![[img - cookonething.jpg]] Welcome to this little outpost on the far reaches of the internet. Think of it as being on the outer rim of the solar system in a rich and varied universe of opportunity! If you've found yourself here, then welcome! --- # 🌱- What Is This Place? This site is set up as a [[250317 - Digital Garden|Digital Garden]] - an online space at the intersection of a notebook and a blog, where I can share seeds of thoughts to be cultivated in public. This digital garden is evergreen: I keep editing and refining notes rather than letting them decay after publication. There's no chronological order here, instead, you'll find a network of interconnected ideas linked together, creating trails you can follow based on your interests. This garden is here to help me share the evolving seeds of my thinking as I grow with Personal Knowledge Management (PKM), my cooking adventures, and perhaps as I move forward with tiny experiments in AI, data and personal growth. Some paths will be well-trodden and polished, while others might be rougher works-in-progress—much like a real garden with both manicured lawns and wild experimental patches!

I'm embracing the philosophy of "Cook One Thing" focusing deeply on individual skills and projects one at a time, allowing each to develop fully before moving to the next. I'm exploring what it means to truly give myself the space to cook without distraction. This approach isn't just about preparing food (though that's certainly part of it). It's about the power of focused attention and deliberate practice. It's about recognising that mastery comes not from spreading ourselves thin across many projects, but from giving our full attention to one thing at a time. It's about finding the right ingredients, tools, and environment to produce something of genuine value, whether that's a perfect loaf of bread, a well-crafted paragraph, or an elegant solution to a complex problem. In this [[250317 - Digital Garden|digital garden]], I'm cultivating ideas about how we learn, grow, and create—with cooking as both the medium and the metaphor. I'm documenting my own experiments in doing one thing well before moving to the next, creating a compound effect of small improvements that lead to significant growth. You'll find these explorations whether they relate to the kitchen, personal knowledge management, or other domains entirely. Feel free to wander the paths, explore the corners, and perhaps take home something that inspires your own culinary adventures—both literal and metaphorical. Happy cooking! ## Latest Post: [[250321 - Learning Curse]] --- ![[Garden Directory#Table of Contents]] <iframe align="Center" src="https://cookonething.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:2px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> --- ### Rice Pudding: >_If you came looking for my grandma's rice pudding recipe... >I'm afraid you won't find it here.... >I wish I had it myself.... >I suspect there never was one... >Just the knowledge passed through generations >Though I do have an [[Rice Pudding|alternative]] that might satisfy your cravings._
