Got myself a TRMNL the other day, which is an e-ink screen that I can set up as a dashboard. The UX is clunky but with a developer account and some frontend elbow grease I managed to make something that I love (and that auto-refreshes the data every 15 minutes).

Slowly getting back into work after my holiday. Because August is always a slow month, I have decided to attempt to dub it the Reflect & Prep Month and see what I can do now to set myself up for a better rest of the year. I’ve been jotting down random work meeting notes for over a year now in the Reflect app and boy is it interesting to throw all that into Gemini and do a yearly review kinda thing with the right questions. It doesn’t have the best batting average but as someone who has always found it difficult to sit down and reflect intentionally on my week/quarter/year, it’s useful enough that I might start note-taking and reflecting more. (Still probably never gonna journal though. I just don’t like hand-writing and navel-gazing on paper that much…)
