Hack your life firmware (and other tips and tricks)
summary
Argues that life firmware changes matter more than tips, and shows a concrete stack: Getting Things Done capture/process/review, a three‑column Kanban for work, and Omnifocus for capture; adds mindfulness meditation and occasional coaching to increase attention and emotional distance. Gives concrete failures and fixes: obsessing over a todo‑count (chasing 40/week vs realistic ~30) backfires, nonviolent communication calms repeated code‑changes by a teammate, weekly reviews restore trust in the system and improve presence.
