Thinking about different ways to exercise daily, and I’ve found that surprisingly enough flying a dual-line kite is a decent upper body workout. Eyeing up something bigger like a Tantrum 220 🤔

Be a Guide, Not a Guru
I really like this framing. Being a “guide” instead of a guru. I’ve been writing up and conceptualizing a lot of content this week for Siren (so, so much content is getting queued) and this framing has been really useful for me. I’ve never been able to quite articulate it as well as this.

The Goal Setting Approach That Actually Works For Me
I’ve historically struggled with setting proper goals in my life. Until I discovered this approach, which seems to be working quite well.

Loving that this second monitor is not only good for couch gaming, but if I’m doing what I call “shallow work”, it’s nice to have a second screen. My little Macbook Air is great on its own, but sometimes I want the extra real-estate. Not too different than my original RV setup, actually.
Eventually I’ll replace this board with something better, but for now, any planar surface will do 😅

I even created my own daily journal template using Figma last night. I based it on my time-budgeting approach, and left plenty of room for bullet journaling so I can get stuff out of my head and keep myself from getting distracted during the oh-so-important deep work timeblock.
Also, I love that I got to add a little Novatorius logo and “You Got This” to the bottom.

I bought a Boox e-ink tablet for bullet journaling, and reading. really loving it so-far. My mind buzzes with RSS feed to ChatGPT to Instapaper Zaps that allow me to create my own curated, and reported newspaper with original links. Another weekend project, it seems.

I’m not confident I can top this setup. It’s basically a wood board on my recliner with a controller, keyboard, portable monitor, all hooked up to my handheld. Basically a Nintendo Switch, but way better.

The biggest thing that AI is changing for me? I want EVERYTHING as a markdown file. It’s portable, easy to read, easy to enhance, and easy to parse, both for me and AI.
Heck, even creating an index of the content is easier than ever with things like ChromaDB.
