A snapshot of what Vitals is focused on right now — a /now page in the Derek Sivers tradition. Updated roughly monthly.
Writing
Building out the foundation set: sleep, beginner strength training, and everyday stress. Each piece starts from the research, gets tested against a few real weeks, and only then gets written up — plainly, with the uncertainty left in.
Reading
Working through the evidence base on circadian rhythm and light exposure, resistance-training dose-response, and the behavioural side of stress (CBT-I, stimulus control). The goal is to separate what the studies actually support from what the internet repeats.
Testing
Running the habits before recommending them — a fixed wake time, a twice-weekly full-body routine, and a long-exhale breathing drill — and keeping notes on what sticks in an ordinary busy week.
