• How I Created 20 Pages of PowerPoint Notes in Under 60 Minutes

    In conclusion: The prompt for step 4. There are few assumptions this is based on:


  • Goals, system, theme

    Words I constantly saw on YouTube title during the New Year: goals, habits, system, and theme. This post is to interpret their differences. Goals The milestone we look to achieve, such as loosing 5kg, running sub-60 10K, summer vacation to Thailand. The key to execution is to be as clear as possible. Instead of “Summer…


  • Overdoing and anxiety

    Every time I press the Post button on LinkedIn, my stomach cramps. It takes days for the stress to fade. Maybe I have not trained enough bias muscle resistance. At any kind of work, from business to exercise, there are good days and bad days. Then there are good weeks and bad weeks. The trap…


  • Sunk cost of over-research

    The more research time I invest, the harder it became to let go of the idea. Letting go would erase the time and effort I have spent. Therefore, Gear often matter very little in the making of a story, at least at the very start. This is often a sign that I’m stalling, while I…


  • Keep Going by Austin Kleon

    7 The only creative journey I seem to go on is the ten-foot commute from the back door of my house to the studio in my garage. 10 Creative life is not linear. It’s not a straight line from point A to point B. It’s more like a loop, or a spiral, in which you…

    This is a biased point of view. It is biased because most of the companies I worked for are hardware oriented or started with hardware. They are also large corporations. An observation that I derived with a friend was it’s more likely for software company to succeed in hardware versus hardware company in software. Great…


  • Dirty work of NDB pipeline

    During the lunch meet, we shared our experience working in a new business unit in a large corporation. The common trait we found was the lack of pipeline and prove of business. Most activities circles around product development. That’s not new, but what’s the takeaway? If I was given the opportunity, how do I enable…


  • Two folder layering of SharePoint document sets

    SharePoint document set has a limitation: two document sets can’t layer naturally and metadata is encouraged. This enforced a hard coded rule: top layer folder -> one layer document sets plus metadata columns -> files. From a product dev point, this is a tough feature limitation to make, considering the audience of Office and Windows…
