Notes
- I Cancelled my Apple Music subscription. It really isn’t worth the money. I rather listen for free to Radio Paradise (no ads!).
- Started using the Vim motions extension in VSCode. It takes some time getting into and I still find myself navigating with the mouse a lot instead of using Vim commands.
- I started Selling lots of stuff I own and rarely/never use, making my desk more minimalistic and free of clutter. My first time selling used things on eBay and it’s nice to not have to deal with haggling people. It’s all automated using auctions or price-requests - no personal interaction needed.
- Using capacities.io as my note taking app now. It’s a German startup, it’s free, it has all the things you need in a note taking app, it’s synced across all devices. No encryption though.
- Drinking enough water is important. I started a daily habit to drink a 2.2 liter bottle of water each day. As additional motivation I force myself to do a 1:30 minute horse-stance each time I fail to finish the bottle.
- Currently trying out Claude Sonnet 3.7 with reasoning mode. It’s great for complex tasks and seems to provide much better responses than the normal quick mode.
