This week I mainly worked on organizing my schedule in light of a first half of 2026 that will see me traveling a lot, both for pleasure (Rome, Korea, Monte Carlo, Algiers) and for work (New York, Zurich, and Madrid). I have several personal activities that are about to start, not least the opera history course that will begin at the end of the month.
To prepare for this busy semester, I obviously worked on both making everything fit together in my schedule (not easy) and completing some outstanding tasks like booking hotels for Korea or making a couple of travel-related purchases.
Technical note: starting this week I’m no longer writing the excerpt for the weekly notes: it has little value.

Read(ing)
How to know a person (David Brooks) – I solemnly swear that I’ll finish it this week. I have 100 pages left. You’re authorized to insult me if I don’t finish it.
Study
I’ve continued exploring Claude Code further, primarily by integrating it into my daily workflow. I don’t just use it for writing code or developing projects, but also for presentations and diagrams. I really need to tell you about it sooner or later.
Personal projects
As I was saying at the beginning, I booked the hotels for my trip around Korea. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to print anything (actually I didn’t even try) and the biggest project I worked on was shopping for travel clothes. In short, not exactly stellar.
I also wrote this (Use daily notes to track bits of information you need) blog post about my new method for organizing daily notes in Obsidian.
