Notes
A theoretical physicist’s notes on building an independent life.
I write about the parts of life that make difficult work possible: science, books, learning, nutrition, exercise, technology, money, organisation, and the search for greater independence.
Learning and work
How I study difficult subjects, organise long projects, use AI and software, and protect time for serious thought.
Health and movement
Experiments with food, strength, mobility, recovery, and the physical routines that support sustained intellectual work.
Building an independent life
Practical notes on work, money, environments, habits, and the systems that make a capable and self-directed life easier to maintain.
