🧠Trident Calendar System Boosts Productivity, Final-Year Project, and Reading Goals
Hi friends, Welcome to this week's issue of the weekly newsletter, which is after one week of break. Even though I tend to schedule this every week I do procrastinate sometimes😅.
I spend long hours nowadays on my university final project, which is on the edge of completion. It takes way longer than initially expected, and as leader of the group, my responsibilities are more significant than any other member's.
Anyway, firstly, I want to express the weekly highlights:
I am finally doing some proactive stuff with the calendar. I follow the Trident Calendar System, in which every task has its own time block.
The university's final-year project will end soon, so I'm doing 2x work on that.
Finally read the first half of my most-awaited book, “The Pathless Path.“
♥️ My Favorite Thing This Week
We all have limited hours in a day, and weekly, it’s impossible to do your stuff without prioritizing it in your calendar.
Whether you block the time in your calendar every morning or every week's first day, it’s totally up to you. The Trident Calendar System is a three-pronged approach to managing time, hence the name “Trident”. It’s not about the absolute planning of your week, but the ideal planning.
That’s what the ideal Trident Calendar looks like, obviously, you can customize it with your stuff.
🏁 University Final Year Project
This is very exciting for me as a computer programming student; I have already worked with technologies like the MERN stack in my development stack.
This final year, I learned everything in and out of strategies to build a project as the leader of a small team. This is a dashboard system, so the CRUD operation is the core of it. I have not used ORM before, but I also use PRISMA ORM for this project to simplify data queries from the server to the database.
If you are a developer, you can relate to how much more interesting it is to find the ORM to be the easy half of your job.
📚 Book I Have Reading
The Pathless Path by Paul Millerd, the book is all about how digital nomads see the world through a different lens. The author discussed the two paths of life:
The Default Path: Get good grades in school or college, do a weekly 9-to-5 job, and retire after the age of 60 to enjoy your life.
The Pathless Path: An Approach that Transcends Traditional Methods and Concepts.
The author discussed that there is nothing wrong with the default path, but the default path is not the only path to follow. In this digital era, you explore other approaches to the best life according to you, it’s a matter of failing early to find your path. Escaping the Rat Race is the crux of that book, in my opinion.

That’s all from my side, Happy weekend, and see you next week!
