Simple.

Hi, I'm Kia. Lover of all things simple. After my career in tech for the past 35 years, I’ve noticed a trend where ‘leaders’ and ‘managers’ shoe horn technology where it’s not needed. I decided to leave the bubble to live a simpler life. And share my experience so maybe you can achieve the same level of calm I’ve come to enjoy. The transition for me hasn’t been easy. It’s been one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. But I was willing to sacrifice.https://kiakamgar.com

Letting go is hard 09.06.2022

It’s always nice to keep an old t-shirt or even an old bag, but to keep software or hardware you use o a daily basis just because you’ve used it for years isn’t always a good idea.

Boost your productivity with constraints 06.06.2022

Don’t fear failure 02.06.2022

Failing at something is never a sign of a bad decision. It’s more of a success story than you might think. Failing often is more of a sign of your willingness to learn from those failures.

Road to simplicity 01.06.2022

We have too much stuff. We don't understand why. We just need to find a way to have less and enjoy our lives.

Friday Fury: Just ship it 07.01.2022

Is it just me? Am I being oversensitive? I don't think so. Why should SaaS companies get away with releasing software and apps under the guise of; 'just ship it', when there are bugs and features missing?!

Stop the complexity 06.01.2022

We seem to relish complexity. We understand that it’s harmful to us and eats into the finite time we have. But we still pursue this elusive thing called complexity for some reason. Why is that?

The simpler the better 05.01.2022

We all long for simplicity, but we often don't realise what that means. We're inundated with companies and people telling us their version of simplicity only to find they're talking about complexity, not simplicity.

Solution to a problem 04.01.2022

Be the architect, not the builder. This is something I heard a while back and stuck with me. There's nothing wrong with being a builder, but sometimes one's mind is more geared towards finding solutions rather than building them.

Show, don’t tell 03.01.2022

Sharing what we plan to do can be more detrimental to our plan than we realise. We often don't get to do everything we plan out, especially in a new year, so showing and doing what we want, and failing, is better than dreaming of what we wish to do.

Friday Fury with Adrian Oprea 24.12.2021

Fake gurus. Snake oil salesmen. And even non-expert financial advice. No, that's now what we’re doing. That's what we’re calling out. And in this Friday Fury, my last film of the year, I wanted it to be unique. So I enlisted a good friend, who I met on LinkedIn, Adrian Oprea, to join us as we wave farewell to the charlatans of 2021. Watch the video: https://kiakamgar.com/friday-fury-with-adrian-op...

Simplify your note-taking process 30.11.2021

I'm confused as to why some make the simplest of simple actions like taking notes more and more complicated. The only conclusion I've come up with is the fear of missing out.

Great knowledge is out there 29.11.2021

Search for a simpler app 23.11.2021

We're inundated with apps and tools. However, most are full of bloat and feature we never need. And because of that, we often stop using them.

Niche down on social media 22.11.2021

The idea of niching down on something isn't a new one. It's the best thing to do when you're in business. However, I think it's also valid when It comes to the social media platforms you use.

Content creation and the tech 16.11.2021

Too much tech is never great. When it comes to your video or podcast production tech, it's no different. Having too many 'toys' can hinder your creativity and when you start, it's simply not needed.

Using video in your business 15.11.2021
