Knowing your weaknesses is important.
My biggest weakness I think is not being able to give time to my loved ones because of the day to day activities that I am engaged in.
I often get busy with my day to day tasks and hobbies and I am not able to devote my time to my friends or family. Also sometimes I get frustrated because of the work that I am engaged in.
Speaking Out our thoughts is important.
I have always been interested in public speaking and I thought why don't I take this skill to a digital platform. So that was the time when I started recording podcasts and started sharing my thoughts with people.
I needed the approval of several platforms in order to make a wider audience hear the episodes that I recorded.
Slowly I started to achieve this goal and today my podcast is being heard on several platforms and countries, I have slowly started to monetize this podcast and more and more people are connecting with me regarding my podcast every day!
Concentrate!
Musings on mastery by Jonathan Rowson. Thoughtful article about the game of chess and the art of concentration.
In chess, concentration usually unfolds in quick succession through perceiving, desiring and searching. But it’s recursive, so I often find something I didn’t expect in a way that leads me to see my position differently and want something else from it. My perception is pre-patterned through years of experience, so I don’t see one square or piece at a time. Instead, I see the whole position as a situation featuring relationships between pieces in familiar strategic contexts; a castled king, a fianchettoed bishop, a misplaced knight, an isolated pawn; it’s a kind of conceptual grammar. The meaning of the position is embedded in those patterns, partly revealed and partly concealed, and my search to do the right thing feels fundamentally aesthetic in nature.
Design Tools Survey 2020.
Comprehensive list of design tools in use this year. No surprise to see Figma coming out on top.
Music for the year.
Most days in 2020 I added one or two tracks to this playlist. Mixture of chillout, jazz, hip hop and dance.

Handling Short And Long Content In CSS.
Great piece by Ahmad Shadeed on handling content with CSS. It’s easy to fall into the trap of only designing for those “perfect” states with the ideal amount of content. Reminder that those states rarely exist in the real world.
In the beginning.
Have to start somewhere, right? This ‘work in progress’ is inspired by Brian Lovin’s site and nifty use of a personal timeline. Seems like a great way to keep track and share the odds and ends I come across on the internet, interspersed with some random work. It’s also refreshing to have complete ownership over this, and not rely on yet another social network. Enjoy
