Day 290 - Update on meaningful consumption https://golifelog.com/posts/update-on-meaningful-consumption-1634436984225

Desk and work setup turning out well!

✅ An Ergotune Supreme mesh office chair
✅ A 27" curved monitor from Prism+
✅ A seat cushion from Aliexpress that comes with fans built in. Now considering getting a Moona as a water-cooled seat cushion instead.
✅ A motorized adjustable standing desk, from Squirrey
✅ A Keychron K7 mechanical keyboard
✅ Subscribed to Zoom and Miro
⚠️ A better microphone, speakers, table light and clip on webcam
⛔️ Decided to drop a new desktop iMac and M1 MBP from the list for now. I have everything I need. The monitor

Day 289 - My Twitter way https://golifelog.com/posts/my-twitter-way-1634350204889

Here’s a nicer way to Twitter:

Be real.
Be open.
Be human.
Make friends.
Tweet like talking f2f.
Help someone sometimes.

It’s so face-palmingly simple. Not sure why I took that long to realise that simple truth of Twitter!

Got 4-week streak badge on Dev.to!

Day 288 - Identity-based goals https://golifelog.com/posts/identity-based-goals-1634279678058

Set identity-based goals instead of metric-based goals.

First start off with the identity you want to develop, “a detailed vision of who I want to be/embody”, then come up with the metrics.

Create a table (in Notion, for example) with the identities you want to develop, like “Wealthy Writer / Fit Forever / Connected Coach”. Create subsequent columns for “Traits” – to further describe the identity, and “Metrics” – to measure them by.

My identity-based goals:
• Wealthy Entrepreneur
• Bold Marketer
• Developer Craftsman
• Opportunistic Trickster

Dy 287 - 10× hour https://golifelog.com/posts/10-hour-1634174088920

Apparently, Jeff Bezos would routinely look at his calendar for the last week, and see which blocks can he miss. Which meetings he could have skipped with minimal impact. Which activities he could have dropped to little effect. Week by week, he would remove hours that didn’t matter, and leave behind hours that did. Slowly over the months and years, that practice would optimise his time towards blocks that he shouldn’t miss. Blocks of time that move the needle. Hours that truly matter.

I want my hours to matter.

So, try removing blocks in your calendar and see if anything bad happens. Try not turning up and see what happens. Remove block by block till people start noticing.

What’s the worse that could happen?

If you can accept the consequences; if there’s no major downsides, then DO IT.

Imagine, a calendar where every hour is a 10× hour. Every second moves the needle.

Imagine what you’ll achieve after one year doing that!

Day 286 - Make life unfair https://golifelog.com/posts/make-life-unfair-1634094938487

Life should be fair, on a society level.
But life isn’t fair.
Fairness is not evenly executed.
Stop expecting fairness, on an individual level.
Go make life unfair using your advantages.
