Skills in Dia are wild. Preset your recurring prompts once, then just summon them in chat whenever you need. Makes you feel like you’ve got cheat codes for your workflow.
Yep, switching to @diabrowser! Goodby Brave

Tried Framer for the first time and built and launched a site in just a few hours. No Figma, no wireframes, just straight building. Wild how fast you can ship now.

Your surroundings shape your mind as much as your body. Switch up your environment and put health first, you’ll be surprised how much changes.

Recently switched to Brave as I was done with Chrome. But I think Dia has a good chance of becoming my main Browser

You know what has actually disappeared? The support structure to train someone to master the craft. This goes for almost all things. Yes, including engineering and design jobs. Everyone wants masters but no one wants to train apprentices.
Interestingly, this goes for almost all things. Signs/sign painting. Carpentry. Ceramics. Icon design. Everything has been optimized for easy creation, which eroded the main barrier to entry: having to master a craft’s complex tools & methods, which led to better products.

Time-blocking isn’t magic. It’s just a structure that helps you stay consistent and focused. Start small. Adjust as you go.

You don’t need to replicate my schedule exactly. Here’s how to make it work for you: - Identify your peak productivity times. - Group similar tasks together. - Adjust your time blocks until they feel natural.

Why time-blocking works. - Eliminates decision fatigue: I know what to do and when. - Aligns tasks with energy levels. - Builds habits and minimizes procrastination.

Before I end the day, I spend 10 minutes planning for tomorrow: - Review today’s progress. - Set 1–3 priorities for tomorrow. - Block time for those tasks. This routine keeps me clear-headed and focused.

By the afternoon, my energy dips, so I tackle lower-priority tasks like: - Emails - Admin work - Team meetings These tasks don’t require as much creative brainpower but keep the wheels turning.
