“Thing of the week” is a journal like section where I write about something important from my week worthy enough to be shared. Most of the time it follows the format of Extremely my shit and A good place,
which are the main inspiration behind these series.
Bear
2020-49
I remember Bear was getting popular at the time that Evernote had its first massive pushback.
Someone at Evernote decided that people want more AI in their notes, which unsurprisingly turned out to be wrong and drove some people out of their platform.
How to With John Wilson
2020-48
I’m behind on most of the tv shows I followed before 2020. I don’t have the time and the will to focus on one at the moment.
Stopped Using Facebook
2020-47
I was clearing some links from the hundreds of articles that I have marked as “To Read”. And Somewhere at the end of the marathon, I stumbled upon Facebook’s problems can be solved with design.
Skating in the Night During a Pandemic

2020-44
I discovered this album almost randomly on Twitter(of all places) around the time it was released about 8 years ago.

Getting up from the bed at the earliest hour possible is the pivot of all self-care articles ever written by the self-proclaimed life/productivity hackers on medium.

2020-42
A few years I back I loved to check what font people used for their site, I even had browser extension for this purpose, it could tell me the font just by pointing to the text I was interested in.
Brain Fm
2020-41
Surprise surprise! Another week, another productivity thingy.
I’ve probably read about brain.fm in Engadget because I remember trying it at work for a while, without being that much impressed, although every time I listen to this wonderful track they’ve put for free on YouTube, I think about checking it again.
Forest
2020-40
Here we go, another productivity app.
This week’s thing is an app called Forest, which as kind of popular and I’m late to the party but I just found out how it can help me.
