What I’m doing right now

Updated May 2026

Parenting two toddlers. Reclaiming time for myself after a long stretch of survival mode.

I recently started using a framework I’m calling Maintain, Improve, Build — each day, my top three tasks come from one of those categories. The Build slot is where I work on personal projects, even if it’s just 15 minutes. I’m running these in 2-week sprints. Read more here.

Current experiments

• Sprint system — testing constraints to stay focused: pick the idea by Day 3, set a clear completion goal. Still iterating.
• Good Enough, On Purpose — a philosophy for how I manage home systems. Not written up yet.
• Balancing build time vs. sleep — the Build slot is working too well. I keep blowing past 15 minutes and losing sleep. Figuring out the guardrails.

Recent builds

• Teresa - A prayer app (Sprint 1) — built for personal use, still improving it.
• This blog! - relaunched after 5 years
