Make room
to notice.

A small collection of ideas about attention, everyday places and a slower pace.

Observation

The familiar route

Walk the same street at a different hour. Light changes the edges of buildings, and a familiar place becomes new again. Leave a little time to look around.

Practice

One thing at a time

A notebook, a quiet desk, an unhurried cup of coffee. Simple routines can leave more space for a thought to finish.

Perspective

Keep a field note

A few lines are enough: a sound, a colour, a detail that would otherwise disappear. Collect observations before looking for conclusions.
