heron In this letter, I explore the metaphor of the Heron battle an inner voice of doubt, represented by a croaking frog. I relate this to doing meaningful creative work by outlining principles from Steven Pressfield's “Do the Work.” We must engage with resistance and persist despite the obstacles. Just as the Heron achieves flight through courage and determination, we realise our potential by battling resistance and ship our creative or entrepreneurial work. #coaching#resistance#distraction#journey#letters

The 180 Dollar Chromebook In this personal reflection, I share how Chrome is the new Mac (people just don’t know it yet!), and why I traded my 2000 dollar MacBook for a 180 dollar Chromebook. As someone constantly on the move, I’ve realized that less is truly more when it comes to tech on the road. With cloud computing and lightweight devices, I’ve found freedom in carrying less and doing more. This is my journey of rethinking value and embracing simplicity in a world that often values excess. #journey#itinerant#minimalism#technology#diaries
