A week, a project, a topic, a theme, a solution, a study, a goal, a trip, an event, a guide, each of these is represented in the same structure as a document, to enable possibilities from here.

Note:
I expect to find the time to, only maybe ‘speed-up’ the document fetching and loading through a live Google Sheet Index, the Google Doc loading time depends a lot on the document’s specific content. The good thing is, the longer it takes to load, the more information there is, but then. Who can count insights or ‘know-how’, learning steps or simply saving the time in doing or thinking about these things yourself, if you are a developer or engineer - I’m not, but there are 20 years of continuous learning, and improving upon experience over a broad range of professional areas, put into everything I do daily.
This document viewer interface, as quirky as it may be,
funky or ‘nerdy’ even, does its job and allows you to navigate the first tab of my private documents from this website section. After a couple of days of iterating and re-iterating versions over, believe me, more than one ai-assistant, I finished it to my intended specs. Then after another couple of days testing, reversioning, and making it more robust, I declared it mechanically boring, predictable, and is now quite robust.
I like this solution because it works to me as a metaphor. This is somewhat a creative vehicle, for further creative or productive work, communication materialized, serialized and automated on demand. This is a modern solution that slows things down, allows for surfacing the documents’ content, my work experience, the actual product of my weekly practice, at any desirable level. The vehicle, a document. Resemblant to paper itself, paper caters for philosophical depth, my craft itself nourishes from a fusion of multi-cultural, ancestral knowledge, traditions, human heritage value and local sustainability. What I love about paper is that it allows you to work and attain nearly infinite potential outcomes, using and building on the same method every time. There is a lot to learn from a humble blank page. I am also learning that as I write.
There is probably nothing more valuable to us humans than our time.
I spend a lot of my own time, deep diving into a deep focus mode. I won’t tag or use any labels for that, but that is how I work. I dive in to solve problems and save time, or simply to make sure that things have a hard time slipping back or being left undone, throughout my professional practice. Whole areas of concern that could otherwise linger in my mind without materializing and perpetually making me feel overpassed. Hence I became a ‘coder’ - now over a decade into it, and ai-assistance is sure a perk! – so I upgraded to systems architect +prompt engineer, without the weight or cost of a degree.
This tool here doesn’t just save me a minute,
and remove my friction in publishing, or writing openly online. It actually defines one of my key routine patterns, and helps me establish chosen levels of technical and creative communication with anybody around the globe, any time. That is cool.
Friction removed.
My mind-set when programming, is to reduce a burdento a solution involving just one, or no physical action. I prefer one click solutions, because I guess I am Generation-x, not millennial -b y one year. I like chunky mechanical things, but time, context or condition based automations are also good. They allow you to not think, not have to remember to press any button at all, to get the thing done. They require intense planning and ‘signal’ from the real world to remain useful and target real pain. When used with caution, wisely and for the right part of a process, usually not the whole process procedure, they can become very high value.
Stay tuned.
PS: If you really read to the end, thank you for reading. 💛
