Week Notes – May 20 to June 01 2025
- 🏠 We had gutters installed in our house!
- ✅I had a moment that I was second-guessing my to-do list and then I thought about changing tools again. My idea was to move to MS To Do, but I also wanted to do a full capture minds-sweep before that. Which I did, and that was enough for me to trust my Nirvana lists again. So, the issue was not the tool itself but my (lack of) consistency in clarifying and processing what was in front of me. It was just me skipping my weekly review or letting my inbox pile up. Great reminder to reset instead of reinventing!
- 🔎 It’s been crazy at work again and in weeks like these I really don’t want to look more at computers after I get back home. My evenings are more for exercise, enjoying dinner and reading.
- ✈️ I’m excited to take some days off this month! I have two trips planned!
- 🥈 Me and my partner completed the Run for Women – 10K! It was cold (8C) and there was a slow drizzle during half of the run. We almost gave up, but we stayed and finished it! Note to self: always bring a rain jacket!
- 🙌 I really thought I woudln’t have the energy today to write this week notes post, but, hey, here it is!
📌Around the Internet:
- I Have a YouTube Problem - This post caught my attention, because Matt mentions that he’s used to multitasking: “My workflow has always entailed doing three or four things at once. I'm often editing for work, watching a YouTube video, and reading a book all at the same time. I move my attention from one to another.” He gave up TikTok but started watching more YouTube videos and he’s worried about it.
- I Spent 30 Days in a Dead Game – YouTube - I saw this on Andreas blog. Super interesting how this dead game still has a community around it. It reminded me of the old MUD’s.
- I Came. I Saw. I Regretted Everything. – Musings from a Tangled Mind – I identified myself so much with this post! If you are an introvert, you will understand.
- A Love Letter to Analog Life – Musings from a Tangled Mind – About life before the internet.
- Experimental June – Manu – Manuel is doing a minimal digital inputs month experiment. I’m interested to see how it goes. I like the idea of reading more books and meditating.
- AI is Making You Dumber. Here's Why | Nebula – It’s scary to think about a future where we are all using AI for everything!
A sunny Spring afternoon
