1/ The software I& #39;m paid for in the last 3 months, a thread

I spent a lot of time watching @AliAbdaal @nateliason @shuomi3 @TomFrankly @fortelabs and discovered a lot of great apps in the last 3 months

Here& #39;s a thread of the apps and why I chose to pay for them
2/ The biggest investment is @RoamResearch. It transformed my writing habit and with that, every other habit downstream. I& #39;m creating a lot more. I& #39;m consuming a lot more and I& #39;m writing about that as well.

It is now a part of me
3/ @readwiseio has finally made it worthwile to highlight things. And the export into @RoamResearch is a game changer.

I enjoy the everyday highlights and I know that all the time I spend reading on the internet is not wasted anymore
4/ A @skillshare subscription because I& #39;m not a fan of "purchasing" courses. I look at courses like I look at books.

I browse, scan and only consume what interests me. Purchasing individual courses turned out to be a lot more expensive and this all-you-can-eat model is perfect
5/ @instapaper because books are just one source and there& #39;s a lot of wisdom on the internet (looking at you @david_perell)

The downstream through @readwiseio into @RoamResearch is just icing on the cake
6/ @brilliantorg - discovered this through @AliAbdaal. This has now replaced my post lunch FIFA time.

A sub-par childhood education system meant that I never learnt anything properly. This is a chance to fix that.
7/ @TextExpander because I realise I type most of the same things over and over again. And it& #39;s got game changing features in dates and I& #39;ll never look at WPM the same way ever again
8/ @alfredapp because it& #39;s just a super monster of an app. I& #39;ve barely scratched the surface and I& #39;m already beginning to see the value in it
9/ This may not look like a big deal but software is expensive in India and it& #39;s still not common. Some of these apps were also kind enough to give me discount and I& #39;m grateful

Software investments have compounding returns. It& #39;s like buying books at the start of school year.
