Weekly Review – Impact of @1Password, Typography and @BrainCutlery Manifesto

In personal terms, some big things happened last week, I’ve bought my tickets for USA, and now it’s a flight waiting game. As I make my move, I believe it will have a dramatic impact on my work, my style and even topics that I write here. Health wise I felt dramatically better, so I’ve [...]

The RSS replacement

It’s been a while since the Google announced the murder of Reader. And for the past two months I was waiting for a replacement that would be worthy of my attention. But than I’ve reconsidered majorly how I started using RSS lately, and the same way as Podcasts, they were mostly read on iPhone. Downsizing, [...]

Slightly different publishing approach

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of blogs like Daring Fireball and Brooks Review, and often I’ve found myself having a desire to write short articles in bursts and just hit publish. For a long while, this simply was not possible on iOS. Also I’ve found Mars Edit bookmarklet quite useful in sharing thoughts and [...]

Impact of @1password on my @Evernote and @Lastpass usage

Keeping your information secure is important factor in our daily lives. For a long while I’ve kept a lot of my important private information hidden inside of Evernote. And never have I been confident in it, I knew it was not a safe solution, but I took the risk. As the time goes by, and [...]

But you still don’t have a clear idea where to start your productivity journey. I was thinking hard about where to send of a person [...]

Fallacy of systems thinking and reversing the productivity game

The problem with productivity enthusiasts these days, is that they will pay more attention to the hacks and tricks, than doing the actual work. We’ve created this “work masturbation” environment, where doing it better is more important than doing it at all. The problem lies with the saturation of the marketers in the field. They [...]

Weekly Review – Nano Workouts, Nootropics and some personal finance

For the past week we had extended Holiday, one that made me appreciate the value of free time. Perhaps this daily 9 to 5 grind is a good lesson, showing me how much tired I actually got for a past 6 months working and living in a routine. As a result of a Holiday, I [...]

The Alchemy of Dreams On my Road To USA

The road to USA I’m scared, scared shitless. The new country, where I don’t know how to move around and crossing the whole oceans. Where tons of things are happening, and I yet have to win my place. Seems like science fiction to me. Alchemy of dreams into reality It’s hard when you have a [...]
