Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Do you dream of being a daily journaler? You may have the first two steps mastered, leaving just one more action to make your dream come true. Five years ago, I took on a job that required me to up my task management. I turned to Bullet Journaling. Each morning, I listed tasks to be completed. It worked like a charm.…
I seem to be needing emotional punching bags to deal with my emotions. What happens if the punching bag is alive and feels you punching it? Anyway, just commemorating the first time I’ve cried on call with SM because of an argument we’ve been having.
1. Cosmos cosmos.so It's a really good looking site with an okayish free tier offering. Sadly uses some AI for auto-tagging and their search engine. They also have an iOS app. 2. Arena are.na I really like this. Their design is absolutely top-tier. Pretty generous free tier offering (you can save 200 "blocks" or…
Recently, I had a conversation with the mother of a friend. She asked me what I’m planning to do after finishing my undergraduate studies this summer. Saying that I don’t want to pursue a master’s degree and rather start working directly was already hard for her to comprehend. Then she asked, “So where are you going…
I was reading a post by one of the Nicheless users about how he became a Corporate Lawyer by fluke. This reminded me how life doesn't make sense if we look forward. But it makes sense when we look backward and connect all the dots. I started curating and writing a newsletter in October 2020. I didn't have any plans…
ppl dream so small. every comment on every live performance of every artist says "i want to go to their concert". not i. i want them to sing this to me privately in the fucking shower. matt healy. "robbers" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu2QXKDNoWs this. in the fucking shower. let's go.
From my experiments: The best sleep schedule for humans is polyphasic in the summer (±5h at night, 90 min during the day) and monophasic during the winter (8-10h sleep at night; no nap during the day). It’s best to wake up with the onset of the morning dawn (slightly before sunrise). It is natural for humans to wake…
Hello, self! You're receiving this email because uhm, you subscribed to yourself. I think Louis is onto something here, and I hope it catches on. I just find that welcome message a tad funny. "Subscribe to yourself to receive your messages!" At least I know someone will read it later. Writing anonymously does give…
Karena merupakan hal paling rasional untuk dilakukan, jika menggunakan sistem keuangan saat ini. Yang dikenal dengan istilah "FIAT currency". Uang fiat adalah mata uang keluaran pemerintah yang tidak didukung oleh komoditas fisik, seperti emas atau perak. Salah satu kekurangan uang fiat adalah inflasi. Bank Indonesia…

As one travels deeper into the sixth decade of life, and settles into the third decade of a rewarding professional career, the prospect of slowing down seems just not attractive, but is inevitable. There was a time when reading and writing were part of my routine. I don't mean the work that was required of me as a…
Imagine it's a brisk autumn morning. The air is crisp, but it's not too cold just yet. The sun hits your skin, calling the hair on your neck to stand at attention as your goosebump ridden arms feed on its elixir of vitamin D. You order your favourite skinny cappuccino as the arabica stained air greets your nostrils…
ahh as i continue to think about digital worlds my mind draws to how i would like to be 'seen' inside of these worlds. digital fashion has been emerging with mainstream NFT projects as mundane clothing that imitates what we wear today. yet a digital world does not require us to wear clothes with the same intent. i…
We have steadily become trained to gather inspiration like a humpback whale gulping down thousands of krill. The constant inundation of images and concepts can confuse the mind and stifle your own creative spark. Really, the most profound moments of inspiration happen, not within the outer noise, but within the inner…
Friendships, like any other relationships, are supposed to be mutual—mutual understanding and mutual effort. There should be a balance to it, just like any other aspect of life. When a friendship is one-sided, it can lead to unhealthy feelings of resentment or exhaustion. Eventually on the long run, you can get tired…
Trungpa has always really spoken to me. All the themes he touches on are salient to my life — fear and bravery, sadness, loving-kindness, self-hatred. He takes things I believe myself to be good at (being soft, sad, sensitive, honest, open) and says these are what you need to cultivate in order to be free of fear and…
i think nicheless is the place where i slowly give shape to my becoming of a writer. see, all these years i have struggled to find my authentic voice. i have always found myself impersonating the style of the grandiose writers, philosophers or poets - depending upon whom i read last. there may have been elements of my…
This was it. A day off after several months of parenting, working under pressure, side-hustling, managing the house, and doing all the third shift admin if my life. Finally I get to have some reprieve. A momentary escape. It was planned. I looked forward to it, after arranging for childcare and making a ton of…
"Don't tell me the moon is shining. Show me the glint of moonlight on broken glass" Chekhov. And there it is. The secret of creativity in 16 words. Sounds deceptively easy... until you look for the glass. In this four part series on creativity, moving from mayhem to magic in your writing (photography, painting or…
The optimal number of imperfections in a city is not zero. I just spent 24 hours in Lima, and I think it comes pretty close to finding the right balance between organisation and chaos. Combine that with a friendly people, an incredible cliff-edged coastline and world class cuisine, and you've got yourself a city you…
Today, while I was stuck in a traffic jam, I saw a car throw something out the window. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as I got closer, I realized it was trash—a can of beer. My mind started to explode with questions and thoughts: Why didn’t that person save the trash until they got home to throw it away? Why…
Got moneys doesn’t mean shit. It’s how you treat people, with genuine care, with genuine kindness - having confidence means it’s okay not to be liked, even nobody is with you it’s going to be okay. And that usually is cos you have your own tribe already that you can do that - you can’t treat it with everyone that way…
To begin some things either there should be passion or fear in your heart. Guess I have both and additionally the overwhelming feeling in my head which pushes me away from my tasks and also pulls me back from long procrastination. I remember learning this word "Overwhelmed" in my 10th standard. My English teacher told…
This is obviously a very easy answer. I will be on my phone. If I happen to have my ear buds with me, I would use them to listen to an audiobook or a podcast. If I didn't have my earbuds or I needed to hear what is going on around me, I would prefer to read some book in my phone's kindle app. Else I would be scrolling…
The factual background of this book is already striking. Padma and Lalli, two lower-middle class teenage girls, go missing from their unremarkable Western UP village in the summer of 2014. They are found hanging from a mango tree. Their family refuses to allow the bodies to be brought down till justice is done. Sonia…
.. or public writings for myself? Who knows what this will evolve into, but it seems at first glance to be a natural step forward from using The Most Dangerous Writing App to get my thoughts out on paper, back when I was a teenager. Personally I have always felt the struggle of wanting to be in a community, to share…
Today was an intense day full of business strategy work - thinking big, maximizing impact, market analysis, etc. Networking, research, meetings, and repeat. However, my personal highlight of the day occurred in the night, on my way back from the gym. The streets were empty, the air was fresh and there was a slight fog…
I‘m thankful for all the beautiful people I have in my life. I‘m grateful for all the amazing experiences I have made so far. I love being me. I truly appreciate all of this.
Some days will be lit. Other days you’ll have to find your fire.
News update: I get a call from Shoo that she is now dating someone new. That person happens to be Nelson. My reaction 1: I am not surprised, kinda saw this coming, don't worry, I'm not mad. My reaction 2: My best friend is dating someone I have had bad experiences with. What do I do? I had a call with Nelson. That…
I’ve been working on building some reverb tanks the last few weeks. I got the first one wired tonight and I messed up something. The two circuit boards, that are not connected, are somehow interacting with each other. I’m going to try and wire up the second one tomorrow and see if I can find what I did wrong the first…
Watching the debate on whether we ought not to trust mainstream media between Matt Taibbi and Douglas Murray for the motion, and Michelle Goldberg and Malcolm Gladwell against, I was struck by the ineptitude of the arguments put forth by the team against, particularly by Gladwell. On multiple occasions he insinuated…
Not living inside yourself To be confidence means being prepared And doing all sort of things right No matter how small they are and picking things up So even you go to the elevator Look at the surroundings and take it in Observe and learn Especially when you’re outside try to find what’s new perspectives that could…
ahh some ideas initially spark a lot of enthusiasm. now that same idea does not interest me, it lacks substance. the hard question to answer is do i continue to peruse the idea by giving it more substance? only if the idea to better it sparks stronger enthusiasm than the original idea. this would become a totally…
last night was norwegian taco night. e was like "do you guys want to play a game?" i said "yeah" then he made us take a political stances test and he put in my scores and said "it says right here you are a fascist"
Sim, estou feliz e surpresa com o fato de estar adorando viajar sozinha. A paz imensa que é não ter que ficar justificando, negociando, pensando em outra pessoa além de mim... Não tenho palavras para descrever o prazer disso. Eu vim pra Minas muito cansada. Muito cansada mesmo. Ontem eu dormi a tarde, hoje vou dormir…
In the morning the weather was rainy-pouring, actually. For a moment ı wouldnt be able to go to the library but luckily it cleared up later. Now,I gonna use my english. I am learning english, there for I am going to the library. sometimes, I am reading book there and there is a free tea and yummy cake (thank you…
Ahhhhh speaking with an AI has moments of joy thinking about all the possibilities. then it's content quickly changes and reality tells me we have a very long way before all our possibilities will be realized...
Today a short chapter of my life ended But every ending is a new beginning I'm looking forward to the new chapter I will fill the pages one by one Always searching for the right path to take ...
In a world drowning in information, it's tempting to think we have all the answers. Search engines serve knowledge on a silver platter, and social media makes experts out of laypeople. Yet, the more we know, the more we become aware of an unsettling truth: the vast realm of the "unknown" still stretches infinitely…
Apple is about to have their own on-devices AI that will improve UX. I believe this will be another inflation point for Smartphone cycles. A lot of function no longer requires sending over to the server, things such as Voice Message from any Apps such as Whatsapp to Telegram being transcribed into Text on Devices.…
this is the thing i wanted to talk about: i used to feel deprived in social interactions because i wanted something that i could not get. i didn't really know what it was exactly but i think it is: uninhibited intellectual-artistic playfulness and uninhibited intellectual-artistic curiosity i wanted someone to play…
Ahh i don't think we will ever see a way permanently remove 'bad' actors from our worlds. one one side of the venn diagram we have the 'good' actor, on the other 'bad' actor, the position intersecting both is our utopia. i question what will it look like...
The comfort zone is a deceptive piece of shit that keeps trying to stop me from having formative experiences. Although I am aware of this, it hits me every time and each time it costs me a great deal of effort to overcome it. The good news is that the comfort zone expands with every new experience, when seeking…
‘Indian Matchmaking’ and ‘A Suitable Girl’ have much in common: producer Smriti Mundhra, match-maker Sima Taparia, and an overwhelming display of complex but problematic routines and notions around arranged marriage. Yet, one is cringe (but binge-worthy), while the other is deeply unsettling. The difference in…
How many places do you visit that you will never see again? I thought this was the standard. You have one-off relationships with different places and cities because life changes. You evolve in life and naturally change: cities, careers, relationships, old selves. Some people consciously make an effort to come back to…
Muito possivelmente eu não vou manter esse diacho de blog atualizado, mas hoje deu vontade de escrever, de falar com as pessoas e nadar numa piscina de academia. Olha que são 3 hábitos que só me fariam bem. Ao longo dos meus quase 48 anos esperando o ônibus que não vem no meio de uma zona que não conheço muito bem.…
With a simple sunshine in the morning can make you feel the warmth and brightens up your entire day. We often take the heat of the sun for granted however this simple useful resource is the reason for our existence, survival and life in general. Watching the rise of the sun and setting of the sun is a beautiful…
