Mindset

The Planned Day and the Lived Day will never fully match. The world will always try to rush you into its mood. This post is about a different kind of revenge: staying calm, staying analog, and refusing to become like a chaotic day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dismantling the Explosives Within. What if we gave everyone—including ourselves—a break? What if we started emptying our egos and dismantling the most combustible material within us?

Here’s what’s new: The Chronodex "Conscious time beats busy time" poster isn’t just another time tool.

In a world driven by endless to-do lists and constant distractions, the true secret to productivity is not in managing our time more efficiently, but in consciously spending our energy where it matters most.

Collecting memories and ideas is easy—the real art is in arranging them. Flipping through these analog pages reminds me that creativity isn’t about having more, but about making sense of what you already have. From Chaos to Clarity We live in a world overflowing with information, inspiration, and experiences. Our minds and notebooks fill up quickly, but true creativity—and true living—begins when we sift through the chaos and start to connect the dots. How do you make sense o

What if life isn’t just about reacting? What if life is actually 100% designed by your intentions
