A companion library to my newsletter, Time Spent, where I write about care, time, and invisible labor. In an effort to make some of these resources more easy to find and share, I’m curating my favorite pieces into The Library—a database of notes + tools to help us unpack the harder-to-explain feelings we have about life and work.
In this library, you’ll find me apply this process across three broad questions:
🧪 Process & Practice Lab: How can we approach our time, transitions and creative work with greater care?
🏡 Home & Care as a Studio: What if we viewed our home and care routines as a laboratory or studio?
🌐 Media & Civic Stewardship: Can we better define our responsibilities and skills as stewards of media?
In short, my process looks like this:
The Library
Themes defined below, new resources being added monthly.
🧪 Process & Practice Lab
Experiments and tools for shaping time, attention, and creative workflows.
A practical tool to help you imagine, design, and communicate a personal sabbatical—adapted Issue #61: How to design a sabbatical
🏡 Home as a Care Studio

A compilation of responses to the question: should I put my kid in preschool and if so, how much time?
A prompt for setting up home, community and media spaces — adapted from Issue #58: How to Design A Life
🌐 Media & Civic Stewardship
Ethics, literacies, and practices for information citizenship.

Library Support + Services:
Become a Library Patron → $7/mo (Substack)
All Library content stays free. The $7/mo tier covers one candid “Patron Letter” each month—behind-the-scenes dispatches on how I’m planting, pruning, and polishing new tools.
Assign Me Something – $200+
Each resource in the library is the outcome of me “thinking through a feeling” about work or life and building an exercise to navigate the moment. If you want help navigating yours, submit your situation and I’ll draft an issue based on it. Private designs are available at a custom quote.
Office Hours → 30 min • $85
Unsure about an assignment or just want to talk? Office hours grants you an off-the-record call to brainstorm or offer feedback on a project or feeling of your choice, in Time Spent style. I’m not a coach but I’ll ask you good questions!
✨ This project is an experiment for me, so if you have feedback, questions or want to connect you can email me here.
