WRITING

I want to write more. And I always wanted to write book. But I’m just too lazy and not disciplined enough. I don’t even know where to begin. Do Ya’ll think I could write a book, if I start writing one sentence at a time? Like One sentence every two days or so. This would actually be manageable. It would probably be a total mess in terms of structure and coherence, but once I have enough material, I could just restructure it and re-write it. I mean typing something again and just re-aligning words in the end is easier than having a blank page right? … hmmm… guess I should try this idiotic idea… I’ll let you know how it goes.

Rant

Okay so here’s the thing. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion, whatever it might be. But If you are propagating your private political agenda through official channels under the disguise and name of a public entity, you are purposefully misleading people and possibly cast innocent people in a negative light. That’s a dick move. I don’t like that. Especially if you are using my servers and my websites to do it. Maybe I’m partly to blame, because I don’t have the time to read everything that goes online, but I though that that was common sense. And in my defense … I’m very busy and extremely lazy. Why not just get your own website or blog ? To those people who know what I’m talking about: sorry for the weird articles.

Going Paperless in a Digital World

I’m kinda feeling like writing a blog post.

Well that rarely happens…

About 2 years ago I decided to simplify and optimze my life
and thought about how to get rid of my giant pile of unsorted documents.
I took my phone, scanned every piece of paper and destroyed nearly everything.
It took me about 6 months to get rid of all the paperwork and documents.
The only thing remaining was very thin pile of paper with important documents.
I didn’t have to think much about storage and backup since I already got a Synology.
So I just access all my Documents through Synology Drive.
My Plan is to reduce Paperwork and get rid of Paper in general entirely and
as much as possible. I’m aware there are various tools out there that would be better suited
for a paperless office but I’m quite happy with the native Synology Apps,
like Notes, Drive and Calendar. It does everything I want and I have everything
in one place.
Additionally I opened an account with Caya, which is a Scan-Service for your physical Mail.
So basically I made sure that no paper would enter my appartment, while I was getting rid
of what was left.
If you have verything in the cloud and can sift through things on your phone,
you can do your Paperwork on the train or on the couch.
This has the positive effect that you can check off things as soon they arise.
I’m always on top of my todo-list.
In my opinion a scan service is worth the few extra bucks.
The only downside ist that, if you need the originals of somnething, it costs
you an extra 5 bucks to send it to your address. But that happens very rarely.
Seriously going full digital is so worth it.
10/10 would do again.
