Since 1980, the proportion of hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean that develop to a Category 3 or higher has roughly doubled. The biggest shift, due largely to the increase in ocean temperatures, is the storms’ ability to so rapidly intensify, thereby making it that much more difficult to prepare.

I began to look at rest not as simply collapsing when I was exhausted, but as a regular practice that was an investment in my future self.

Tiago Forte, creator of *Building a Second Brain*, argues that a knowledge system isn’t about hoarding information; it’s about making it useful. His **C.O.D.E. framework** (Capture, Organize, Distill, Express) breaks this down:
• **Capture** the ideas and insights that spark your interest. A sticky note, a voice memo, or an app like Notion—whatever works.
• **Organize** them so you can find them later. Categories, tags, or even a simple “Projects” list will do.
• **Distill** your notes into their essential meaning. Ask: What’s the big takeaway here?
• **Express** your ideas by using them in your work. Share them in a blog, design a product, or test them out in conversation.
The magic lies in simplicity. You’re not saving *everything*—just what sparks curiosity or solves a problem. The goal? To create a system that serves your life, not one you’re constantly “fixing.”
