I’ve just moved from my tiny Ikea desk that I bought when lockdowns started to a 120x60cm standing desk (we’ve actually had it for a while but it’s a long story). The extra space is amazing! It’s the difference between feeling like everything was falling on me, and feeling like I can stretch!

End of the work week. Time for my end of week review routine.

I’m really intrigued to see how obsidian properties work. So far I’ve been impressed by the features they add while keeping the simple text file approach.

Ironically, I think I understand why Musk has done this rebrand now. Threads has stolen attention away from Twitter and presented it’s biggest threat to its existence. Musk needs to steal back attention and have something that points to a more positive future. The rebrand focuses attention back on them so even though they aren’t the “one app to rule them all” yet, it gets people to discuss how likely it could be, how good/bad it would be, can musk do it etc, rather than “Will Threads kill Twitter?”

It’s not a terrible move, but the better move would be to make it a place worth going to.

It’s been …I don’t know how many months since I put my account in non active mode and I realise that I’m so much happier and less anxious than back then.

So thanks for ruining twitter, Musk. You’ve improved my mental health.

It’s a Cory Wong kind of afternoon. 🎶

Working from home is great: I don’t have a long commute and get more time with my family.

Working from home is terrible: I feel guilty if I’m not “working” while at home, and there are so many distractions.

I switch through these emotions multiple times a week and day.
