Switzerland
In short - Zürich city is split into district offices that handle your requests. You can quickly look up online which district your address belongs to, then engage with their online forms to request registration. Simple!
Productivity
The compound impact of a few focused work sessions per week is massive, and will help you run rings around the version of yourself who is reliant on a reactive schedule to get things done.
Personal Development
When I sat down, I thought I had a fairly quiet year. When I started thinking, I realised that was a bit of an understatement.
Cycling
Nailing cycling gear for cold weather is tough - start warm and you'll be sweating too much, start too cold and you might be miserable all ride.
Personal Finance
Here's the super simple system I use to run my personal finances. 4 accounts and a couple of standing orders keep everything humming along.
Cycling
SmartScaleSync.com is a great solution if you are looking to sync Wi-Fi scale weight between various health & training platforms. I use it to keep my weight data automatically synced across Garmin, Training Peaks, Zwift, and Strava.
Productivity
Downloadable PDFs and an Excel UK-specific version of the 2022 Compact Calendar by David Seah.
Technology
You can use Curve to link any UK VISA or Mastercard debit / credit card to Garmin Pay, even if it's not supported directly by Garmin Pay.
Personal Development
I have always aspired to have an effectively unlimited book budget. If I see a book that I am remotely curious about or interested in, I pick it up. Let's talk about why I think you should do the same.
Health
If you are even mildly curious about becoming more effective and happier you should buy this How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams. This is one of those classic books where the ROI is clearly far greater than the cost of the book.
Cycling
Chain wax is more efficient, easier to maintain, and less likely to leave oily marks on your clothes and calves when cycling than oil-based chain lubricants. I use Squirt chain lube.
