# Hacks in Plain Text

## Seeing the Shortcut

A hack isn't a trick or a cheat. It's the quiet path you notice after staring at a problem too long. Like finding the back door to a garden you've walked past a hundred times. In a world of tangled instructions, a hack clears the way with one clean move. No fanfare, just relief.

## Markdown's Quiet Wisdom

This site lives at hacks.md, a nod to Markdown itself. Plain words with a few marks—hashtags, asterisks—turn chaos into order. No bloated tools, no steep learning curves. It's a reminder: elegance hides in simplicity. What if we treated life the same? Strip back the extras. Let the structure emerge.

## Living the Hack

Every day offers these moments:
- Breathing deep before words fly out.
- Walking instead of scrolling.
- Asking "enough?" before piling on more.

On this winter day in 2025, as light lingers late, I see hacks everywhere. Not in apps or gadgets, but in pauses, in noticing. They don't conquer; they reveal what's already there.
