"Productivity is a trap. Becoming more efficient just makes you more rushed, and trying to clear the decks simply makes them fill up again faster... Since finitude defines our lives… living a truly authentic life… means facing up to that fact." themarginalian.org/2021/12/20/fou…

Thinking on objects—aka clutter—as I look at my overfilled bookshelves. Are things accumulated in time not valuable “memory objects”? I argue they are: they remind me of who I was, who I am, & who I can or might be in the future. Can you know who you are if you curate it all out?
