Treating myself to a cup of Greek yoghurt, blueberries and redcurrants while reading White Nights by Fëdor Dostoevskij.

Summer is here. Time to carry thick books and read them at the park, eat something refreshing and delicious, go on long walks, admire the pretty flowers and get your daily dose of vitamin D.

Did a lot of reading. I'm almost finished with Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates. Such a "traumatic" read, so dark and uncomfortable, but beautifully written. Worked on my Substack. Then went for a little walk at the park.

Sunday...do I need to say more?

House chores, a long walk in nature, a little second hand book haul and then just relax for the rest of the day.

Simple pleasures: eating seasonal fruits, enjoying nature, going to art museums, getting lost in a book and savouring a cappuccino and croissant for breakfast.

Finally decided to tackle reading something by Fernando Pessoa. I don't know why but his most popular one, The Book of Disquiet, intimidates me so much, so I decided to start with his poetry. So far so good. Exquisite, I should say!

Did research for some articles for my Substack, wrote one, and read a lot while enjoying a delicious afternoon snack.

[14/100] days of productivity

I'm making progress with my process of copying my most valuable screenshots in my commonplace journal. Anything like quotes, interesting facts, useful websites, articles and so on.

I've started transcribing things from Sept. 2023 a couple of days ago, and now I just finished the ones from Oct. 2024!

This is such a therapeutic activity. I love it.

I've been really into this task of copying all the good stuff i screenshotted into my commonplace journal. The screenshots started in September 2023 and now I'm transcribing things from June 2024.

I'm slowly catching up!

[12/100] days of productivity

Spent hours copying quotes and other random things collected during the months―thanks to my "obsessive screenshotting mania"―into my commonplace journal.

So relaxing. Almost therapeutic. I recommend.

House chores and then just relax. A nice walk. Finally, a cozy mexican dinner with friends.

I did some damage.

Read...A LOT.

and that's all.

[8/100] days of productivity

worked on some articles for my Substack, made a lot of progress with Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates (this book is...devastating and kinda traumatic), did house chores, and went for a walk.

[6/100] days of productivity

I finished reading Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Laurence and started adding my favourite quotes on @literarymood

made notes about a couple of interesting articles (I'll share them soon)

the weather was miserable, but I went to the bookstore just to browse and walk a bit

ate pasta with chickpeas...it was delicious!

current reads:

• Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates

• Sappho of Lesbos by Alexander Trocchi

• The Triumph of Death by Gabriele D'Annunzio

• The Dead City by Gabriele D'Annunzio

a little Sunday treat + Oscar Wilde poetry.

perfect combo.
