My day in Ramadan

Ramadan Mubarak everyone! Ramadan started on Monday and it's the best month of the year for me.

  • 8:30: Wake up. Later than usual.
  • 17:30: Wrap up work.
  • 18:00: Break the fast with a small portion. That is a couple of dates, full glass of [warm] water, yoghurt/cottage cheese with olive oil and walnut. I take supplements after that: Omega 3 pill, D3 supplements, Glucosamine (for the knee)
  • 19:00: Go for a run or Gym for an hour.
  • 21:30: Eat my main portion.
  • 11:00: Pray Taraweeh and read the Quran.
  • 12:00: Have Suhoor with couple of fruits + yoghurt.
  • 12:30: Sleep.

Something I’m remembering from the past

I can’t ever repay my mother and my father.

Something I succeeded at recently

Playing to an engineer strengths not to his/her weaknesses.

People I look up to

  • Nassim Taleb, NNT
  • David Hansson, DHH
  • Andrew Huberman
  • Tim Ferriss
  • A real Arab literate. Still searching.

Say thanks for 1 person.

People who I built my first startup Almeta and later Alphazed with. Thanks all. You're absolute champs.

People I love

People who make me laugh when I'm crying.

Salam, peace.
