- Didn't realize who's blog I'm reading. I was intrigued by the title, being a fan of 'self help' books. I mostly read about productivity (i.e. Feel-Good Productivity is a good one IMO), health, living a balanced life etc. and was expecting to find some a-ha moments in this post. I didn't. It confused me more than anything often talking about 'relationships' as if this is the only self-help kind of book there is.
And I have learnt a ton of lessons from self help books like the one I mentioned above, Arete, "how to make friends and influence people", Atomic Habits and others, without looking to fix any unhappiness, flaws of myself or whatnot. Was just curious what other, more experience people have learned about life that I can learn without having to wait 20-30+ years.
- Hey all, I was struggling with a few things after the pandemic: losing a few pounds, reviving friendships, too much social media, and not creating new fun software projects for myself. One of the things that helped a bunch was inspiration from Ali Abdaal’s book Feel Good Productivity to think about doing a few daily side quests. Side quests (in my words) being tasks that really don’t matter. They’re just fun. No one is going to get in trouble or lose their job if they don’t do them. They aren’t my todo lists or work backlog. They’re just incremental things that take a few minutes of time and cause zero stress. They aren’t goals. They don’t have success criteria other than “done”. It’s “spend 5 minutes looking up on Yelp a place with less saturated fat”. It’s not “do p90x”. It’s not “have lunch with Adam”; it’s “text Adam about lunch”. If he texts back, great. If he doesn’t, oh well. My side quest is done.
Was just using a note for my side quests which works fine but thought it would be more fun to make an app tracking my side quest streaks and use it to celebrate the experience. My daughter and I named it Tres Cosas. (For 3 things. We have some ridiculous Duolingo Spanish streak :) ) and it’s on the iOS App Store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tres-cosas/id6479173827
It’s my first solo iOS release. So I have plenty of questions for you all about what you’d improve or do next with it. Please share how you’ve built projects like these and what worked and didn’t. And does Tres Cosas even seem like something you’d use? Would love to hear from you.
- Fiction: some more novels in Steven Erikson & Ian C Esslemont's Malazan Empire universe. These two produce some of the best fantasy I've ever read, and I've read a fuckton.
Non-fiction: A System for Writing by Bob Doto was pretty good. Also gave Feel-Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal a chance, but found it to be uninspiring, self-aggrandising drivel.
