Such a great list!

That’s a lot of quantified self data

Finished reading: Designing the Mind by Ryan Bush 📚
Interesting and well written book about building proactive life on a cognitive, emotional and behavioral level. I liked how Ryan was able to draw simple schematics for the algorithms in our mind.
An unstructured 5-minute break from thinking is all you need to get your concentration back.

📸 Another week, another Tevaplanter update
The chia plants on my Tevaplanter are thriving, as shown in the progress from week 0 to week 1 to now:
Although I expected all the chia seeds to sprout, there are some areas where growth has not occurred. I suspect this may be due to the high temperatures on my outdoor patio, which make it difficult to maintain proper moisture levels for the plants.
To further explore and determine the best setup and purpose for the vessel, I plan to conduct an indoor experiment using chia seeds. This will help me make an informed decision on how to proceed.
Why does the EU still require a tax on hardware purchases to compensate media enterprises, despite the prevalence of streaming media?
Yesterday my iPad died with no way to resuscitate it 😱.
I have decided to hold off on purchasing a replacement for the time being and instead utilize my iPhone for media consumption. Although the smaller screen size proves to be a minor inconvenience, I am managing to adapt.
Nevertheless, it is inevitable that I will soon need to invest in a new iPad, as it is essential for running Keynote presentations during my workshops.

📸 Chia growing on my Tevaplanter
After five days, the chia buds are clearly visible and the roots start to grab hold of the Tevaplanter vessel’s surface
📸 Tevaplanter loaded with chia seeds
Two and half years after ordering, my Tevaplanter finally arrived. Yesterday I filled the cells with chia seeds for my first experiment to learn how to use it.
I will keep you posted on further progress.

I rely on Kill the newsletter! to manage all my newsletter subscriptions, as I prefer reading them in my feed reader rather than my email app.
However, I’ve encountered an issue recently with Substack. They are not allowing me to subscribe using a kill-the-newsletter.com email address, stating that they cannot validate the email domain. This is quite disappointing. ☹️
I attempted to find information on how to validate an email domain on their support site, but there is no relevant information available. Even if there were, it wouldn’t make a difference since it’s not my domain.
Nevertheless, I still do not want those newsletters cluttering my email inbox, so I have decided not to subscribe for now…
Walk into working Monday with a plan.
(Best created Friday mid-PM)
Until a few weeks ago I always created my week plan on Monday morning and now I usually do it on Sundays to start the week with impulse. Of course, Nicholas is right: Friday afternoon is the best moment to plan the week ahead.

We believe in effectiveness. How little can we do? How much can we cut out? Instead of adding to-dos, we add to-don’ts.

Do less and achieve more.
Just as an over-stuffed washing machine doesn’t do its job, an over-full day causes its owner to become stressed, fatigued and to lose focus on the true priorities.
