The Day I Became A DJ

The brain is a funny dude. It is scientifically proven that it always tries to save it from everything. And that is why lots of people find themselves sitting in the comfort zone for a long time. I believe it is important to push yourself out of that zone if you are looking for some real personal growth and life improvement.

Music I Like

The weird thing I found is that I listen to lots of different music styles. Currently, I listen tons of minimal techno because I'm improving my DJ skills. But in my everyday Spotify playlist, I have grime, hip-hop, alternative, hardcore, punk rock, metalcore, dnb, pop rock. I don't know how it actually works but I have a certain gut feeling of good music and I just follow it.

Videos I Like

Here I have a list of videos I recommend watching and do personally re-watch some of them because of the great value they have. Enjoy!

Building a Second Brain

Hey, Just wanted to let you know that I'm starting my second brain experiment. It is always to implement new tools but I see a lot of value in that particular methodology. It is also backed by Ali Abdaal, Tiago Forte, and other smart people. This post is also a manifesto to keep me accountable. It is like that: either I publish updates, and you know I'm making the progress, or I'm not writing anything, and you can throw me with tomatoes.

People I Follow

I have a university degree but I can't tell it contributed to my professional life somehow. Instead, I found that I'm a constant learner at the University of YouTube. A lot of people sharing their knowledge and I'm absolutely grateful to them because that information brought me to the place where I am. Now, I'm sharing their links so that other people could learn something new:

Books I Like

Here's a list of books I read and that affected my life or thoughts in any way. I wish I can share my notes like cool guys like Ali Abdaal do so let's see what happens next. Now it is just a list of books I highly recommend to read.

My Favourite Gear

As a tech nerd, I'm always looking for the tools and apps that will make my work and life more productive or comfortable. No surprise as I spend 16 hours in front of my laptop.
