I don’t know! I want to like Obsidian but there’s something pushing me away from it. I keep going back to Standard Notes. Maybe, Standard Notes is my note-taking & note-making app of choice.
Let’s try Rwandan coffee.
Snippet from the Daily Stoic.
Hold yourself to a higher standard but not an impossible one. And forgive yourself if and when you slip up.
An excellent reminder to live the good life.
I have got a 50% discount offer for Skillshare. I’m not sure if I really want it. Any Skillshare users, please advise!
I have taken a break from posting and microblogging for some time now. No reason! Just thought, I needed a break. I’m happy to be back online.
Today, my mind was scattered. I was a bit anxious, thinking about the future and the responsibility it holds for me. It has been 14 months since my father’s passing. I’m slowly learning to accept the Divine Decree of Allah SWT.
In a few days, we will be observing Eid al-Adha. My father used to give to a lot of charitable causes during the month of Hajj. I hope I can continue his charitable work and carry his legacy forward. Ameen.
Getting ready to watch the Parade.
Day 3: Experimental Period Complete. It’s official. I ❤️ Standard Notes.
Day 2: Here’s a photo of a kid who turned out to be AWESOME! True Story!
Day1: Wouldn’t it be cool if we could switch between work, home and chill modes?
Last days of Ramadan. May Allah SWT shower his blessings and mercy upon us all. May He give us the strength and courage to abstain from the bad and increase the love and the ease to implement the good. Ameen.
I’m having so much fun with Pop-It!
I’m planning to experiment with microcasts. Details are yet to figured out. This is so raw and it’s really bad. Haha!
I feel so overwhelmed. When I’m overwhelmed, I do a Mind Sweep. It always calms me down and restores some balance in my life.
I have been MIA but it’s good to be back.
En route to Madurai to drop off my sister’s family for Dubai.
Look at this beauty! I found this phone in the cupboard after many years. I have used this phone in college. Maybe around 2002 or 2003.
How’s everybody doing?
An excellent post on maximising the power of Standard Notes.
Today I went to the GP after an episode of elevated heart rate and numbness in my left hand. Everything is OK and my vitals are back to normal. Apparently, the elevated heart rate could be related to stress & anxiety. No surprises!
It’s pizza night. 🍕
Three simple tips to improve writing:
I’m considering a Spotify Premium subscription. I tried to like Apple Music. I’m kind of disappointed with them for not mining my data to recommend me better playlists. It’s a bit ironic to think this way.
I recently watched Cal Newport’s video on Daily Metrics Tracking for productivity.
If you are someone like me who is good at planning but struggle a bit in execution, then metrics tracking is an awesome tool to skyrocket your productivity.
As a start, Cal recommends tracking three things:
Here’s mine:

On 11th March 2022, I watched Warnie’s documentary on Amazon Prime after hearing about his sudden demise on 4th March 2022.
Shane Warne is a cricketing legend. This man was the Rock Star of Cricket.
When I used to play cricket, I chose Leg Spin because Shane Warne was a leg spinner. The legend is no more but his legacy lives on.
Check this video to experience the King of Spin.
I came to know about this notorious disinformation-spreading far-right group after the Captiol Hill attack on January 6, 2021. Conspirators and Far-Right Extremists like these are allowed to operate freely in the name of free speech. These groups cause mayhem and chaos in our communities. Yet, they will be allowed to operate by the government because they are useful to the politicians for their political gains.
I listened to Finding Q on Audible over the past few days. It’s a riveting investigative journey by journalist Nicky Woolf in his quest to find who is Q? I think Nicky has kind of identified who Q is but what is the use? Even if all this information is shared with the authorities, are they going to take action? I don’t think so!
Finding Q is an excellent production and deserves our attention and praise.
I highly recommend it and encourage you to give it a go.
