Other than my #ThaiBalcony, I rely on three boards—as visually appealing as possible (e.g., Helen Sword): a corkboard for important tasks and moodboard material, a blackboard for monthly aims and #VMOSA actions, and a whiteboard for the next 10 days of recurring daily tasks plus a simple dashboard.

Today is home-admin day. #ThaiBalcony needs cleaning; I need backups, laptop + Asana cleanup, and the Australian visa. Then packing: Hong Kong for a day, then the US — #CIES2026 in SF with #FreedomOfConscience, a five-day drive to LA (parks?), and then downtown LA with #RaveAsMethod at #AERA2026.

Back to my systems: Asana, #VMOSA, #ResearchSystems, and of course #ThaiBalcony. I also brought home a small Nepalese counterweight to all that structure: Buddha, Tara, and Ganesh—acquired for 37,000 rupees after 45 minutes of bargaining and several possible configurations.

My process was simple:
1. write a section
2. turn ~500 words / ~5 mins into audio
3. save it with a timestamp in the project folder
4. listen while walking / cleaning / on the #Thaibalcony
5. note revisions in Notes
6. discuss with AI
7. revise
8. repeat
