I understand process automation as the act of analyzing yourself and your interactions with the world to find the way to reduce the time or willpower spent on your life processes.

New: Introduce the time management concept.

Time management is the process of planning and exercising conscious control of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity. It involves a juggling act of various demands upon a person relating to work, social life, family, hobbies, personal interests, and commitments with the finiteness of time. Using time effectively gives the person "choice" on spending or managing activities at their own time and expediency.

New: Introduce the interruption management concept.

Interruption management is the life management area that gathers the processes to minimize the time and willpower toll consumed by interruptions.

New: Introduce how to contribute to the free knowledge initiative.

One of the early principles of the internet has been to make knowledge free to everyone. Alexandra Elbakyan of Sci-Hub, bookwarrior of Library Genesis, Aaron Swartz, and countless unnamed others have fought to free science from the grips of for-profit publishers. Today, they do it working in hiding, alone, without acknowledgment, in fear of imprisonment, and even now wiretapped by the FBI. They sacrifice everything for one vision: Open Science.

Reorganization: Reorder the sections of the site navigation menu.

Give more importance to Coding, Activism and Life Management, reducing the Software Architecture and Data Analysis sections.
