  • meditation apps

    Every day, I meditate for around 30 minutes. I have an app to track my mindfulness minutes that has a neat feature: every X minutes it vibrates on my Apple Watch, reminding me to stay in the meditation. This seemed like a useful feature, and it helped me quite a few times staying focused into…

  • reinforce

    Skipping habits is very similar to lies in the sense that if you start skipping one habit, it’ll become easier to skip the next one, and so on. Just like lies, a little lie can become the norm and it grows bigger every day. Habits are reinforced when we don’t skip them. They grow stronger…

  • to grow

    You have many ways to grow as a human, to learn kindness, hospitality. To learn welcoming people and understanding their struggles. You can read books. Ton of books. Or watch TV shows, there are so many of them. Or you could have some bad luck. Yes, because if we’re open-minded, it’s when something goes really…

  • be ok

    When will you be ok with your results, your performance, your achievements?I was thinking a few days ago about the fact that in sales there’s hardly a moment when people can say “Ok, we have enough money, let’s pause”: But if you think about it, will that time ever come? No. In every piece of…

  • look stupid

    Have you ever tried something that looks stupid?  I did, but every time there’s something that’s holding me off. What will they think of me, how will I look, what will they say? But, on the other hand, they reinforce us. They make us stronger. Because we all know that we shouldn’t care too much…

  • what if you could just write

    I just read the new OpenAI API Plugin spec and everything felt old for a moment. The whole idea that a program can figure out how to integrate with an API based only on make every API integration feel outdated.  The whole idea of letting a program do the heavy lifting and figuring out how…

  • some days

    There is not such thing as a repeatable perfect day. If you’re working out, you’ll see that some days are different from others, than on some days you need to slow down and accept your limits. Show up, do the work, and try again another day.

  • meditate

    One thing I recently realized (again) is the importance of meditation as a way to self-care and mental hygiene. I started meditating every morning for a couple of months, and even though I mostly fail my meditation each day (meaning the goal of focusing on my breath for 30 minutes is not something I ever…

  • magnet

    It’s curious how the smartphone, even if used slightly, can sometimes make you dumb. If you think about it, when you use a smartphone for playing, navigating socials, etc, the relatively smaller screen forces you to entirely focus your attention on it. An extreme focus that looks and works like a magnet and that clears…

  • a broken chain

    I may have touched on this topic already in multiple articles, but since layoffs continue in our time, it’s worth discussing it again. Whenever I look at all the announcements of layoffs I see perfectly crafted words to send a message that the company is healthy, that we’re doing it for the good, that we…
