  • News apps, RSS feeds and online communities.

    Apple News is decent in that you can pick and choose your interests and hide certain news sources. Associated Press AP News app is great too. I’m in Canada so I also have the CBC and CTV apps. For RSS, I use Feedly app. It has a good discovery mechanism but most the time I manually add urls of sites I want to follow.

    Other than that, I get shared links in different slack workspaces and discord servers.



  • I went down the rabbit hole of stoicism 15 years ago when I had a lot of existential anxiety and while it didn’t miraculously help, it really did nudge me into a new path over time.

    Small things like not focussing on happiness as a goal, having a momento mori around and taking the time to stop and think about its meaning when I’m overthinking. Doing the negative visualizations on rough days.

    It’s more than a philosophy. It’s a good self help tool to have in your tool belt.
