  • Explore a map for each month's cycle that not only includes things to do, but also things to avoid

    Start each month with a simple plan. Write down what you want to do and what you should avoid. This helps you use your time and energy well. Think about tasks you want to complete and things that cause you stress. By knowing what to avoid, you can take small steps to prevent problems. Remember that this plan is flexible and helps you navigate through the month, even if unexpected things happen.

    Don’t just look at your obligations and deadlines, but also at what makes you happy. By including personal goals and fun activities in your planning, you remain not only productive but also satisfied. Consider potential problems, such as procrastination, and come up with solutions. This can be done by breaking large tasks into smaller pieces or by taking regular breaks.

    A monthly plan is not only about what you need to do but also about what you should avoid. Make sure to take time to relax and recover. Set boundaries for your work time to prevent burnout. By clearly defining your goals and limits, you can have a balanced and satisfying month. Keep adjusting and improving your approach so that it fits well with what you need, both personally and professionally.

  • I have to say, the Twitter data archive is very well made. It comes with a html page to visually navigate most of the contents (tweets, likes, DMs, lists,…). You can filter tweets by date, search in the archive and much more…

    It’s probably wasted (crypto)money, but I just wanted to explore this phenomenon… Furthermore, who doesn’t want to own and old screenshot of the 1997 WinZip.com home page?

  • How come this channel does not have more subscribers?

    Almost 20 years ago, Pixar released the first fully computer animated movie and now, one guy can DIY something with greater realism in only 3.5 weeks using off the shelf gear. Amazing!

  • After a few years without using it, today I opened the Keybase app again.

    Digging around in the settings I found that there is a wallet inside the app, with over 1.000 Stellar Lumen (a crypto currency) in it. I vaguely remember having received those for free in the Keybase Spacedrop.

    The biggest surprise is the current value of those lumen is arround 330€. Now, let’s see how I can spend that free money…

  • I’m getting annoyed by all the silos for tv and movie content. I’d rather have something similar as the music business, where most of the content is available on all services.

  • Meetings are the worst form of productivity. The “doing” gets done outside of meetings. Doing happens when you have time to think.
    Doers schedule thinking.

    As Jason Fried once said, meetings should be like salt on a meal.

  • When making yearly or quarterly plans, I always fail to account for my diminished productivity in august due to the really hot afternoons.

    The mornings are alright, but after 15:00 I usually feel too lazy to get out of the sofa to do anything useful.

    But that is ok. I just have to accept the facts, make the most of my mornings and use my afternoons to relax at the pool without feeling guilty.

    That last part is obviously the most difficult …

  • Since the beginning of the year I have listened almost every week to Andrew Huberman’s podcast (even though his episodes come in with at least a whopping 90 minutes) and learned a ton.

    Last week’s episode is fantastic, since he basically summarizes all scientifically proven protocols from all episodes about optimizing your body and mind.

    I have sooo many little habits to adjust!
