About this daily feature

Each edition has room for an original artwork inspired by an artist I like and the things on my mind. This first piece was made for 6 September 2026. New artworks are added by the editor; automatic daily generation is not connected. Until a new piece is ready, the latest one stays here with its original date.

HAPPY 5 TODAY

Five small ways to make today better.

A little movement. A little generosity. A little more human.

MOVE

Go somewhere on foot that you normally pass by.

GIVE

Send a proper thank you to someone who probably does not hear it enough.

CONNECT

Ask somebody how they really are. Leave room for the answer.

CALM

Take three unhurried breaths. That counts.

GROW

Learn one thing about a place you have never visited.

Try any of these. Visitor ticks last for this visit only.

A THOUGHT BEFORE YOU GET ON WITH IT

THE NOBLEST ART

The noblest art is that of making others happy.

P. T. Barnum
Quotation sourceBarnum’s signed manuscript · 19 July 1889

Whose day could you improve?

A proper thank you. A laugh. An introduction that opens a door. Happiness can be something we give each other.

DO YOU BUY THAT?

A daily rotation. Some ideas are worth coming back to.

UGANDA WATCH

A WINDOW INTO KAMPALA

Practical skills. Real jobs. A new route for Uganda’s young people.

Uganda is developing practical training in farm machinery, irrigation and soil testing. The interesting question: can a skills programme become a genuine route into work?

THE THREAD THROUGH IT ALL

Someone gave you a chance.
Pass one on.

Talent is everywhere. A first opportunity isn’t. An introduction, a first customer, a proper job: small doors can open a life.

05 /OVER THE FENCE

OVER
THE FENCE.

Things Marcus didn’t ask for.

A USEFUL CHANGE OF SCALE

Your inbox is quite small from here.

Take a look at today’s astronomy picture. Spend thirty seconds being interested in something spectacularly far away.

What feels less urgent now?

A daily rotation of editorial discoveries. Not an algorithm learning your preferences.

THE GENERAL IDEA

WHAT
I RECKON.

Subject to a better argument.

Ask better questions.

Try the thing.

Read people you disagree with.

If you’ve had opportunities, create some for somebody else.

Creativity is not a luxury.

Being different can be useful.

Make money. Make things better.

Change your mind occasionally.

Go somewhere you haven’t been.

Don’t become unbearably serious.
