I’m definitely going to take a course on time management… just as soon as I can work it into my schedule.

Real talk through, @dbrand's April Fool's joke is a product you can actually purchase (if you're insane)... it's called Touch Grass 😅

I like switching between light and dark mode, but hate it when my wallpaper remains the same.

MacOS has dynamic wallpapers but no way to customize.

So I built one.

Here's a demo of how "ThemedMac" works, and the link to use it for free: https://t.co/arEpJcHhkG

It would be nice if our wallpaper could change with our theme. I'm working on an app that does exactly that.

It's totally free and open-source.

Alright, finally in the 100WPM range. Nice.

[Suraj Chaudhary @SurajCdry]

Yayyyy!!

Finally broke my typing speed record. Now I type at 70 WPM. Check your typing speed on https://t.co/VqDqvK2ukV.

How fast can you type?

[Suraj Chaudhary @SurajCdry]

This took quite some time.

Lesson learned: The growth will not always be linear upwards. Sometimes there will be stagnancy. Keep trying then.

Imagine there was a service that sent you inspiring emails on a regular basis of your choosing, for your specific goals.

Think of this as a reminders app that does more than just remind you; it inspires you.

Would you use it?

@andrewjclare Upgraded from iPhone X to 16 Pro and it has been incredible. I think I maybe enjoying the experience the most because of the leap I took.

How has your experience been @andrewjclare?

I decided to start working on building an app. Then, instead of starting to work on its design or the code, I spent the next full day thinking of a name. Not sure if that was time used well.

[Suraj Chaudhary @SurajCdry]

is there ever a right choice? is there ever a way with no regrets? a way you know is right and really is right?

Dear @arcinternet/@ArcMembership ,

Please bring bookmarks as a feature. Or please add an option to not automatically load all the pinned tabs after reopening Arc.

It is annoying to have to close all the pinned tabs (that I want to use 'someday' in the future) every time.

DSA is hard.

@rnshrutii Good luck, @rnshrutii! You've got this. Just 5-10 minutes every or every other day. In the long run, it's always an upward graph.

Take action. Thoughts are insufficient to manifest the outcomes one desires in life.

[Suraj Chaudhary @SurajCdry]

Focus only on the things that are in your control, not on the things that are not.

Do it consistently, and you will stay ahead of 95% of the people.

[Suraj Chaudhary @SurajCdry]

There are only 2 possibilities for the type of life you can lead:

1. An easy life
2. A hard life

You pick one of those lives by the decisions you make right now.

Pick a life that you'll be proud of. Tiny actions is all it takes, tiny & consistent.

Direct your efforts towards the goals you want to achieve. 👇🏻

While there is no point in wasting a lot of time on simply planning, have a sense of direction gives you purpose to keep going.

[Suraj Chaudhary @SurajCdry]

I had convinced myself that I understood everything I read.
I didn't.❌

Here's how I can now learn anything well: 👇🏻

1. Explain it to others
2. Write about it as if you're explaining it to a newbie

It's the Feynman technique.

When you do this, you recognize what you lack.
