As of today, this blog has a “now page”.

What is a “now page”?

It’s a really good idea by Derek Sivers. From nownownow.com:

a page that tells you what this person is focused on at this point in their life.

Back then in the good old days of Unix, we called it a .plan file. Today, it’s not easy to finger your friends, so “now pages” are the new .plan.

If you’re ever wondering what I’m doing, there’s a page for that, now. I made myself a reminder to update it regularly. To keep me honest, my now page has an updated date at the top. Maybe I should version it somehow? That could be fun.

Now pages are great, you should have one, too!
