Kia.

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

Is this the wrong platform? 02.01.2020

I'm often asked what the best platform or tool is for a workflow or business, and as a Tech Minimalist, I get to work to find the simplest, easiest to use (for my clients and myself) and most cost-effective solution possible. Today I tweeted about the platform I use for the MacJunky Dojo because I was happy and proud of what I could do with it, however, someone wasn't so impressed (constructive cr...

Don't fall into the trap! 27.12.2019

Do you have 'shiny object' syndrome? I for sure know I have! We all fall into the trap of buying new things, finding 'better' software, and getting new stuff we don't need. Sometimes we need to step back and look at our lives to understand where we're going wrong and take steps to fix it.

Do what you want 26.12.2019

Wouldn't it be great to be able to do what you wanted all year round and not just in the holiday season(s)? This is the only time of year that I'm extra, extra, EXTRA chilled! Not because I treat this period as a holiday, but because others do. For me the holidays are just another day, let me explain...

Gut feelings 19.12.2019

Choose wisely 16.12.2019

Do you keep bouncing from app to app for your business? The saying goes like this; Just because it's available, doesn't mean you should use it. I have a ton of clients who do this and always ask me how to minimise apps and services for the better. The point is not to keep using everything available, but to use the apps and services that work for you. Watch the video: https://kiakamgar.com/choose-w...

Do you keep leaving things to the last minute? 11.12.2019

Are you someone who tends to leave things to the last minute? Yeah, I know the feeling, it's not great right? So why do this with your Mac (or tech in general)? We need our tech and IT to work 100% of the time. You may not believe it, but I would say 95% of the time, the work I do for my clients is always an urgent one, why? Because our Macs/tech/IT is what we need to do our work. If it's not in g...
