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

Do you own your data? 11.11.2021

Your email is the glue that holds your digital life together, and without it, you could lose the key to all your data. So making sure you 'own your keys' is vitally important. Here's what I had to deal with when my email stopped working.

It’s ok not to know 10.11.2021

We can't all know everything. Now I'm the kind of person interested in learning and actually like, to be able to do everything myself. I'm not a control freak. But I enjoy knowing how to do lots of things. But it's okay not to know everything.

Things don’t last forever 08.11.2021

As you know, I've been making videos for a couple of years. Now since the pandemic or just before the pandemic hit the end of 2019. But for the past few months, I haven't been making videos, and I was trying to figure out why I wasn't making the videos.

Friday Fury: Apple Support is a fucking joke 03.09.2021

You know, one thing that really irritates me is people not doing their jobs properly. And I'm sure you are the same. If someone came to your house and try to do some work and it wasn't done properly, you'd get annoyed and basically try to get them to do it properly. Or in fact, get someone else to do it because they've already shown their incompetence at, as, you know, what you hired them for what...

Revisiting an old friend: Daylite 02.09.2021

Yesterday I spoke about being able to work when you're offline when you don't have an internet connection because I was on holiday, a lot of people that are on holiday and they can't always work without the internet.

Working from home vs remote work 01.09.2021

You may or may not know that last week I wasn't around, and I was on a road trip to Portugal and kind of Spain. It's a long story. I’ll save that for another time.‍ But one thing that got me thinking about doing this video, was while I was away, I was actually working, doing some work with some clients and stuff. But there were a lot of times when I couldn't work because I didn't have an internet...

The grass is just fine 11.08.2021

With the work that I do, I have to go and find software solutions, basically, any kind of solutions, for my clients. And what that entails is me using that software for a particular amount of time to make sure that I'm happy with how they work, how they function and whether it would work for any of my clients.

Giving value to time 10.08.2021

Everyone's time is valuable. But we don't really think about what that means. And I think I, after 50 odd years, have realised what time means to me.

It’s ok to be wrong 09.08.2021

As business people who run businesses, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, small businesses, etc. We tend to know our business and what we do, but there are times when we make decisions, make decisions that are not good for our business, but we hear these things so often from other people that we think that we should employ those ideas thoughts, processes, and so on.

This should scare you 16.07.2021

Why I’m never busy 08.07.2021

I often emphasise the importance of avoiding the state of being 'busy'. Yes, there are tasks that need to be done, but constantly being or labelling oneself as 'busy' is counterproductive.

Conversation with Andra Zaharia 09.06.2021

I met Andra , who’s a cybersecurity content marketer via Twitter, and I’ve been following her posts for a week or so. A few days before our conversation she posted an article titled “ How to Protect Your Freelance Business from Cyberattacks and Fraud ”, it intrigued me. So I thought it would be great to have a conversation with her. After our conversation, I walked away with so much information an...

Conversation with Jack Bingham 02.06.2021

When I find a great app, I love to talk to the developers behind it. And if I find an issue, I really want to talk to the developers. And Jack is one of those developers. He has an app that's helped me quite a bit. So I wanted to have a conversation with him and see what kind of person he is. In this conversation, we talk about his app, and how he works. Which is quite similar to the way I work. A...

Conversation with Eldar Gezalov 19.05.2021

In this conversation, I'm speaking with Elder. I met him about last year, but I've been following him longer than that. He creates templates and courses for an app that I used to use. I've always been interested in how he works and how he produces his videos and the simplicity of them. After this conversation, I found out he is a minimalist, and we're pretty, much alike, and it freaked me out a bi...
