I’ve been using these both software to manage my tasks but have seen confusions in the implementation (and the implementation is done by myself!). I have been separating the tasks based on whether they are reoccuring or not, and also simple – which is in Todoist, and conversely whether they are a project and relatively…
One of the top management guys I used to work with, passed away recently. I am not too familiar with him personally but I had some brief encounters during work, and he seemed like a nice guy. Loud and friendly, so he seemed approachable. And in most of the times I dealt with him, he…
I like the feature in iCloud photos, where it reminds what happened on this day, year(s) ago. It showed some cute photos of your loved ones, or a trip you have forgotten about. It also reminded where you were a few years ago, not only in the literal sense, but also figuratively. For example it…
Sometimes when developing product, some company will make a product, and design it later. That sounds funny, but it happens. Especially if the product is simple, or seems simple. Sometimes also, the product development hits a roadblock, so the company have to make a U-turn and go back to the drawing block. I was retelling…
I am quite a proponent of believeing in your own self, thinking that anyone can do whatever they want, if they put enough effor into it. Practice vs talent. Despite the title of this post, I still believe so. The problem I think is that when you believe you can do everything, you start to…
My eldest daughter was teaching her younger sister to read and was explaining it phoenitically. If you don’t know what phonics is, it is pronouncing the letters the way it sounds, not the way it is pronounced. Yeah my explanation sucks. For example you pronounce the letter ‘s’ not ‘ass’, but instead ‘ssss..’ as in…
I went to a client site today which was around 80km from my house. I normally walked to work so it has been a while since I had to drive to anywhere, for work. I did go to the same site last year but it was with another colleague, who did all the driving. Alas,…
The weather was quite nice this past weeks. I would never have understood this before, but I drove around with the windows down last weekend as we went to the beach. Why would I have not understood that? Because in Malaysia, it is blazing hot and you’d be out of your mind (or your air-conditioning…
Muslims in Malaysia go to Friday prayers every week normally wearing a pair of slippers. Occasionally some dishonest person would come with a pair of old slippers, and leave a pair of newer ones. Colloquially known as “kena tibai”, which means got nicked. I think there’s two reasons for this bad behaviour. Firstly is the…
I was in a project management meeting today and inevitably the phrase “working in silo” came up. I was then reminded of the book that I read a few years ago, simply titled Silo. I think Amazon or Netflix has turned it into a movie, but I haven’t seen it. I still remember reading the…
