  • 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

  • Notebook Nomenclature: Naming and Archiving Journals

    Notebook Nomenclature: Naming and Archiving Journals

    Essentially, this was spurred just a few days back when I went through my closet and found a box of all my old notebooks. I was writing down ideas and tracking habits in them well before I was ever aware the bullet journal was really a “thing.” It was only early 2022 when I actually… Read more

  • How (and Why) I Carry a Pocket Notebook WITH My Bullet Journal

    How (and Why) I Carry a Pocket Notebook WITH My Bullet Journal

    Ever since I start to bullet journal regularly with an A5-sized (read: the “standard” size) notebook for a bullet journal, I had switched away from pocket-sized notebooks I used to use for my to-dos and other reminders. As anyone can guess, the major difference between my pre and post-bullet journal notebooks includes how much easier… Read more

  • A Quick Update on the 5 AM Club

    A Quick Update on the 5 AM Club

    This is yet another quick update, as I have been busy with a few things as of late. It also doesn’t help that I got sick with the common cold for the first time in a while. As a result, this is going to be more of an off-the-cuff update. Specifically, I’m going to talk… Read more

  • I Tried Joining the 5 AM Club this Past Week.

    I Tried Joining the 5 AM Club this Past Week.

    Welcome to the Sudo Science Book Club! I’m not sure if I’m going to make this a regular thing or not, but I do like the idea. We’ll see how this goes first. I finished reading The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma just a few weeks ago and think I got much more out… Read more

  • Updates Involving Brave and Uphold

    Updates Involving Brave and Uphold

    Here’s another short entry, although this time it’s going to be a brief follow-up regarding my attempts to get help from both Brave Support and the Uphold Team. I’m Back On Brave! I kid you not, but less than 30 minutes after my post on why I stopped using Brave went up, Brave Support actually… Read more

  • Make YouTube Less Annoying

    Make YouTube Less Annoying

    Like many others, I like YouTube. I recall when the site was brand new in the 2000s and unlike anything we had ever seen before. You could easily upload videos to the site and watch videos from other uploaders from all over the world. I know it seems so commonplace now, but it really was… Read more

  • I Only Used Brave for 5 Days. Here’s Why.

    I Only Used Brave for 5 Days. Here’s Why.

    It’s exactly as the title says; I switched to Brave Browser for only five days for my regular browsing. I originally wrote about how I planned to switch for seven days, and I tried my best to take full advantage of the browser. Sadly, I ran into persistent, grating snags repeatedly, so I eventually gave… Read more

  • 5 Fantastic Lightweight Distros to Run on Old Hardware

    5 Fantastic Lightweight Distros to Run on Old Hardware

    I recently dug up a ThinkPad T61 that was given to me a very long time ago by a friend who, at that time, was moving to another house across town. The laptop is rather usable overall, but it’s still starting to show signs of aging. It also made me stop and consider something. What… Read more
