Unfinished business
I have a confession: I hate starting a project and not finishing it. But at the same time, I struggle to define what I mean by “a project”. For example: I think a project for me is something I make, like a creation, or an endeavor. But maybe I’m just trying to make links between…

Bad days count more than the good ones
Here’s a relatable story: You want to seriously start taking care of your body, so you’ve decided to hit the gym every day for a 30 minutes session. – Every one of us at some point in their life As any new goal, you’ll probably do it for the first few days. You’ll crave the…

740-30-12
I have a new addiction. A good one, I think. I used to wake up every day and think about work, chores, and errands. But now, all I can think of is closing my Apple Watch rings: burn 740 calories, do a 30-minute exercise, and stand for 12 hours. 740-30-12 for short. At least, that…

Half marathon
I always had a love-hate relationship with running. I used to run a few kilometers here and there, but I feel tired quickly. My longest run was a 10K run that felt like hell btw. So, at the end of 2022, I decided to start running every day. I wanted to work on this relationship…

How I accomplished 100 projects with simple productivity methods
Just a plain old Kanban board, following a simple formula, and getting things done. Here’s how it looks: Some project names and descriptions were changed for personal reasons. But you can see that 108 projects were archived (ie, done). In addition to this board, I have a list of future projects/ideas above it (not in…

The package vs the cheapest option
You either get the package or the cheapest option. Rarely both. A few years ago, I was all about the cheapest option. I think I was broke, or not valuing my time accordingly. Or probably, a combination of the two. But I’ve evolved to choose the package: to pay a premium if I think the…

Raise your hands
Here’s a question: How many daily tasks force you to raise your hands above your head? If you responded with anything other than none, then congratulations. You’re probably better than 90% of us. Our daily life is now structured around laptops, phones, and sitting down in general. Rarely when we reach out for something above…

You only need these 3 tools to be productive (and they are free)
When it comes to productivity, there is an abundance of tools, hacks, processes, and ideas to try next. Everyday, there is a new productivity app out there trying to sell the idea of: You can be productive, if you can just use our tool. But, is this true? Do we really need those over-engineered tools…

How to structure your life: The Entrepreneur, Manager, and Technician mindset.
I like this quote from the E-Myth Revisited book: Everybody who goes into business is actually three people in one: The Entrepreneur dreams, the Manager frets, and the Technician ruminates. While this is true for business, I personally think it extends to life too. First, we can’t say that running a business = living your…

It’s not about winning the World Cup
As you probably know, Morocco had a great run in the 2022 World Cup but their progression ended in the semi-finals with a 2 – 0 defeat against France. But let me tell you something. We are happy. We indeed wanted to go for the final, but we are still happy with this result. Because…
