My name is Pat Darnell, and LEF stands for how I try to live: less effort, more intention.
This blog is a place for clear thinking in a noisy world. It’s where I write through ideas about life, focus, work, meaning, and the subtle choices that shape how we spend our time. LEF isn’t about shortcuts or hacks. It’s about removing what doesn’t matter so what does can breathe.
I’m interested in the quiet middle ground between doing too much and doing nothing. The space where awareness replaces urgency, and direction comes from clarity rather than pressure. Here, you’ll find reflections on simplifying thought patterns, paying attention to what’s actually happening, and learning to live with fewer assumptions and more honesty.
LEF exists as a low-noise corner of the internet. No performance. No rush. Just ideas explored carefully, one thought at a time.
