There, you clicked. I gave it to you.
But, you didn’t just want the apps.
You wanted to know how I used the apps.
And you wanted to know how my use, can inspire your own use case.
So, allow me to change your life.
Before I do so, however, I’d like to provide some context about myself so this information is sensical.
Who am I?
I’m what can be referred to as a polymath. My dimensions can be categorised as a Violinist, Composer, Law Student (soon graduate), Creative Director, Designer, and Content Creator. With this new venture, I’m fusing this background with my previously clandestine interests in psychology, philosophy, and health.
I’ve been playing violin since I was six, and have now ‘graduated’ to creating 11 compositions alongside my father (a notable musician in the Middle East), and performing them in concert. Presently, I’m also on track to completing my legal studies (or law school) after also having completed a Bachelor in Media Arts & Production. This has been a 5 year process thus far. Since the beginning of high school I also began dabbling with film, graphic design, 3D design, art, and photography. I loved every second of it and knew it was something I had to pursue. What began as designing for e-sports teams led me down the path of fusing these skills into my own ventures, beginning with music (creating my entire digital presence, directing films and music videos), then to launching my own design business, and leveraging these skills as part of ‘The Multifaceted Perspective’ (essential for navigating the modern digital creator path). I also leverage these skills for content creation as part of my musical venture.
As I state often, I am by no means flaunting this as a measure of success. And I am not claiming to be ‘successful’…yet (I have my own definition of this), so as to coax you into buying something or believing something blindly.
But, I believe it is worth sharing my journey and what I’ve learned, and will learn, in navigating an unconventional path, especially since I’m 23 and know there is more to experience.
With this background established, I’m sure you want to understand how I achieved what I did. Well…
Aim Of This Article
In this article, I’ll be showing you how I use the vaunted apps I mentioned and how they facilitate my multifaceted life. I’ll also aim to convey how my use case differs from conventional productivity channels.
I want to note that I’m not mentioning the health apps I use, as this requires a separate article.
NOTE: I had a YouTube Video of this ready to go, but the file got corrupted and could not be restored, even though it was complete and just had to be rendered :(
