Warm Wishes for Rest and Play

What a year! ICE abducting people. Attacks on higher ed. Devastating budget cuts. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. I’m sending warm wishes to all of you.

For me, this fall included an ADHD diagnosis and a 3-month period of frequent insomnia (which thankfully seems to have ended). My newsletter has been on the back burner, and now I have the energy to return to it.

I’ve been writing a sustainable productivity manifesto, which I’ll be sharing in the new year. I’m also writing some “deeper dive” posts about particular parts of the manifesto, as well as a personal post with some thoughts about how being neurodivergent shapes my specific work processes and approach to editing.

For those of you wrapping up your semesters, I wish you well with the final flurry of tasks. And I hope you all have some time in December to rest and play—to do some of the things that recharge you and bring you joy. Take care, and I’ll see you in the new year.
