about

Bear in Mind exists to fight the forgetting curve and make learning stick.

this is Mind the Bear.
I’m a writer, marketer, runner, tinkerer, and all-around curious human trying to learn how to learn — and remember what the hell I just read five minutes ago.

Bear in Mind is my personal learning lab.

It’s where I document what I’m exploring — from SEO to trail running, freelancing to AI tools — and share the stuff that actually helps me get better at stuff. No fluff. No hacks. No 10-step systems from someone who’s never done the thing.

I started this site because I realized I was Googling the same questions over and over again… and forgetting the answers just as fast. So I decided to start writing things down. Reflecting on what worked (and what definitely didn’t).

Now, I treat this space like my digital second brain — but with more sarcasm and fewer tags.

Stuff I’m into (and writing about):
  • Learning how to learn
  • Freelancing, content, and SEO
  • Building things online
  • Productivity without burnout
  • Memory, note-taking, and spaced repetition
  • Running, hiking, and being a functioning human

Cool. Me too — especially if you’re learning something interesting, building something weird, or just want to say hi. I’m always up for a good brain ping, a thoughtful rabbit hole, or a mildly chaotic side project. This isn’t a one-way blog — it’s more fun when it’s a conversation.
