Microprinciples are short essays about the gap between what we know and what we do. How boredom might be useful. Why perfectionism backfires. When to stop trying so hard.

I write about the everyday puzzles that don't have obvious solutions—the stuff that requires you to think sideways rather than harder.

Each Wednesday, you get a different way of seeing something you already know. Some observations are borrowed, some discovered in odd corners, most were earned by doing things wrong the first ime.

Shorter than a TED talk. More honest than a fortune cookie.
