A BRIEF PAUSE

Hey folks,

Hope everyone’s having a happy Labor Day — or, if that doesn’t mean anything to you because you’re outside the U.S. (or just not into Labor Day), then just a happy day!

To get to the point: I have to put TAoN on a brief pause, maybe three weeks, give or take, while I take care of some other obligations.

Those of you who are paid subscribers: Don’t worry, this pause freezes all billing/subscription cycles, until I resume publication. More here.

I know this might be a bit of a bummer — especially for all the new subscribers who just signed up over the past week or two! So maybe check out some past TAoN guest prompts I’ve written about? In no particular order:

  • Ingrid Fetell Lee on collecting joy

  • Larry Smith on six-word introspection

  • Tom Vanderbilt on how to get a new perspective

  • Anne Kadet on appreciating random people

  • Jude Stewart on noticing smell

  • Michael Pederson on walking a route you usually drive

  • Ximena Vengoechea on listening to your listening

  • Ron Lieber on reading walls

  • Wesley Verhoeve on second looks

  • McKinley Valentine on levels of attention

  • Miranda Mellis on lucid napping

  • Mason Currey on monitoring everyday thought

  • Josh Glenn on meaningful color

  • Rebekah Modrak on the power of humility

That should keep you busy: It’s an impressive array of totally free inspiration and insight! So enjoy, and I’ll be back before you know it.

Thanks for the patience and understanding.

OKAY THAT’S IT!
