It's fine if it doesn't happen every day. Don't be obsessed about this stuff. Forgive yourself if you ever behave sub-optimally. You're not a machine, neither should you be one.

Tyranny starts with the best of intentions.

I believe Oliver Burkeman calls it "daily-ish" because it may not be realistic or helpful to force yourself to do it every day. But striving for "daily-ish" is worthwhile.

Interesting. Do you have any examples to share?
mancharface1 · 8 months ago
Agree. I'd love to see an example of this, or read more about it.

It's been something like 5 years with no significant improvement to UX and library management. Loading your library is clunky and slow. Playlists are a nightmare to manage because you can't create any folders or organization.

I'm so annoyed with Spotify, but my library of 5k songs is tied up there, and I'm not a big fan of the alternatives that tend to be missing artists I want. It's so time-consuming to try to collect my own personal library of all this music.

If anyone has suggestions or reccs for ways to migrate from Spotify, I'm open to options.

The desktop app on Mac allows for folder creation. While not looking very hard, I wasn't able to find the same functionality on iOS. Would be a nice addition to iOS if it is not available.

Fiction

I discovered and read Blake Crouch this year

- Dark Matter

- Recursion

- Upgrade

- Pines

I also discovered and read

- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

- Gravity by Tess Gerritsen

- A Man by, At the End of the Matinee Keiichiro Hirano

It's between Recursion and Project Hail Mary for me. I am leaning more towards Recursion.

Non-fiction

I discovered and read the following this year

- Deep Work by Cal Newport

- The Millionaire Fastlane by M.J. DeMarco

- Zero to One by Peter Thiel

- How to Start a Business Without any Money by Rachel Bridge

- Creative Gene by Hideo Kojima

- Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

- The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

- Show Your Work, Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon

- Press Reset by Jason Schreier

I would say Deep Work and Steve Jobs had the biggest impact on me.

Programming

I am learning Elixir using Elixir In Action by Sasa Juric.

Newport's work led me to read 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, which I regularly think about. It's a refreshing read on time management.
