Gonna have to disagree with #3 - stopping Vim is not necessary for this. There’s the builtin :! command.

not being released until next year.

Don’t forget /auto, for things that get automatically mounted when you first access them (autofs)

Not completely ignoring - I assume that was the swipe about “only engages in genocide reluctantly” was about.

Myself, I agree with you that we haven’t seen much sign of that reluctance.

Favorite would be a highly customized zsh.

fizsh (not fish) is what I actually end up using, as I can’t be bothered to copy that config around and retune it for each machine. Gives me the syntactic sugar of zsh with common default options on by default, an OK default prompt, and doesn’t break POSIX assumptions like fish. Also Installs quickly from the package manager without needing to run through the zsh setup each time - unlike oh-my-zsh. And if I still need customization, all the zsh options are still there.

Yes. Personally I can’t stand guided meditation - it never moves at the right speed. Za-zen, Vipassana, Hwa Tou, mantras, fire gazing, Silent Illumination, and others can be helpful.

The key is to remember that meditation is practice - there’s no end state where you’ve “gotten it right.”

Getting distracted is not failure. Noticing that you’ve become distracted and bringing attention back to your focus is success.

Absolutely. Bullet journal changes my life during the periods I'm able to keep up the habit.
