Pay attention

A collection of small discoveries. We write about places, creative routines, and making room for a more considered everyday.

Keeping a smaller list
A notebook, three things to do, and the permission to leave some space in the day. Less structure can sometimes make room for better work.
Things that stay with us
The cup you reach for every morning. A chair by the window. A few familiar objects make a place feel like your own.
About the journal
Relay is an independent notebook about ordinary life and the ideas that shape it. Published slowly, whenever there is something to share.
