Strategic lawn mowing

Have you ever heard about strategic lawn mowing before?
It’s like normal lawn mowing – but smarter.

You see, instead of just rolling out your lawn mower and mindlessly rushing to the closest patch of grass available, you stop and look over the about-to-be-cut lawn and analyse your battlefield. Think about the path you’re going to follow. Make a plan. See if you can avoid doing some parts twice, or trampling the ‘to-be-cut’ grass with your feet before actually cutting it (as that’ll stamp it flat and you won’t fully mow it).

Now, this may all sound a bit geeky, but for me, strategic lawn mowing is iconic for life. There are many things found boring by people, but if we all give into the temptation of acknowledging they’re boring; don’t we make life boring ourselves?

Know one thing; it’s not always about the result. Your lawn will probably look the same whether mowed strategically or stupid. But as often in life, ‘how’ is more important than ‘what’.

Challenge yourself and everything around you.
Don’t make life a chore, and let the fun be in the chase.

Empty shops

If you squint your eyes, you can still see a busy little street here. The shops on Wangxin Road (王新街店铺) near Gaoqiao (高桥) in Pudong, were built in the late Qing Dynasty but now face an uncertain future. They’re not labeled for demolition (the character 拆 isn’t shown), but there are many tags of landlords […]

My favorite places in Shanghai (2025 update)

I saw this message from Curt about how difficult it is to love Shanghai, and there’s some truth in that. Maybe it’s too big a city to love, and I just love some specific locations of Shanghai. Let me have a go. Ye Garden Ye Garden (叶家花园), a ~100-year-old park in Yangpu, hidden behind a […]
