North Star Notes

Short reminders about taste, values, and the kind of work I want to keep choosing. This page is a placeholder note for testing chapter navigation, scroll progress, and the reading layout before the full write-up is published.

Taste

Placeholder for the work that sets the bar — projects, writing, and products whose quality is worth chasing, and what specifically makes them good.

Values

The non-negotiables: who the work serves, what it refuses to do, and the tradeoffs worth accepting to keep those commitments intact.

Placeholder artifact

Choosing

A short decision filter for new opportunities — the questions that separate work worth keeping from work that just fills the calendar.
