Life in Progress
I'm super stressed at the moment, and I haven't felt like I've had time to do a bunch of my tracking or daily check-ins, so I've just kind of dropped the ball a lot for about two weeks now (but more heavily
I write this post directly after finishing the session with Anne-Laure Le Cunff from the Spark Summit 2026 with Ali Abdaal. In the session, we ran through how to set up our own tiny experiments. Here are mine. I will block YouTube during work hours in January I've

The final instalment of my 2025 Productivity Stack series. I know, you’re absolutely crestfallen 😔, but I’ve saved the best till last 😉 This section covers the miscellaneous apps that don't belong in the main categories from the previous lists, but are just as essential to my setup.

Meditation on softness
On a random Monday, I decided to record my day as a last-minute thing. I love watching 'Day in the Life' videos (although this is just my working day)
I've never had a performance review, so I decided to create my own. Feel free to copy the content on this page and fill out your own!
A confession about AI, writing, and fear.
Maybe this one should have stayed in the journal...
I listen to Spotify playlists all day while I work. So I thought I'd share the playlists I've found – this is mostly made for myself to come back to!
