Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Building a new habit requires the right tools. Building a journaling habit is no exception. Luckily, the tools needed for journaling are easy to come by. Decide on your preferred method of writing. Is it digital or analog? If you prefer digital, choose a platform and stick with it. Possibilities include: Day One (app)…
The simultaneity of continuity and change is one of the greatest paradoxes that shapes the way we lead our lives. Humanity has more or less perfected the art of passing down elements unique to cultures across generations. Culture ensures we carry the useful things forward with us. Things that aren't get changed. While…
I used to think to produce good work, I have to duck my head down, empty myself, fully, so that I could un-become, and just be - right - do the right thing - somehow. I now know that my best bet is to integrate, to align, to face my heart, and yours. My best bet is to take things to their logical conclusion - because…
Ahhhh observe the noise; some tell stories, others reveal secrets. observe the colours; some convey intent, others reveal emotions. when combined you a character emerges, who are they...
I'm currently at an interesting event in Italy as a filmmaker and photographer. The location is fantastic, the weather is perfect, yet I feel empty. There are the participants and the client's team. And then there’s me – neither part of one or the other. This would be fine if my work were the main focus, but it’s not.…
After mulling it over for a couple of weeks, I made the change. I gave writers the option of adding a single image at the start of every Nicheless post. I'm not confident that it's the right move, but I'm eager to find out. If you're a writer here, I owe you an explanation. That's what this post is for. Firstly, let…
Endlessly offering my shoulder for you to lean and cry on, but you always reject it. Endlessly prioritizing you, instead you chose to ignore me. Endlessly understanding you, but you chose to see me as an inconvenience. Endlessly giving you my love, even if I don't get anything in return.
It's very popular out there the notion of building a habit by taking the activity in question on practice it every day for a certain number of days. It's embedded in many popular apps like Duolingo or Strava. I think it got popularized by the habit building experts out there and also due to the Seinfeld strategy. You…
being the nice guy is not going to get you anything. you think you are doing people good but no you are just killing yourself bit by bit. people will go on doing what they want to do. hurt you. worse, not even care about you. people are just trauma. you got to be an asshole to get what you want. put your own needs…
Earlier, I wrote about guilt related to consuming content on the internet. I got rid of that feeling by watching shows which I need not binge. Food shows seemed just right. Food is so central to all our lives and intertwined with the history, culture, and sociology of a people that it can't be dull. While growing up,…

Know the cards if you want to play the game Then you won’t feel anxious or feeling that the world is against you Know that the world won’t be pretty with people First important skills: learn how to deal with different people And what…
My first post here. Exploring So far so good. I <3 nicheless's clean interface 0 bloat.
write what? well, just write b/c writing is oft right thoughts can be fleeting but, wherever you left off, writing can pick you right up, right where you left off
Doesn't it feel good to check off a task, meet a goal, or get to your destination? That feeling is equal for small or large steps. For your new journaling habit, you need to start small. A small start means it's doable, less intimidating. It takes less time and fits into your schedule. You still see results. When…
The old time view for businesses was that they existed simply to make money and that social impact needn't be a consideration. This 1962 definition makes it absolutely clear- “one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits, so long as…
Adulthood is all about being with people you love. Away from home, Lost in a City of strangers, Getting introduced to a new world. It gets lonely in the Adulthood but the only way from here is finding your Community, friends, art, media. I find people complaining on twitter about being lonely and not able to make…
Sabe, eu odeio as obrigações. Tem que fazer isso, tem que fazer aquilo, blablabla. Numa dessas, melhor dizendo, numas dessas, eu sempre acabo em uma espécie de pocket burnout onde fujo pro banheiro com zumbido no ouvido e enxaqueca intensa. Não acho que seja crise de ansiedade e sim uma grande dificuldade em interagir…
ahhhhhh a reoccurring shape i use in creation is a sphere. why do i use it? the reason derives from a quote by Andrea Branzi "the distance between the natural world and artificial world no longer exists today, because the latter has become second nature". this quote resonates with me, i exists both naturally and…
a força, o ritmo, a vontade, o prazer, a audácia, o cuidado, a potência, o tremor, a umidade com que usas a língua (portuguesa, é claro)
Lately, the past two weeks, I have been trying to figure out or trying to answer the question "Who am I?". It has been a couple of rough months for me, given a recent unemployment, but, I now have time to slow down, think, and prioritise what are the most important things to me. What I want of my life? What I value?…
When did being mindful become an abstract, complicated process that we must opt into daily? To be mindful is simply to be attentive and aware. To get out of your own head. To realize the world doesn't revolve around you. To be curious about what is going on with others and to engage accordingly. In other words: don't…
there is something about the nature of the things i seek which makes them hard to find namely that i look for things that are largely unspoken i look for the anti-memes and i am so attuned to this quality that the books i want to read are often difficult to acquire or out of print
I had the privilege of a very long talk with my skip boss. What started off with niceties about skiing quickly moved to discussing a major problem at work. Earlier this week we discovered a necessary change to the database required to move forward with what had been a trivial value-add in our app. The change required…
I wonder when it first dawned on me that one day I will not be here anymore. Was it when I was 12, roller-skating, back in my hometown? Afraid to fall or be thrown to the ground, always afraid to hurt myself beyond repair. Dreading the pain, my fists clenched, gliding on the edges of the rink. Or was it at 18, when I…
Les dates se confondent ; les jours sont les mêmes. Je me réveille un matin pour réaliser que trois mois sont passés. Mes repères temporels ne suffisent pas à sauver ma pauvre horloge interne. Je vis des journées de trente heures suivies de nuits de dix-huit heures. Ce rythme de vie fut fatal à ma notion du temps,…
That’s sort of the goal that you wished to attain That you didn’t have Saw on Bumble the other day “What’s the best thing you did for your mental health: living in the present” • so you sort of just be attracted to yourself, upgrade yourself in so many ways And you’ll eventually attract quality others to you - you…
I wish they had given me some heads up about life. I wish they knew better about the rat race, and did not nudge towards the same path and mistake the made. I wish I knew better about money, I won't be in the hole I dug myself and I won't be stuck in a job that's draining every drop of life out of me. I wish they knew…
Sometimes, I find myself self-critical over my apparent lack of focus, worrying that my broad range of interests doesn't get me anywhere. "Business Idea Factory" by Andrii Sedniev has helped me see the value in my widespread curiosity. The book highlights that exposure to diverse experiences is not just beneficial but…
looks so much like my cousin that i'm not allowed to have a crush on him but old keanu reeves...
Running around my neighborhood has made me bitter. I see piles of trash on the side of the road and I tell myself a story about people that don't care. I see more and trash and I feel more anger. What can I do? What control do I have? The same control I tell my kids that they have - I can only control myself. So I'm…
Recentemente eu comecei a ler o livro "Fazer justiça" de uma francesa um ano mais velha do que eu chamada Elza Marsault. Bem, ela faz algumas críticas que eu considero muito pertinentes à militância do jeito que ela é hoje, e eu vou destacar um trecho da primeira parte dessa leitura que eu fiz aqui. "Essa vigilância…
when i'm alone, i don't eat because to eat, you have to cook, and if you cook, you have to do the dishes and it's just not worth the hassle (i can't understand people for whom eating is such a pleasure that they'll go through the trouble of not only cooking, but BAKING) it turns out it's far more enjoyable to be…
I like how Nicheless just has this whole, "I am a blank page and I dare you to write something on me," vibe to it.
I finally jumped onto the startup bandwagon towards the end of 2021 at the time when offices were sending emails to their employees about opening up. It occurred to me then that if I did not do this, then the only choice left to me would be to go back to the corporate world. I decided to start my own corporate world…
my transitional coworker, a coworker who took over my piano teaching job for me and who, during this transition, became my friend, is a musician more precisely stated, his main thing, as he sees it, is the music he makes, and this piano teaching gig, as he sees it, is just a side hustle -- it's the root that nourishes…
I've been immersing myself in this world of meme coins over the past few weeks. It was a simple idea, I'm trying to find the best investment portfolio for financial liberation, a mix of long term & short term holds. Along this journey, I stumbled across meme coins, it seemed like the perfect playground to test my…
Is 1+1 = 3? Looking at my past relationship I see 1+1 is 10 in the beginning. But when the relationship goes to the end one of the 1 is not making less of his own number and he comes even less than what he’s supposed to be: a 1. He was less than a 1, and the other 1 does not care. The maths doesn’t make sense anymore…
Ahhh... Artificial Intelligence (AI) has intrigued me recently because it challenges the way we understand. it is like a true mirror of ourselves. it has the potential to create beauty and already does. but it may also show us a side of ourselves we do not like...
I'm always surprised when I find out that I'm not who I thought I am. When I was younger, I thought of myself as a go-getter. Someone who pursued. A manic worker. But I find satisfaction now in not pursuing every possibility. In being selective and leaving a lot of room and time to digest and think rather than just…
Our friends say they’ve experienced a lot of goodbyes and they used to not bother even saying hello until they learned that there’s a possibility you see each other again and that possibility makes the hello and intermittent goodbyes worthwhile. But there are many people I miss who I will never see again. The feeling…
It seems like we got some information about what the Art Symposium was about: === anon2080 The full transcript of my interview with Dr. Caleb Takagi Gutiérrez will be published next month in Ensenada Insiders. A sneak peek: - "Tell us more about what drove you to focus on artists in La Nueva" CTG: "Let me clarify that…
yeah yeah, the year's actually almost over and we're quickly approaching feral consumerism and mariah carey season, but i haven't posted on any of my other blogs since 2021 and have once again found a new one to play with, so technically i'm not wrong. big fan of this monospaced minimalism. at this point i'm just…
A spiritual guide once to told me that "God is everything or God is nothing. What was my choice to be?" Once, when leaving a spa, the massage therapist told me "Walk on mother earth as you would want your children to walk on you." My entire life, like so many others, has been a life of spiritual seeking. Even when I…
today should be a good day if we would be a could be.
'People don't quit companies, they quit managers'. Just like the way companies do background checks, you also need to do background checks on managers/teams/companies. Oftentimes we don't put in the effort for two reasons - 1) lack of choice, we need this job 2) we don't even know how to do it. Glassdoor reviews can…
I need to recognize that taking decisions is one of the worst things for me. I like what Shubham said - do things that you can which are in your control and hope for the best. I am finding it very difficult to take a decision. And I think the reason I struggle so much with it is because I: 1. strongly fear the blame…
The duality baffles me. Of who I am, and who people think I am. Actually fuck duality. Let's call it the unholy trinity. Disgusts me. Who I am, who I think I am, and who people perceive me to be. It's surreal once you become slightly aware that you might already be living in a multiverse. Of your own faults. Of your…
"What do you think about the Rolex Daytona?", asked my friend. "It's great but I am an Omega person", I replied. "The model in the new 007 movie is truly a piece of art". "It sure is. What do you think about the grey Tom Ford suit Daniel Craig wore in the movie?", I asked. "I think the blue one was better. You should…
