@Ibrahim21700249 @AbsaUganda @Kh3Kampala Thank you!

[Kula Wandi @kulawandi]

Conquered 1 of Kampala’s 7 hills this morning.

Big thanks to @AbsaUganda and @Kh3Kampala for putting on a great run.

After 9 years, 13,962 km, and runs across 4 continents, I’m retiring the Nike Run Club app. It’s been a long run (literally), and I am a bit sad about losing 2,477 runs worth of data, but I’m officially moving over to Strava now.

Independence Day 10K ✅

5K with stunning Rwenzori Mountain views. The 99m elevation gain? Not quite as scenic.

Most people save hard tasks for later, but it's better to tackle them first.

Evidence: Doing difficult tasks early boosts productivity, creativity, helpfulness, and relaxation—especially for early birds.

Starting the day by conquering a challenge elevates energy and efficacy.

“At that moment the power of reading made itself clear and real to me. If I could see the words, then no one could control them or what I got from them.”

Kicking off another year of reading

We learn more from reading on paper than on screens.

54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.
