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

Limitations are good for productivity 22.05.2020

Limiting your tech stack, limiting your apps, and limiting your workflow will help you focus rather than multitask on several tasks at once. Below is a link to a video that’s well worth a watch, it’s called The Paradox of Choice, and it explained how too much choice is hurting you rather than helping.
