In no particular order, here are some things which delight me:
Books & Blogs
- Cal Newport’s books and blog
- This man has significantly improved my working life and made me more effective in general.
- I strongly recommend Deep Work and Digital Minimalism. Digital Minimalism was responsible for helping me kick my Reddit and YouTube habit.
- The Coffeehouse Investor
- This book kickstarted my Save For Retirement Like A Motherfucker(tm) plan.
Software
- Sublime Text
- I basically live in a text editor for work, so a great text editor is essential.
- This is some of the best money I’ve ever spent a piece of software.
- Things 3
- What do you get when you combine people who really get good design and engineers? Things 3. That’s what.
- This is easily the best to-do list app that I’ve ever used.
Other
- Tom Bihn
- They make some of the most enjoyable to use travel gear out there.
- I own many products by them and my favorite is their packing cubes.
- GoRuck GR1
- This is the best backpack I’ve ever owned. Hands down. I had no idea I could enjoy using a backpack so much.
