Welcome to my Digital Garden
Hello, my name is Pedro. I'm an enthusiastic learner, optimistic, and entrepreneur, always trying to find ways to add more value to the world. I started this blog to improve my learning processes implementing the Zettelkasten and to create and improve my writing skills. As the project grew, I made some functionalities to leverage some activities that I had to do repetitively. For example, I created the Flashcard functionality to help me apply the spacing learning effect.
I genuinely believe in the power of sharing and spreading knowledge. Every note, article, or book summary is a great way to share and leverage my hours dedicated to studying and creating the posts. Instead of reading a book and keeping it only with me, I leverage those hours sharing and helping others. Doing this is my way of creating serendipity and improving my value and status. The opportunities that may arise doing this blog are endless.
I've also open-sourced this website under the CC BY 4.0 license on GitHub.

No B.S. Time Management for EntrepreneursThis book is expressively for entrepreneurs and business owners who wear many hats—those who can't resist piling more responsibility onto his own shoulders, who has more great ideas that time and resources to take advantage of them, who runs (not walks) through each day.

My Story - The Dance TeacherThe worse was that I was not being the owner of my life and it was being ruled by others, not by me. So, I asked myself, "How long won't I live my life and I'll let others live it for me?" Trust me, that question turns my life upside down, in the best of sights.
