Seven hours. That’s the amount of sleep I need to function… pretty well. It’s way less than how long I would sleep without kids, though.
Add another seven for work, and seven more for family life organization. That’s 21 hours to keep it all running, and leaves up to three hours a day to spend however I want.
That right there. That’s privilege. Prosperity. And when I’m old and wrinkled, I’ll reflect on how I spent those three hours every day.
“Internet providers sell connections by capacity, but the difference between streaming a 4K movie 30 times faster than you can watch it versus five times faster than you can watch it isn’t particularly important.”
Water falling from the sky is great. Seriously. I don’t mind. You do you.
But… what’s the point of doing it for two weeks straight? And why the fuck can’t you stick to your schedule like everybody else!?
Starting a new job as a product designer. Will it be as fulfilling as I hope it to be? Who knows. For now, it feels like the perfect match.
And it will certainly open new doors in the future, in a field I feel so deeply connected to.
The new Live Sticker feature of iOS 17 is just incredible. Finally, having kids (or pets) makes sense again!
Back in my second hometown. Feeling nostalgic.
Living in the old town is something special. You just walk out the door, and everything meaningful is a five-minute stroll away—like locally roasted coffee or homemade pie.
Taking some time off with the kids (5 and 1). Planning and logistics are so crucial to make relaxing holidays actually possible. I don’t think childless couples realize that.
A few more years and it will be much easier. Well, at least the logistics part.
I rely way too much on random peoples cranky opinion.
On this blog, my website and other personal documents, I’m currently using this color palette: a slightly-off white for background, a dark green-black for text and moss-grey for sub-text, and a bright orange for interaction.
I let the orange start with .5 opacity for dynamic/animation. The palette also works in dark mode by flipping ‘text’ and ‘background’ color.
Binge-watching Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad for the… fifth time?
This series is simply incredible. Each and every episode serves a purpose, drives the story, the characters. It is on point. Nuanced.
And don’t get me started on that acting performance. Through and through, lead or support. It’s mind-blowing.
Reviewed and redesigned my personal webpage to a much more minimalistic approach. Pure HTML and CSS.
Reducing clutter and removing features — it’s liberating.
Damn, games can be addictive. Got Slay the Spire+ from Apple Arcade. Spent 12+ hours with it last week, nearly two hours a day. Crazy.
I always try to imagine Adobe’s face realizing that Affinity by Serif is here to stay. Such a comprehensive product, facing one of the biggest digital players with nothing but confidence and quality.
I love to sketch out ideas in Figma. It’s the perfect place to play around and quickly elaborate thoughts.
To stay sane in the age of information, I channel all input with Feedly. Gain insight and inspiration without having to spend 2+ hours a day checking multiple resources is a game changer. Welcome back, RSS!
Our brain is damn powerful and can process information with incredible speed, but one unfinished task can block resources like a Chrome browser.
I declutter my brain with Todoist to allow me to focus on one task at a time and get things done.
