Adopting the PARA system
It’s been a while since I’ve been active online. The last few weeks were hectic as too many things were going on at the same time. The majority on a personal level. My to-do list was full. I felt I was doing a million tasks a day. And I felt unproductive. My head was working…

Moving to TickTick from Todoist
This is a little overdue as I moved to TickTick a while ago, but figured out I can give a quick summary. You can follow me on Twitter for these “hot” updates. I explained why I switched to TickTick in that Twitter thread, but let me give you a quick summary: Todoist didn’t have a…

Inactivity is not the goal. Doing what excites you is.
As I’ve been reading my notes from the 4 hour workweek book, I found this interesting note: Inactivity is not the goal. Doing what excites you is.

Trying new apps
There are so many apps out there and I always get tempted to try them! Especially those fixing one small thing that’s been itching me for some time. The latest one of those apps is Linear. It looks like a good app for project management, especially given I have a lot of side projects, and…

A non-growing to-do list
We all know what’s the problem with to-do lists: They grow bigger and bigger every day. Few months in, and you’ll end up with a long list you may never complete in your lifetime. Seeing such a list every day will be exhausting for you and your mental health. That’s why I deliberately keep my…
