One default in my life that I recognize needs redesigning is the way I approach rest and recovery. My current default is to treat downtime as optional, something I squeeze in only after everything else is done, which often leaves me running on empty. I’ve tried to resist this pattern with discipline—pushing myself to keep going or promising I’ll rest later—but that only reinforces the cycle of urgency and fatigue. What I need instead is a system where rest is built into the structure of my day, not left to chance. That could mean pre‑deciding to block out short breaks, designing my environment so that restorative activities are the easiest option, and protecting my energy by treating recovery as a non‑negotiable part of productivity. By shifting the default from “rest if possible” to “rest by design,” I create stability that supports momentum, and that momentum ultimately gives me the freedom to sustain my focus and creativity.

@Bradley Trede excellent... I would love to hear what can be improved! I always prefer better ways of doing things.

@Bradley Trede yes, that idea I picked up off Tiktok, I have been using it constantly for more complicated tasks where accuracy is essential.

@Bradley Trede thats a hard one... I have carried a camera for over 50 years, its hard to sift out a favourite when each is a pleasure to take. Here are a few samples: https://www.instagram.com/wildlife_cornucopia/
