this is a loosely edited brain dump. less clean, tight, and structured than my usual threshold of self-acceptance for publishing things, but I’m trying not to overthink this and just get it out there. hoping to revisit this 1) when I feel overwhelmed to regain perspective and 2) to clean it up for public consumption.…

formulas, techniques, and howtos don’t work, but they help questions don’t answer, but they help experience don’t satisfy, but they help necessary but not sufficient of course I’m not talking about “how to properly defrost chicken in a microwave” or “how to boil perfect devilled eggs”. things that are predictable and mechanical to a large…
I wish you: the bliss of satisfying any earworm you have are surrounded by people who get your jokes have someone who says “me too!” at your confessions, and really listen get clarity over what your priorities are and own them with minimal second guessing have people who will call you out when you’re being…
I caught myself arguing with reality the other day. I was annoyed that despite having slept for 12 hours in total the day before, and 8+ hours the night before, I still feel exhausted at 12pm. It doesn’t make sense. I thought I have bounced back from the food poisoning. I mean hey all symptoms…

Satu hal yang saya amati: saya lebih nyaman dalam komunikasi empat mata dibanding percakapan dengan jumlah peserta yang lebih dari dua. Entah kenapa saya merasa apa yang saya ingin katakan lebih “nyampe”. Ini terjadi di konteks profesional maupun pertemanan. Saya lebih luwes ketika ngobrol berdua dibanding bahkan tiga orang pun.

So. I’ve been constipated, metaphorically. Haven’t been publishing anything for the past….. 6 months? And it has been causing low-key stress and anxiety, gnawing away. I want to get things out there. I want to ship. It’s not that I haven’t been writing or researching or thinking about anything. It’s just that I haven’t published…
Spent 3 hours reading a couple of books, revisiting clipped notes on Evernotes, and going through the book summaries here. Written some notes, Just going to dump them below. Couple of themes: Eisenhower’s “plan vs planning” remember what General Eisenhower advised us: the planning is far more important than the plan.

(disclaimer: only relevant for anxious overachievers) the stakes are often not that high as you made up in your mind. all the urgent tickets. the projects, complicated, detailed architecting, estimation, request record feasibility checks, comprehensive SOWs. urgent PoCs. sample data bug, getting stuck on a flow, don’t know how to proceed the tasks the fires…
