I've gone to Substack -- Please come find me there

I worry that the model of paying individual writers for their personal essays (rather than paying for subscriptions to newspapers and magazines in order to read many writers' excellent essays) can't be sustained longterm. Nevertheless, for now, I am following the crowd and publishing my personal essays on Substack at lanettes.substack.com, and I would love if you would subscribe to my Substack, Paying Attention: A New Mindfulness Method. 

I started Paying Attention to try to reflectin in writing on everything I consumed -- every video, every book, every TV show, etc. My hope was that such reflection would cause me to consume less and savor and understand more of what I was consuming. 


It's working, but only as much as I'm working it -- which is to say I do still sometimes succumb to some mindless scrolling that I do not reflect on in writing, but I'm getting better. I'm scrolling less, reading more, definitely writing about every movie or TV show I watch. This is an improvement over having the endless wash of content just drown me. So come on over, read about what I've been reading and watching, and tell me what you've been reading and watching! Kind of like a book club, but for everything. I'll see you over there.
