Thorough essay, good work. Great you mentioned taking a break and knowing when to call it a day. The times I’ve damaged tools and damaged myself have all been when I’m tired, distracted and overworked. To do lists aren’t meant to ever be finished I think (the world might break or something bad like that) so knowing when to call it a day is a good skill.

This is something I wrote about my scything experience a while back (sorry to self promote haha):

Have you read Paul Kingsnorth’s essay about the scythe?

I am not familiar with Paul Kingsnorth's work, but I'll be happy to catch up on some good reading, probably around the New Year. Thanks for the recommendation!
