About

About Zenunwa

Who runs Zenunwa, what the blog covers, how articles are researched and checked, and how to reach the people who write them.

What this site is

Zenunwa publishes when there is something to publish. There is no schedule and no filler, and every piece stays in the archive even after we have changed our minds about it.

Most of what is written about Calm living, mindfulness and slow days is written by people who have never had to live with the results. Zenunwa is the opposite arrangement, and that is the whole idea behind it.

Where we stop

What we do not do is predict outcomes. Nothing about Calm living, mindfulness and slow days works that way, and pages that pretend otherwise are selling something.

About the name

People ask about the name. There is rarely a good story behind a domain, and there is not one here either. Zenunwa was available, it was short enough to say out loud, and it has been the name long enough now that changing it would be more confusing than keeping it.

The topics

  • Games. Video games and gaming, especially the cozy and calm games that help people unwind.
  • Mindfulness. Small attention habits that fit into an ordinary day.
  • Sleep. Evenings, wind down routines and rest that actually restores.
  • Slow Living. Doing fewer things, more slowly, and liking it.
  • Calm Home. Rooms, light and corners that make a home feel quieter.
  • Wellbeing. Balanced days, breaks and gentle routines.

Articles are filed under one topic each, so an archive page reads as a list rather than a pile. Most of the traffic here lands on games, mindfulness and sleep.

The people

Every article carries the name of the person who wrote it, and every name links to a page listing everything else they have written.

Elodie Fairbanks, Editor. Elodie left a loud agency job for a quieter life and writes about the routines that made the change stick.

Tamsin Okoye, Games writer. Tamsin plays cozy and puzzle games every evening and writes about why calm games matter.

Ravindra Pillai, Sleep and home writer. Ravindra writes about sleep, light and small home changes, after years of fixing his own restless nights.

How an article gets made

The method is dull and it works. Explain what happens, explain what it costs, explain what can go wrong, then stop writing.

We buy what we write about. It is slower, it is more expensive, and it is the only arrangement that lets us say a thing was not worth it.

The full process, including corrections and commercial links, is set out on the editorial policy page.

Fixing mistakes

Corrections go to [email protected]. Quote the sentence rather than describing it. We would rather log a visible correction than edit a page and hope nobody noticed, and the contact page explains the rest.
