Mustafa - an update

I found out yesterday that Mustafa passed away recently. I wrote about Mustafa on this platform. For some reason that post resonated with a lot of people. Maybe it was easy to write about this wonderful person I met over 15 years ago. 

A part of me was afraid to...

Mastery
Design

It was in 2019 that I considered the idea of learning about design. Thanks to Scott Adams and his view on learning the basics of a few subjects. I remember being surprised at seeing design as a skill. It had never occurred to me before.

Subscriptions

I was doing a tally of the subscriptions I pay for while I was doing my taxes. I knew most of the services and made a conscious decision to continue or to stop. The ones that threw me off and I see myself spending more than I am comfortable with...

DISTRUBUTED

I can't believe it.
I can't believe it.

Retrospective
You MUST KILL IT in September.

I wrote those words to myself yesterday. I was trying to plan out what my priorities were for the month. Then it hit me that I have exactly 4 weeks before Oct 3rd. I can't fool around anymore if I can anywhere close to what I intend to get done. ...
