This graph by @ton is very inspiring:

This week I’m quite busy, but I feel the urge to map out my complete personal knowledge management / effectiveness system in a similar way.

Why didn’t  include a Timer and Stopwatch widget in iOS 14?

Misschien wordt ik oud of ben ik sinds in in het buitenland woon conservatiever geworden, maar ik erger me steeds meer aan het gebruik van Engelse woorden als er prima Nederlandse alternatieven bestaan.

To start the day, I gave my personal blog a little love, with an updated Now page, some retouches to the About page and removal of the unused Bigfoot plug-in.

Nicholas Bate shares 14 Things to Learn and got me searching for that speech by Mark Anthony in Julius Caesar.

I don’t understand why some people have a blog (a periodic publication) without offering a feed or newsletter to subscribe to.

You really expect me to come back every day to check whether you have published anything new?

To relax my eyes after staring for too long at my screen, I simply turn my chair and observe city life though my office window.

Nothing special is happening, yet a lot is happening at the same time.

#adayinthelife, a micro.blog challenge

This sounds like a perfect day to me.

the goal for this day is simple: Calm

Work-life balance 2020 style

Today was the first day I had to put the heater (just half an hour) to get comfortable at home.

You know what that means: winter is coming!

The busier I am, the more time I find for (micro)blogging

I followed @ton’s example and deleted my Slideshare account.

I still have local copies of all documents I had uploaded and I haven’t logged into Slideshare in ages, so this was a no-brained.

With the rollout of iOS 14 and Safari 14, most web sites are going to see some significant shifts in their statistics.

After four hours, I guess it’s time to stop procrastinating and do something productive…

This is what the outside world sees… 🎞

… and this is what’s really happening… 🎬

It is clear that today wil not be a good day to record new videos.

Thanks to a mention in the latest edition of the newsletter by @rahego I went into a deep dive in old 43 Folders posts.

Still great content after all these years…

Is this turned on?:

IFTTT should improve their usability a little bit.

Back to nature 🚶‍♂️⛰

Wise words from James Clear in his newsletter:

Avoid calendar debt. Don’t spend (free) time you haven’t earned.

A meeting is like a loan: it is time you haven’t earned yet. This is not necessarily a bad thing, since sometimes the inversion is worth it. Just be aware of this fact whenever you make a time-commitment.

More than ever before, we’re using technology to connect with the outside world. And with so many of us now working from home, we’re relying on our phones to stay updated with colleagues and clients. However, when you’re receiving endless Zoom calls and emails, pings on Slack, and notifications from everywhere else, it begins to hinder productivity and focus.

Unexpected? Only if you’re not used to mindful communication.

I followed Roel’s instructions to personalize the colors on this site a little bit.

As usual, also on micro.blog I somehow ended up following way more men than women.

Therefore I call upon my community: which female microbloggers do you recommend me?

My main interests:

• Personal effectiveness ✅
• Hiking 🥾
• Technology (, web services)
• Rock music 🤘
• Personal development 📈
• Beer 🍺
