Having logins to more than 500 websites and having to remember them all is no joke. It’s one of those areas where software is not just helpful but essential. A password manager generates strong, unique passwords for every site and fills them in automatically. You only need to remember one master password. I started off […]
Dealing with the Shiny Object Syndrome
Like many other entrepreneurs, I suffer from the shiny object syndrome. That’s a fancy phrase to describe the excitement I feel on a daily basis as I encounter stuff that I’d love to own, places I’d like to visit, and business ideas I’d like to pursue.

Should You Stop Using Facebook?

If you’re still using your bank for international money transfers, you’re overpaying — probably by more than you realize. Banks don’t just charge a transfer fee. They also quietly apply an exchange rate markup of 2–5% above the real mid-market rate. On a $10,000 transfer, that’s $200–$500 gone before the money even leaves your account. […]
The Value of Silent Retreats
Every year or so, I like to take a few days off and make a retreat. I don’t go on holiday to some fabulous destination (although I do that too at other times). When I go for a retreat, the one thing I look for is silence. I like to find a retreat house in […]
