Modern educational institutions care a lot about content: what theories we teach, what ideas students are exposed to, what skills they come away knowing. But we rarely address the more general question of how one transforms their mind into a tool well-honed for elite-level cognitive work.

Of course, I was too chicken to win this game…

When I grow up I wanna be an influencer.

All human evil comes from this: our inability to sit still in a chair for half an hour.

When it comes to personal effectiveness, the tools are never the issue.

I say all this to suggest that, perhaps, email is not “broken” but the way we are using it is. Perhaps there is a solution that could make things better for you that doesn’t involve a new app or service. Perhaps, if you hate it, in changing the way you approach it you’ll find a way to love it again.

Intuition is a poor guide but a great guard. 

Why did WordPress decide that it’s a good idea to suddenly activate the block editor in their apps? This should be opt-in!

When you support free, you support billionaires. When you pay, you support sane businesses and real creators.

The tiniest flower can make me happy.

A company or person exclaiming they are the first, the only or the best in the market is usually a sign of ignorance and lack of knowledge about the market.

Once again, I have updated the Now page.

From a distance the mating dance of the male ostrich can look unusual the bit like a millennial at an outdoor music festival that just ate a brownie he bought from a man that calls himself Magic Joe. However if we travel inside of the mind of the male ostrich it goes something like this, ‘oh my god, oh my god…’
