Writing Well: this this an amazing resource that is written by Julian Shapiro on the art of writing better. It's more of handbook, but also a true gem to have in your toolkit.
How Discord (somewhat accidentally) invented the future of the internet; There’s not much that Discord does that users strictly can’t do elsewhere. On one hand, it’s a lot like Slack, blending public channels with easy side-chats and plenty of ways to rope in the right people. It’s also a bit like Reddit, full of ever-evolving conversations that you can either try to keep up with or just jump into when you log in. (In fact, a lot of popular subreddits now have dedicated Discords, for more real-time chat among Redditors.) It uses simple status indicators to show who’s online and what they’re up to. But by putting all those things together, in a way that felt more like hanging out than doing work, Discord found something remarkable. Everybody talks about the notion of the Third Place, but nobody’s come closer to replicating it online than Discord.You can also join my Discord Server - 🔴Robert’s Simulation; Interested in doing group macro-chats at some point ^_^

Introduction to the Zettelkasten Method; The zettelkasten (German: “slip box”) is a knowledge management and note-taking method used in research and study.
The physiological effects of slow breathing in the healthy humanKey points
Slow breathing practices have gained popularity in the western world due to their claimed health benefits, yet remain relatively untouched by the medical community.
Investigations into the physiological effects of slow breathing have uncovered significant effects on the respiratory, cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory and autonomic nervous systems.
Key findings include effects on respiratory muscle activity, ventilation efficiency, chemoreflex and baroreflex sensitivity, heart rate variability, blood flow dynamics, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, cardiorespiratory coupling, and sympathovagal balance.
There appears to be potential for use of controlled slow breathing techniques as a means of optimising physiological parameters that appear to be associated with health and longevity, and that may extend to disease states; however, there is a dire need for further research into the area.
How to waste your career, one comfortable year at a time
When push comes to shove, companies do what’s best for their business, and you should not feel bad for doing the same.
Data from Tim Ferriss Podcast: For the last few weeks, my team and I have gathered language from all of my recent podcast sponsor reads (which perform well above industry average, based on data from multiple partners) in one place, which also allows us to review what has worked/converted best for different categories of brands. This page shares the end product, which will evolve over time.

ProjectorRecently I discovered Projector (usually use Canva for quick designs); No major difference between the functionality
mobile-friendly design and multi-format eBooks, attempts to make our collection of eBooks available on all devices. Maybe one can start reading the Idiot?
Let me just start wasting your time here.
👽 My latest YouTube video
A 3-hour study with me session where I am working on summarizing my notes, writing for my newsletter, and studying the contents on my website, trying to figure how to improve the content I’m posting whenever I learn something new.
This is my first video having this type of flavor. I also believe that the word ‘studying’ doesn’t necessarily need to have a rigid rope tied to it and that creative people can consider every single tiny opportunity to learn something new as ‘studying’.
Always a student of life.
The video contains chill & relaxing music, lofi hip-hop beats and vibes plus some ambient room noise and my hardcore keyboard button pressing.
Enjoy!
