New Acronym for CodeMacLife

Life changes. So does my blog.

When I started CodeMacLife, it was a simple representation of the different aspects of my life — computing, Apple products, and self-improvement.

But as time went on, my focus shifted towards my career, quality of life, and the things that truly matter to me.

Reflecting on these changes, I realised that the original meaning behind CodeMacLife no longer resonated with where I am now. So, I decided to revamp it with a new acronym that better reflects the topics I write about and care about.

Here is what CodeMacLife represents now:

C: Capture meaningful moments
O: Organise thoughtfully
D: Delve deep to distill the essence of information.
E: Express to help others grow
M: Mindfully embrace challenges
A: Achieve financial freedom through active effort.
C: Cultivate well-being and minimalism
L: Live a life you want to live
I: Internalise confidence
F: Foster a growth mindset and resilience
E: Essentialism anchors everything

Improving by 1 percent isn’t particularly notable — sometimes it isn’t even noticeable — but it can be far more meaningful, especially in the long run. - James Clear (Atomic Habits)

I believe this is a mantra to help me move forwards. As James Clear said in his book, Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results: ‘We all deal with setbacks but in the long run, the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits.’

CodeMaclIfe is not simple a domain name, it is a step forwards towards better living.
