Gosh, how lucky we are to live in an age where everything we want to know and learn is available on the internet at the tippity-tap of our fingertips?! When I think of all of the questions I used to ask my mum was I was younger and how difficult it must have been for her to get access to the answers she didn’t know compared with how easily we just ‘look things up’ now…

This week, I came across a few really cool and interesting things on the internet. Some of them, sososo helpful, that I couldn’t help but want to share. So, here we are!

Maker’s schedule, manager’s schedule

I’ve spoken about an app I use called Readwise and how fun it is getting these sorts of Post-It Notes from past-me delivered to my inbox each day. In one of those daily digests, there was a piece I’d highlighted mentioning Paul Graham’s Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule. I’d clearly been interested enough to highlight the bit about it in the Kindle book I was reading but, as with all of my highlights, they used to just go to Kindle heaven, never to be seen by me again. Receiving them in my inbox has me much more engaged in them which is how I ended up reading this remarkable essay by Paul Graham.

All of my past work-woes make complete and utter sense now. I fully identify with being a ‘maker’ but my roles have been those of a ‘manager’ and thus the friction I’d experience is brilliantly explained by Paul Graham. Definitely one of those ‘ooooh, that’s why’ moments where I suddenly make more sense to myself.

oh my, comic sans

Now then, I’m a lover of fonts and Comic Sans is not one I’m a fan of. As far as fonts go, Comic Sans gets a lot of flack. But, I’m going to go right ahead and back-track on that because I fell down a research-hole about how helpful Comic Sans is for those with dyslexia and for writers, in general. In the name of research, I have tinkered with it this week and can attest that it does aid writing, especially in that ‘first draft’ stage. Colour me shocked. And, humbled.

Yes, Really: Comic Sans is Making Me a More Productive Writer

Writing “Hacks” – Does Writing in Comic Sans Work?

What You Might Not Know About Comic Sans

Psycho-cybernetics

I kept hearing about this book so I bought it. It’s called Psycho-Cybernetics and it’s written by an ex-cosmetic surgeon called Maxwell Maltz. The premise of the book is how our self-identity impacts absolutely everything we do or don’t do. I’m having to chip away at the book so I can properly process what I’ve just read. It’s, for sure, going to be one of those books which I’ll come back to and which’ll change me. Already, I’m more mindful of my thoughts and of how they often sink into self-berating and ruminating on my perceived mistakes and failings. Maltz explains how to counteract that and why that then adjusts how you see yourself and feel about yourself. My only wish is that I’d found the book sooner.

A CLEVER (FREE) WEBSITE WHICH RECOMMENDS BOOKS

There’s something comforting about having a TBR (to be read) pile of books but sometimes it can be difficult to find books to restock that pile. I stumbled across a website this week ‘What Shall I Read Next?’ which takes the last 10 books you’ve read or any 10 books you want to input, and then recommends reading based on those titles. What’s not to love about that?!

There you have it, the things I found cool or interesting on the internet this week!
