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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
