This semester has been one of the best teaching semesters of my life and it's almost entirely because of going 90%+ to pen and paper. My students are fully doing it, without complaint, and it's beautiful. They're actually reading. They're writing weird shit. They're being brave. They like this.

My writing advice? Find an activity that fully empties your skull, and make it a part of your daily routine. Exercise, art, video games, snowboarding, cooking; anything that leaves NO ROOM for intrusive thoughts or obsession. Brains need oil changes to maintain peak performance. Be stupid once a day
