About
I'm running an experiment on myself.
Hello. I'm Murat. Most of my life has been spent making systems faster — software architectures, databases, logistics, e-commerce. Time, to me, was always a problem to "optimise." I'm still in it, by the way; I haven't quit anything.
Then one day I noticed: no matter how fast the machine gets, I don't have to live at that speed. Trying to sync my heartbeat to the processor's clock had worn me out. I decided to slow down — not by escaping, but right in the middle of the city and the work.
I'm still learning the way too
I'm only just discovering slow living. What I read, what I try, what works and what doesn't — I note it here. A journal I keep for myself, left out in the open. I decided to slow down and things started to change in my life; what happens here is just the record of that. Read it if you like, come along with me if you like, or don't.
Now and then I'll lose to my old habits and spend a day in a spiral of stress, and I'll write that too. Because this is a going, not an arrival — and stumbling is part of the road.
