I really enjoy your style, Derek - calm, grounded, and intentional. The rhythm of your day has everything that makes a life feel full: time in nature, meaningful work without burnout, connection with loved ones.

It sounds so simple, and yet getting there is often the hardest part - tuning out the noise, letting go of doubts, and stepping away from borrowed values and stories about how “hard” or “impossible” it all is.

Thanks for sharing such a powerful reminder of what a well-lived day can look like.

Just upgraded to paid, Derek 🙌🙌 Your journey resonates loud and clear. Maybe because, like you, I'm also half way through my first centenary and more committed than ever to share my passion for living a life focused on doing fun stuff that really matters, and improving through powerful micro-rituals we can embed in our day to day 🙏🏻🙏🏻
