Keep a small notebook

The most useful notes are often brief: a question worth returning to, a sketch of something that could work better, a few words about a place you want to remember.

Make room for simple things

A good walk rarely needs a destination. Choosing an unfamiliar street or following a riverside path can be enough to reset a busy afternoon.

Build with care

Small projects benefit from patient attention. Start with one useful detail, see how it behaves, and make the next change when it is needed.
