π§π»ββοΈ 5 Updates
1. A bit about me :)
Hey I'm Elly (yes people call me elly belly, no, I do not appreciate smelly elly π)
Iβm 15,πin Toronto, π a visual art major and TKS Innovate, πΒ interested in environmental issues and exploring solutions, and have a small π Β sweet potato addiction.
And now you basically know everything there is to know π§π»ββοΈ
2. Joining the TKS gang
This year, I decided to spice things up and join The Knowledge Society. I'm one month in and I love the people, the information and lessons we learn, and the culture in general. My newsletters will probably be focused on TKS updates, so be hyped π€
3. Braindates
One of my favourite parts of TKS is braindates (aka meeting new people and learning from each other) so peep this photo of Jamelia and me in one:
4. Digging into environmental solutions
Right now, I'm exploring alternative energy (progress kind of lacking, so I'll get moving on that), but I'll keep you guys posted for next month. While learning about AI, I found this article from DeepMind on how machine learning has boosted the value of wind energy by about 20%.
5. Time blocking
An issue I've struggled with for the longest time is time management. Part of it is me being the slowest person in the world, but a bigger part is me saying Iβll βget into it yuhβΒ but never getting to it (doja cat reference π)
I've very recently started time blocking (shoutout to Ian), and here's a peek into what it looks like:
Β Yes, I have a reminder to do my streaks because Iβm forgetful andΒ WILL lose them

π€ 3 Current Faves
1. Why We SleepΒ
This book is scary, considering everything that happens when we don't get 7 to 8 hours in. It's also quite timely because I'm struggling with my sleep schedule right now π€π»
2. A Beginnerβs Guide to Brain-Computer InterfaceΒ
This article is worth reading because I learned some solid basics about brain-computer interfaces. Plus, BCIs open up a lot of possibilities, like what if we could airdrop thoughts π
Β I included this because itβs a bop but ALSO I referenced it above. For the longest time I thought it was βget into a yachtβ and my friends still bully me for it π§π»ββοΈ
π 1 Progress Shot
This looks like nothing right now, but they will be finished for the next newsletter and itβs (hopefully) going to look like a walnut by then π°
Since youβve spent your time reading this to the end, might as well leave a comment too (I will love and appreciate you) π
