Yarn, Paddle Boards, & Thought Prompts

This week’s Weekend Reads explores what sparks our thinking, how small inputs shape our perspective, and why we don’t have to feel ready before we begin. I share a simple experiment inspired by an AI newsletter, a short reflection on boredom and the brain’s Default Mode Network, and a re-visit of a paddleboarding lesson that continues to remind me that momentum often comes before clarity. You’ll also find a set of gentle morning reflection prompts you can use with AI as a mirror (not a replacement brain), including a few originally created by Alex Morgan of The Neuron and several co-created with Scribbs. Links and resources mentioned are included in the email version.
