The Art Of Not Asking Why

I’m at about 60% reading Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane 📚. I somehow picked just the right book for Halloween for me.

A note about location “check-ins” in MB:

You might have noticed a couple of locations posts on my blog, like this one, for example. I’m experimenting with OwnYourSwarm, a tool that exports check-ins from Swarm and posts them to my blog.

I’m not happy with it yet, but hopefully soon.

It’s a small thing, almost unnoticeable, but I do have a bit more willpower and the ability to regulate my thoughts. For example, if I’m tired, I will go to bed for a nap, and I don’t play another round of World of Worships first. I believe it’s thanks to the increase in meditations.

I know I’m grumpy this morning, but I think I’m getting tired of Emacs. Every time something doesn’t work, you have to dig in and find the one comma you fat-fingered last night or whatever, and sometimes you just don’t have the time and energy for that.

The problem is, because it’s such a huge part of my workflow, I can’t just let it go and deal with it later when I have the time. When something breaks, it’s like someone just tied my arm behind my back, and there’s a good chance I’ll have extra work later.

I don’t know. Just feel a bit lost about this whole thing.

After not sleeping well a second night, nothing is better than the nice calming noise of a leaf blower 🤪

I’ve had the MacBook Pro M2 for about two months now, connected to power 24/7, with an external screen, keyboard and mouse.

I was worried it will kill the battery, but then I found out it has a battery saving mode.

Today I worked remote for an hour and a half. I thought it will go down from 80% to like 60%, 65% if I’m lucky.

It didn’t go lower than 77%. The Mac used 3% of it’s battery (at 80% when I left home) for 1.5 hours of work. I’m very impressed.
