Spent all day migrating my websites from one hosting service to another coz I didn’t want to renew my subscription

Took very longer than I hoped it would, but we’re back!

I’ve been trying to sit still and find true acceptance within myself

But the most effective way to acceptance is by doing the things you know you should

I feel so much nicer every day I got to the gym. Not because I need to look a certain way, but because I’ve done the thing I know is good for me

Uhhh, why is one cell in mm/dd/yyyy and the other cell a text string when all I added was yyyy-mm-dd 😩

My brain is an idea generating beast when I desperately want to fall back asleep at 1am.

All very exciting ideas that I will implement, but let me sleep, dude 🧠

Man i stress too much before i speak up what’s on my mind. Practicing self acceptance starting with just speaking my mind.

Dear diary, it’s day 1

Just done with 4 days in Porto 🇵🇹

Much needed break after back to back work travel, language test prep, and job change

Now time to refocus on side hustle! 👨🏽‍💻

i was working on a teammate's promotion feedback last week and was surprised how difficult it felt to put together a paragraph without relying on AI

i got so used to giving AI some bullet points to generate a structured narrative.

i feel like my skill of long-form writing is slipping away

I’ve always thought I wasn’t the creative type, but working on UI updates taught me otherwise

Creativity is often just a series of small, thoughtful decisions

You keep changing colours, styles, and layouts - and suddenly it clicks

i love shopping at local small businesses!

bought a plum liquor from a local distillery and selected in-store pickup as i wanted it today

the owner called within an hour. told me he didn't want me to drive an hour and that he can drop it off himself this evening 🥂

just pure focus time to sit down and write strategies for next year

and as the rest start coming back to work, take off in the first weeks of january ☺️

idk who needs to hear this, but

SELL. YOUR. WORK.

i know you’ve been told to be humble and let the work speak for itself

but it is completely okay (and necessary) to share your work and achievements

Has any email tool actually solved the spam problem?

If I could never have to see, delete, or unsubscribe from an unsolicited email again, I'd consider switching away from Gmail.
