Walport couldn’t help noticing that Canada is a sucking black hole for information-sharing, although I bet he never imagined his own report would gather dust for half a year for no reason anyone has ever explained nor ever will.

This is too important to not be taken seriously

I appreciate new customisation options in iOS 18 for the Control Centre, mostly so that I can remove many of the controls. That said, I took the opportunity to add a control to launch a daily meditation session. The associated shortcut switches to Do Not Disturb and launches directly into the meditation. This has been really helpful in reducing the friction and distractions from building a meditation habit.

So don’t go jumping onto the latest trend, especially not if it’s been around for less time than it takes for your eggs to go bad in the fridge. When any new method arrives, it is worth spending some time evaluating the underlying principles of the method. Particularly seeking where it is similar and where it differs from the established methods at the time to try and work out if there really is much difference (there’s often less difference than people would like to believe or argue there is on the internet).
