Something I keep using

• Books app on iPhone. It’s good.
• Books app on iPad. It’s OK.
• Goodreader app on iPad. I hate it. I use it for pdf books/documents. The UX is terrible. Though, it’s the sunk cost (I paid for it) maybe that I keep using. If anyone has a really good pdf reader on iPad where I can mark highlights easily, I would love to hear about it.
• Use of my Garmin watch (I have the Fenix 7) to track all my activities. It’s good and has a long battery life (around 2 weeks.) I use none of the non-health features (no notifications, or spotify) I don’t have to think about it compared to Apple watch where I have to charge it every day.

What did I love when I was a kid? I should do more of.

• Lego (the Syrian version.)
• Drawing.
• Visual Basic programming language.
• PC games in an MS-DOS like this Prince of Persia in the 90s when I was a very young kid.

Something I love doing?

I should aim to be at the top 10-20% on two things that I love + highly valuable + rare. Working at the intersections of domains. Being the bridge. Take design + tech. This is very rare to be in 1 person. And I try my best to be at that. Take product + design + tech + AI, this is even more rare. An I’m trying my best to be that in SpatialX.

How can I make my <days, weeks> better?

• Early sleep, early rise. It feels like cheating. Was successful in the last 3 months (apart from Ramadan.)
• I have 1 meal a day. And it’s a struggle to eat late in the day and have a comfortable sleep. Eating this meal early in the day is another struggle for me. But I’m pushing to get this meal earlier by 7pm more often. My sleep definitely improved.

Best buy of the week

A Syrian Madlouka from Levant. If you know, you know.
