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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

I Used an Android “Dumbphone” for 7 Days. Here’s How It Went.
Here it is: the follow-up to my previous blog post detailing how I would try to make my full switch to the Android-powered Xiaomi Qin F22 Pro, a quasi-smartphone in a “dumbphone” form factor, for 7 straight days. How did everything go? Day 0 Wait, Day 0? Does this mean I actually went above and…

Transitioning to a “Dumbphone” Part 2!
Deja vu? No, I’ve written about this subject before, but I failed miserably to switch last time. In case anyone forgot, this phone runs Android while featuring the look and feel of a mid-2000s feature phone. It looks like a perfect compromise between wanting to be a digital minimalist while still having a few “smart”…

Pretty, Powerful, Productive: My Obsidian Power User Setup
Personal Knowledge Management (or PKM) is such a useful and vital skill in today’s modern world, and I’m certainly not the first person to centralize the things I do want to track in one convenient, easy-to-navigate place. Of course, I don’t happen to focus everything into the second brain I’ve created (that’s why I also…

Let’s Be Realistic About “Free Money” Apps
A QUICK ASIDE: Just to keep full transparency, I won’t include any affiliate links or sweeping endorsements here. This whole thing is me just trying to detail my view and experience with these sorts of apps. As a result, I get to be as honest and critical as I like. I found myself using an…
