# Personal

Personal life, family, relationships, and non-work interests. The area that keeps everything grounded.

## Scope

- **Family** — regular calls home, visits to [[person-nonna-lucia]], staying connected despite distance
- **Relationships** — friendships, social dinners, maintaining a life outside of work
- **Hobbies** — [[topic-cooking]], [[topic-music-guitar]], [[topic-travel]]
- **Rest & downtime** — intentionally unstructured time, weekends without screens, vacation planning

## Philosophy

It's easy to let the Building area consume everything. This area exists as a reminder that the point of building a sustainable business is to have a good life — not the other way around. Protecting personal time is not a luxury; it's what makes the work sustainable long-term.

## Notes

- Dinner events with friends are tracked as recurring events — not because socializing needs to be optimized, but because it's easy to let weeks slip by without seeing people
- Family calls are a non-negotiable weekly commitment
- Travel planning happens quarterly, usually tied to cycling events or conferences
