• New Year, New Second Brain?

    New Year, New Second Brain?

    A new year is at hand! As the autumn ended and the winter arrived, I’ve continued using my three biggest productivity tools in tandem with one another: my bullet journal, second brain, and pocket notebook (which I will refer to here as a memo book to distinguish it from a “full-sized” notebook). Still, when I Read more

  • How I Started Building A Second Brain

    How I Started Building A Second Brain

    Welcome back to the Sudo Science Book Club! In this series of posts, I take a closer look at noteworthy books (usually self-improvement) and break down what I’ve learned and implemented from them. For the previous (and first) post in this budding series, take a look at when I joined the 5 AM Club. Although Read more

    Cool-Retro-Term Lives Up to Its Name

    I don’t normally switch terminal emulators often. I stuck with Alacritty for the longest time and just months ago switched over to Kitty for the first time, sure, and I’ve been extremely happy with it, but I know my list of options for terminal emulators on Linux is far and wide like an ocean of Read more

  • My NaNoWriMo 2023 Results

    My NaNoWriMo 2023 Results

    Mission accomplished. I wrote a while back about how excited I was about NaNoWriMo this November, especially with how I’ve been doing with my very own morning routine through the 5 AM Club. Since I’m a member, I decided to dedicate my growth time (5:40 to 6 AM) all month to writing my novel. “Even Read more

    Using AI To Revive Your Old Wallpapers

    I’ve been rather busy as of late with NaNoWriMo, and I’m happy to report I’ve been writing daily consistently. I’ve left my other growth-related goals on hold since October, but I feel it’s well worth the trouble, as I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the novel I’ve been drafting. Still, I wanted to Read more

  • An Android User Switched to His First iPhone for a Year

    An Android User Switched to His First iPhone for a Year

    I’ve been meaning to write this for a long time now, especially since I’ve had the past few years at this point to reflect on how everything has been since then. In fact, I could argue that writing this personal retrospective now makes me more objective than if I had just switched back to an Read more

  • My First Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo

    My First Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo

    Halloween has come and gone, and November is here. More importantly, that means National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short) has finally arrived. It may surprise some readers to learn that I’m no stranger to writing my own novels. While I’m not published (yet), my first novel remains something I finished drafting during 2020’s lockdowns Read more

  • Super Speed Rapid Logging with Symbols

    Super Speed Rapid Logging with Symbols

    I finished my memo book from a somewhat recent blog post a while back. To summarize that post, I was unsure how to get the best use out of a pocket-sized notebook to compliment my bullet journal until I saw a YouTuber who gave me an amazing idea on how to do so. Two weeks Read more

  • Why I Stopped Using My Second Brain (and What I Did to Fix It)

    Why I Stopped Using My Second Brain (and What I Did to Fix It)

    I haven’t been updating as much as I normally would have, but I can assure I’m not dead, thankfully. Rather, I’ve only been busy with a few other obligations as of late, and those have eaten up my time I would otherwise use for writing here. But despite my recent attempts at time blocking, I Read more

  • I Started Time Blocking With Minimal Effort

    I Started Time Blocking With Minimal Effort

    I know I’ve been updating a little less often than usual lately, and that’s in part because of how life has been busier than ever for me. It’s gotten to the point where even my days off feel like a constant rush of work to get more and more done off a never-ending list of Read more
