Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

People keep asking me the same question, how do you manage to write every single day?
But I see these kinds of questions pop everywhere, whether it is a YouTuber doing videos quite often or people pushing out e-books at an enormous pace.
I can't speak for these people, but I can tell you how to approach this time hack.
Hacking time is an excellent way to get more or different things done. You as a person can't change the fact that there are 24 hours in a day.
You want to be able to do as much as possible in the little time you got.
And yes, this can be a variety of things:
As you can see, there are many things we as humans want to achieve, and there is a way to get more done than you are doing now!
When it comes to hacking time, you might think of the obvious one. Cut down on your sleep, and you will have more time for other stuff. But this is far from true, at least for me.
I used to be a person that only had about 5 hours of sleep each night, and the moment I changed this to be 8+ hours, I actually became more productive.
But that is not nescesarry the hack I'm talking about today.
This hack involves assessing your time at the moment. And you can do this very low-leveled.
After every activity, you do ask yourself did it contribute to your happiness, did it enrich you?
Some examples:
Simple things like that, can you cut the down?
For me, the main dominator was travel time and watching shows. Of course, you still want and need to relax, so please don't fully give up on fun things. But cut them out to do something you want to.
Well that is unfortunate, are you sure you can't make your time more efficient?
Can you combine specific tasks? Watching a show while doing your laundry, or watching it while being on a home trainer, for instance.
Can you do some meetings while driving to work?
But all and all, it's about being happy with your day. Meaning if you find your day fulfilling and you did enough, it's a good day!
I hope you can cut down on some time and make your life even better!
