Trivial secrets

Sharing a list of things that are easy to do and make a outlier difference in my life.

Computer-related:

• Use Rectangle for macOS window management
• On Apple Notes, sort by Date Created (found in Settings > Sort notes by)
• Get the Roost Laptop Stand if you work on the laptop a lot
• Use Adaptive Mode for Airpods Pro
• Mute and block when using an algo-app. The algos can't read your mind, so you need to teach it sometimes what you dislike
• Use Raycast on macOS
• Use Notion Calendar
• https://fmhy.net/
• If something doesn't work, try restarting the computer/phone/device

Programming-related:

• Use Ghostty
• Use vocs for documentation
• Just use React
• Write conventional commit messages

Health-related:

• Get lotion tissues when you are sick and need to wipe your nose
• Get a sleep mask (I recommend Slip Contour Sleep Mask)
• Use sunscreen (avoid Bioré, use Anessa)

Learning-related:

• RtK is very effective for learning kanji
• Hire a teacher for anything you want to learn (can save you hundreds of hours, in e.g. avoiding common pitfalls)

Crypto-related:

• Holyheld is a decent crypto debit card
• Use Jupiter and LlamaSwap
• Using Tornado will blacklist your address
