Living The Best Life
I’ve been thinking about how I want to live life and best use my time.
The easiest way to break down life is into categories:
- Relationships
- Work & Finances
- Health
- Learning
- Mental Wellbeing
Over the last half year, I’ve been consumed by work – putting in countless hours, weekends and not drawing a line. I’ve been over indexing on work.
Recently I’ve taken time to balance the life categories, where I’d choose to work late nights or the weekends, I’ve chosen to spend it swimming, hanging out with my partner and friends or just reading.
It sounds so simple, but it has been such a breath of fresh air changing up the routine and nothing seems to have yet suffered in the business.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve even taken some time off as part of a big international work trip across Singapore, Japan and the Maldives.
Combining leisure, hobby and work all together during these trips was amazing and for me personally, is how I’d like to live my life and best use my time. Life is just too short to overindex on just one life category!

Protect Your Digital-Self when Traveling
 |
While I was working and traveling abroad recently, I always make it a habit to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to protect my confidential information when using public networks.
Why would you travel with a suitcase without locks right?
I’ve had plenty of VPN brands looking to sponsor our content and I’ve always declined because I didn’t believe in their product.
But the one I’ve been loving so far and have got behind is ClearVPN 2.
It’s the most intuitive VPN with top tier protocols and encryption (AES-256 of course), no log policy and the user interface is absolutely banging. I’m a sucker for good design.
Whenever I open my laptop, I’ll jump onto ClearVPN 2 and with a couple clicks, secure my browsing to avoid ISP tracking, phishing, identity leaks and things like that. Plus I got to access all my local content back at home without any restrictions!
You download the app and secure your browsing completely free here.

I was lucky enough to fly Singapore Air’s new A350 business class in the couple seat with my partner. We had a little too much food and drinks on the flight.

This is how I’ve been lighting my gaming setup with just one device – the Govee AI Box.

The Trap of Turning a Passion into a Career The other week during a call, we found ourselves discussing passion projects and hobby businesses. It’s easier than ever to chase your passion and it’s also more wanted than ever. Who doesn’t want to make money from what they love doing? We've all heard it before: "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Yet, during the call we both realized our friends or acquaintances who have transformed their passions into successful...
Understanding the AI Hype Let’s talk AI for a moment. Because I feel like it’s so grossly misunderstood and its hype is confusing. If you used Google Translate, Apple Siri or even a robot vacuum cleaner, these are all elements of AI that we know and love. So in fact, you and I have been using AI for a while! It’s not like AI has suddently arrived is becoming the Singularity (a hypothetical future where technological growth becomes uncontrollable). But the trend a decade ago was to hide the AI...
Today’s Newsletter Partnered With CleanMyMacX Why We Should Make Time to Do 'Nothing' It was only a few years ago “hustle culture” was a thing. I admit myself I fell into the toxic hustle culture – you know, the work until you drop and only then do you rest mentality. Now everyone seems to have backflipped and intentional work and work life balance is most important. But it’s clear, science says it’s essential to make time to do nothing. True downtime is not easy to me though. True downtime...
