What's Up Wednesday #1
This is the first edition of my newsletter! Please reply if you have any feedback!
Planning your life?
📜 "It doesn’t matter how good your plan is. It doesn’t matter how exciting your goals are. It doesn’t matter what a good thinker you are… If you are not responsible and honest, forget it." The 10 Secrets of Success by Bob Bowman (2008) is an article worth reading. Bob coached Michael Phelps and the advice in his speech is great. "Focus your time and money. Don’t let other people or things distract you. If you know where you want to go, then put your resources there."
As I graduated recently I started planning. I now have too many plans and need to select one to commit to and start doing. In the next weeks, I will share some of my progress and plans.

Mac Tipps
💻 Some cool Mac OS Tipps. I especially like dash which provides offline documentation for various programming languages. Some tools I would add to that list:
Tripmode - only allow some apps access to the internet Copied - keep your clipboard history
On blogging

Some cool themes you could use:
