Hi,

‍

Here's another microdose of things I consumed this week--written by me, Raad—CEO of Lawtrades and creator of this project, spacecult.

2/ An idea I journaled

3/ An album I’m working to

‍

Wander Into by Ann Annie (40m, no vocals)

Spotify <> Apple Music <> YouTube Music <> Amazon Music <> Bandcamp

‍

A tranquilizing modular synth composer based in Portland, Oregon that makes music perfect for concentrating.

‍

4/ A podcast I listened to

‍

Transforming Your relationship with Anxiety (1h 20m)

‍

Anxiety triggers our brains fight-flight-freeze mode to deal with threats. This in turn dominates our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This talk discusses ways to shift that experience.

‍

5/ A tool I’m exploring

‍

Roam

‍

I’ve been using workflowy for bullet journaling but found it difficult to stitch ideas together. For example, if I took notes from a from a book and then later wanted to connect that idea to a related conversation with a friend or a tweet I came across—roam makes that process fluid. It’s like a wikipedia for your brain that you can build an interconnected database of your knowledge over time. Inspired by Niklas' Luhmann's 'Zettelkasten' slip-box system.

6/ A quote I’m pondering

‍

If adversity cannot bring the best in you, prosperity never will.
