Lately I’ve been playing more Sudoku on my train commutes (also about 40 minutes). If you want to look at a screen less, you could get a book of Sudoku puzzles or crosswords or word searches. I feel like it helps me keep my brain sharp

Not feeling pressure to use pi.fyi every single day

One of the few apps with no ephemeral "story" feature or whatever so you don't need to check it every 24 hours. Cherish this.

just write anything and worry about editing it later

It's just like John Swartzwelder said: "Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
