🥳The horrible COVID headaches are gone! 📒I got a reusable notebook: Rocketbook Fusion and some blue and colored Pilot Frixion Synergy pens in 0.5mm. It comes with a black 0.7mm and I prefer writing in blue. I really like the feel of writing on it, it's exceptional … | Continue reading
I have a system I've been using since 2019 for taking notes at work. I use an Arc notebook that I got from Staples that has refillable pages. It's a customizable system, so I can remove pages and insert them elsewhere in the book by simply pulling out the sheet. It’s really nice … | Continue reading
🤯I've been having less and less headaches since I got Covid-19 48 days ago. I think it's timely progress! 🩺It's been a bit more than a month since I got the iron infusion for my anemia. I started to feel less tired this weekend, which I think is a sign it’s doing … | Continue reading
So, when I started Rethinking My To Do list this week, I was feeling disconnected. I was craving for something different. I’m not sure why, but I was bored. And I didn’t want to look at my to-do list. So, avoiding it only intensified my disconnection. I thought I needed a new to- … | Continue reading
There’s something going on with how I’m engaging with my To Do list (currently using Nirvana). I’ve been craving for something more interesting. I’ve had this feeling before, and when that happened, I tried out Microsoft To Do but it never stuck with me. I’ve decided to do some … | Continue reading

⚕️ The post-COVID headaches are getting less and less frequent, so that's satisfactory progress! 🎮 I'm still having fun with Stardew Valley. I can play one or two in-game days at a time, no rush, no stress. It's been great as a rote activity that refreshes my brain a litt … | Continue reading
I was sick in the beginning of the month, and I experienced fatigue and headaches for most of it.

I've abandoned the book "Apollo Murders" by Chris Hadfield. I wanted to like it, but it's not growing on me, really. I stopped at 20% which is a fair amount to realize a book isn't resonating with me. Every time I stop reading a book, I feel guilty. I can't stop but wonder "But … | Continue reading
These are some of the things that happened in my life lately: 🐢I feel like I’ve slowed down this week, which is good. After the week with COVID-19 when I was forced to slow down to rest and recover, I want to bring that slowness to my life going forward. That means reall … | Continue reading
Journaling is a habit I started in 2013. I talk more about my initial experience here. For some time, I was doing shorter entries, like “The 5 Minute Journal” style, where I would have a template to write daily on Evernote. That was 2017. It was also the year I moved to Canada … | Continue reading
