I recently read Atomic Habits by James Clear, and also listened to some process philosophy from Steven West's Philosophize This. One takeaway that I had was on the danger of setting goals. I am trying to build a mindset of 'becoming' or to embrace the journey of the goal rather than really trying to achieve a specific milestone. - I want to reduce/eliminate my alcohol consumption to become a person that doesn't rely…

I and my SO have found that identity based habits work out way better. I recommend it

Can you explain what identity based habits are?

I'm thinking of resigning first thing. I took the Christmas break to mull it over and came to the conclusion that I'm not happy where I am anymore, even if it is comfortable and decent money. Once I'm settled into a new job I'm hoping to get on to the property ladder so I can have my own space. I'd also like to get a bit fitter so if I can find the courage I'll try going to the gym. In the meantime I'll continue with…

Turned in my notice yesterday! It was such a weight off my shoulders once I realized it's what I wanted to do. Good luck to you.

Happy new year!! Everyone. I want to finally get my first job as a developer. I have been trying to transition into tech for the past two years. I have been teaching general and advanced mathematics in high schools here in Nigeria. My goal will be to finally land a programming job in 2022. Anyone hiring or any senior looking to take a valuable junior under his belt I'm open to working, learning and adding great value…

Good luck!

Happy new year, HN!

My goals to 2022 are around the following:

1. Keep the discipline and balance needed to work and study at the same time.

2. Finish the studies that I previously started.

3. Move out of my city to another one.

4. Do not let fear make me not do what I want to do.

I quit my job. My last day is next Friday. I have 2 years' worth of living expenses saved up and the conviction that I'll find a way to make it work. I've spent 2021 developing self-respect and solidifying self-care routines. I started a regular fitness practice, quit alcohol and stimulants, and grew closer to friends and family. Over the holiday period, I've reflected, and realised: I care so much about my body, wha…

Awesome! Thumbs up on the video, it is good [ ]. What software are you using to do the editing/screen recording? [ ] I would personally prefer if it were faster.

Thank you! I'd prefer it to be faster too, I sort of rushed this one out as a POC. The next one will be a tighter.

I used Final Cut Pro, but tbh I didn't like it very much. I'm going to try Premiere next. I recorded it in IntelliJ with the built-in mac screen recorder (QuickTime). I used a plugin for the presentation-mode theme, but I've since got a new computer and I can't remember the name of it right now...
