Calm Year
This year was, to me at least, a year of relaxation. For the first time in nearly 20 years I aimed to sleep more than 6 hours a night/day and last night I slept well over 8, almost 9. In the coming days there will be many annual tasks to finish and also literature to finish. Next year will probably be more of the same.
To be clear, being relaxed that does not mean being less productive. Mental calm can lead to even high productivity and moreover accuracy.
Being relaxed isn't a condition one can buy or impose upon oneself. There are practices that try to teach people how to attain "Zen" or how to find peace of mind.
Running sites and adding GNU/Linux news (curating stuff) requires calm because better assessment or objective curation would not work if one feels highly emotional. █
