Week of August 29, 2022

Weirdo's Weekly Update — 29 August, 2022

The team reflects on protecting personal time as digital nomads, recommending OKRs and habits as key systems for maintaining productivity. Notion is highlighted as the tool of the week, and two new articles on cold staking with hardware wallets are published.

Something to Think About

The update opens with two philosophical quotes. The first attributes to Friedrich Nietzsche: "those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music." The second reflects that "life is an endless series of interruptions and distractions," often involving people.

The main theme emphasizes protecting personal time as an entrepreneur or digital nomad. The author notes that remote workers face unique challenges because people often assume their schedules are more flexible than traditional 9-5 jobs. Without intentional systems and habits, progress suffers. The piece recommends utilizing OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and developing strong habits to maintain momentum, directing readers to their ultimate OKR guide.

Tool of the Week

Notion is highlighted as an essential productivity tool. The author uses it for notes, databases, performance boards, calendars, and crypto dashboards. The team relies on it for alignment and task management across their small organization.

Current Habits

  • Duolingo: 491-day streak
  • Headspace: 485-day streak

The team is exploring Thai language learning apps since Duolingo doesn't support that language. They've identified Drops as a promising alternative for language acquisition.

Content of the Week

Two articles about cold staking were published:

  1. "Cold Staking - How to stake your crypto coins with BitBox02 Hardware Wallet"
  2. "Is it possible to stake your coins with Ngrave Zero Hardware Wallet?"
