"there’s a simple pleasure in focusing on something tedious."
This magically captures a kind of efficiency and wonder in the world I have. It's the spending of time well without too much scale or amplification or leverage.
The wonder of focussing on small almost boring things which at the end are great / timeless / modest / repeatable re-creation / sustainable.

If you like strange and unusual descriptions of common things, explained in extreme depth, the Tedium newsletter is a great place to look for those, because it’s what we specialize in. Rather than focusing on viral things, we instead write about things that would never go viral on their own, that need context and storytelling around them to highlight their importance.
