February is ending and I’m marching into my birthday month tomorrow!
There are certain things happening in the world that demonstrates hypocrisy, betrayal and outright double standards from the world’s superpowers. Civilians are always the victims for their leader’s hunger for power, control and significance.
I think I’m in love with Apple Fitness+. Apple One Premium, not so much.
It’s very calm out there. Storm Eunice, where are you?
After the Storm.
My new favourite capture tool.
As an avid GTD practitioner, I wanted an excellent capture tool. Stumbled on Capture Wallet few months back. I was debating whether to go for it or not. Finally, purchased it on 2nd February 2022 and got it delivered today. I’m really excited to use this Capture tool because nothing beats pen & paper.
All-new Kindle Paperwhite Gen 11. I went for the basic model. 8GB with Ads. I don’t like Amazon forcing people to pay up £20 to remove ads.
Currently reading: In the Hands of the Taliban by Yvonne Ridley 📚
Currently reading: The Muslim Marriage Guide by Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood 📚
Kindle Paperwhite Gen 11 is very tempting. I ordered it. Now, I have cancelled my order after realising the Dark Mode feature in my Kindle Paperwhite Gen 10.
Finished reading: Making It All Work by David Allen 📚
In few days, I’m going back to review my marginalia and share my notes. It’s a brilliant on gaining Control and Perspective of one’s life. If Getting Things Done is the manual for the methodology. Then, I think this book will give you the “why” behind each step of the GTD workflow.
I have been playing with Racket for quite some time to get comfortable with my microcast voice.
Yesterday I struggled a bit with a stuffy nose and mild cough every now and then. Today, I decided to take the Lateral Flow test. I’m glad it’s negative.
To all the people who loved Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks, enjoy this conversation on embracing our limitations.
Today I learned, Kneau Reeves is Canadian. I am elated! God Bless Canada!
You guys have some the coolest people of Earth except Justin Bieber.
I have had trouble charging my Apple Watch using the third-party charging cable for the past few days. But, using the official charger seems to be OK.
It turns out the latest WatchOS update is causing this issue. These are the times I’m annoyed with Apple. Bad Apple!
Well, this seems like a typical Tory MP argument.

One of my favourites! One can’t go wrong with a Parker Jotter.
My Todoist is up for renewal on 15th Jan. I’m torn between Microsoft To-Do and NirvanaHQ.
Here’s my Wordle. What does this mean? 😭
I kind of like it though. 🙈

Three good things from 10th January 2022:
I received Richard Farleigh’s Taming the Lion book. I wanted to relearn and restart my investing practice. Richard was a former Dragon in BBC Dragon’s Den show and a successful hedge fund manager. This purchase was a no-brainer for £4.
I finished the third run of week 2 from the C25K program. I felt pretty good.
I’m listening to The Art of Rest by Claudia Hammond audiobook borrowed from our local library. I’m enjoying the book so far. I realised that I can pair listening to audiobooks and my workout sessions to get more reading done in 2022.
Some thoughts on a Zoom ad regarding “protecting yourself from the dangers of the outdoors”.
Three good things from 9th January 2022:
I continued to read the Making It All Work. It’s a fascinating read. One thing that stuck with me today is customising my next-actions list. Since I’m working from home mostly, I have combined my At-Computer, At-Home & At-Office lists into the At-Home list.
I went for a good 45-minute walk on the treadmill. It felt good.
I have refreshed my Todoist setup for 2022. It’s clean and streamlined to slowly deploy my GTD system. No matter how many different task manager apps I try, I always come back to Todoist.
Three good things from 8th January 2022:
We went for our weekly shopping later in the evening. I saw Rhubarb. I like Rhubarb cake but who is going to bake it?
I enjoyed doing the leg exercises. Never skip leg day.
I finished watching Mr. Iglesias series on Netflix. I enjoyed it. Gabriel is a comedy king.
