Optima

This blog

…is about optimising — doing things as well as possible, in life and work.

Much has been written on these topics before; but I hope you’ll find some new & useful thoughts here.

This blog’s name, by the way, not only means ‘optimal things’ — the kind of things I like — but is also one of my favourite fonts.

Me

I’m Ben Finn. I think a lot about life, work, and optimising.

My half-relevant credentials: after studying philosophy, I co-founded & ran the music software company Sibelius. I apply optimisation in work, life, Effective Altruism, and stock market trading.
