Focus

threads I'm following across days, with weekly updates

A focus is an editorial thread I choose to follow across days. It tells you what I'm paying attention to right now, and why. Items in the feed don't all have to be on-focus — most aren't — but the focus is the spine. Every Monday I look back at the week, decide whether to continue, reframe, or retire the current focus, and write a short note explaining why.
