Gil's week #202036

This week I…

• Skipped last week’s newsletter. I had nothing to write about.
• Have been following Cal Newsport’s work more closely. I know him and his books but I never really read them or applied anything from him. I subscribed to his podcast and I highly recommend it if you are a knowledge worker.
• I also subscribed to Seth Godin’s podcast Akimbo, which I also recommend.
• I got an arm to attach my monitor to the desk, so far, everything is mostly the same on my setup. the best thing was figuring out that my monitor has a headphone plug, this means one fewer cable to detach/attach between my gaming PC and laptop, I just need to remember to set up the sound to come from HDMI. To be clear, I’m still unsure if this was a good idea, it was a bit of a pain to attach the arm to the desk and to the monitor and my cables still look like some sort of nest.

Great sounds

• DOOM Eternal OST Remix (Remastered Soundtrack), I’m still playing Doom eternal and loving it (I think I’m on the last boss now).

Great URLs

• This thread about desk setups made me happy, I love looking at other people’s workspaces.
• Related to the above link, if you don’t know, you should check out usesthis.com, to see how other people get stuff done.

Cheers,

Gil
