There is some good news because of this, I’ve started to spend more time reading, doodling, eating, and […]

Turning 29 and other things in June

Continuing my habit building for reading, I’ve been making steady progress reading books and listening to audiobooks. This month, I finished up 3 books and […]
April showers bring May flowers
This post is just a summary of my month of April. I was in a lull at the beginning of the month but I started to get more aware of myself and started reading, writing, and doing things to get myself out of that initial lull. Books I finished listening to At Home by Bill […]

Being unaware of an economic depression
I’m in Mexico City right now but I can’t keep my mind off of Venezuela. Mexico City is beautiful, food is great, and people are nice but every bit of time I get where I have some time with my phone, I’m reading about what’s going on in Venezuela. Until earlier this week, I was […]
Trying out a new workflow for personal projects
I don’t have any serious personal projects right now because I usually start something small like the following few: Go shortener Coins And after starting them, I realize that I got them done in a short spurt of energy but they are not projects I have much consistency with that I will actually keep up […]
Goal setting for 2019
I wanted to talk about setting New Years resolutions and goals in general. I’ve had a realization in the past few years of setting goals and acting on them. Goals that have measurable metrics like weight lost in pounds or number of books read are easy to track but pretty linear. By that I mean, […]
