This is my «Now Page», describing what is happening in my life at the moment:
Last updated on 21.11.2024 from my cozy home in Zurich
Projects I am working on
- Reading a lot. I’m always reading two books at a time. A fiction book for fun and before bed, and a non-fiction book to learn something where I also take notes and write book summaries (which I then publish on this blog).
- Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) with Obsidian. Figured out a good system to use and now I am using it almost daily to manage most of my life and to capture and develop my thoughts. Feels really nice to have a reliable system where I can just offload whatever I have on my mind. A lot of mental capacity is freed for me by using Obsidian. Maybe I will make a blog post or YouTube video about how I use Obsidian, as I think it could be beneficial for others.
- Working on a small website to help me cook easy and healthy meals. Still needs a good name… –> GitHub
- Sports! Trying to get back in shape by doing regular home workouts and running as well as playing Badminton and Padel with my friends. No crazy workout plans (yet), just trying to make it a habit at the moment.
