Why Vinyl Makes Me a Better Listener

Choosing an Album

When you put on a record, you're making a commitment. You chose this album. You're going to sit with it. There's no skip button worth using.

The Ritual

Pulling the sleeve, placing the needle, sitting down - it's a ritual that creates space. Space to actually listen, not just hear.

What It Teaches

Vinyl taught me that the best experiences come from constraints. Fewer choices. More depth. It's the same principle I apply to dashboards, to writing, to leading a team.
