Contradiction - The Beautiful Friction
The plan is perfect. Then the day happens. Hegel argued that contradiction is the root of vitality. We feel this tension every time our ideal schedule meets messy reality. Don’t hide the mess in your notebook. The crossed-out lines and the unexpected arrows? That’s not failure. That’s the conversation between the optimist who planned and the realist who lived. The friction isn’t a bug. It’s the fuel.

Scribble Everywhere
Walls were my first sketchbook. As a kid, I filled them with pencil lines. Years later, I filled office glass and white panels the same way. Now I’m back to large surfaces again, using my Chronodex poster as a living whiteboard, letting ideas arrive messy, immediate, alive. If you write it down, you can solve it.

Is Your Day Blooming?
If your 2025 planner is a museum of untouched pages, maybe 2026 is the year you start sketching your life in circles instead of leaving it in your head. Look at this Chronodex—time blocks aren’t precise to the minute, and that’s the point. Not every day demands rigid appointments. Some days need breathing room, visual thinking, freedom to mark time as it flows rather than as it marches.

2025 Was Brutal: Taming 2026
As 2026 approaches, the new Chronodex Full-Year Edition arrives—a circle of time, not lines. After 14 years of sharing it free, I made it a paid creation, honoring the craft and journey. 2025 broke and rebuilt me; it made me conscious again. Life asked, “What if it were all up to you?” Time and energy are precious currencies—spend them with awareness. Let’s make 2026 transformative, grateful, and deeply lived.

Learning To Hold My Breath Without Fighting It
For years, 4‑7‑8 breathing looked calm on paper, but felt like drowning in my body. The secret was painfully simple: when I “held” my breath, I wasn’t holding air, I was locking my throat, just like scared‑little‑me in swimming class.

What Lives in Your Mind Finds Its Way Into the World
The Chronodex poster isn’t just a clock; it’s a manifestation of intention. Time moves in circles, not lines, and every wedge invites a conscious choice. I walked Hong Kong’s MTR, letting colour cue decisions, noticing how meaning emerges when attention aligns with place. Penifestation—putting thought to paper—maps the path. Time becomes rhythm, not pressure. And in those quiet intersections, possibility finds you.

Moving On in 2025: Reclaiming My Creative Journey with Chronodex
Life is short. As we step into 2025, I find myself reflecting on the words: “做人如果冇理想,咁同做條鹹魚有咩分別啊?” (If one has no dreams, what’s the difference from being a salted fish?)
