🖥 My Favourite Websites of the Month
A stunning 3D WebGL personal website built with the #threeJs library
It's such a fun website and it's officially made me add threeJS to the list of tools that I plan to play with.

📚 My Favourite Reads of the Month
Interviews with product designers
Staff Design is a collection of interviews exploring how product designers navigate the individual contributor path to its highest levels.
Thoughts on the trend of homogeneity in app design

💪🏽 My Favourite Lifestyle Changes of the Month

At the start of the month I was feeling a little bit of analysis paralysis by my multiple-project-spanning daily do list. The idea of writing more well-defined tasks isn't a new one, but I've found that I gain a lot more clarity when I jot down my next three objectives for each project on my to do list.
So I've essentially gone from a to do list that looks like this:
To one that looks like this:
- Work on Project A
- Work on Project B
