Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
For a long time now, I was eager to write content on a niche topic but was not able to do it due to lack of ideas. Now I have one idea on which I'm focused on, creating guides and publish them for public. The choices that I have to publish these guides on are: LinkedIn, Medium, Substack, Landing pages and website. I…

When was the last time did you try or buy some thing out of your own curiosity or without any feedback? Must have been a very very long time i am sure. Today for everything and anything we have an app and someone would have written a feedback about the product or the service which you want to buy or try. This has made…
Everything is slow - even the money coming in. You should have done something much more; much faster. The money is too slow to come in… The real adulting comes when you think you have enough money to buy something but actually you don’t - you stop and figure out shit you bought is actually still kinda expensive.
Our attitude acts as a powerful lens, transforming how we perceive and experience the world around us. The same task or situation can feel like a burden or an opportunity, a challenge or a chance for growth, all depending on the mindset we bring to it.
Step 4 - There are some things you keep ready in advance, like 2 finely chopped tomatoes, a bunch of coriander leaves, and half lemon. Now add them all to the the cooker. And stir them well. In the figure of eight..? Yes, try. The tomatoes will release a lot of water. Keep stirring well to mash the tomatoes…
I'm kind of tired seeing people sharing unsolicited advice about growth, productivity, finance - all of these things that supposedly make you successful. My definition of "success" is so different from those in my surroundings now, but... it feels so strange to leave so fast when this is all I've known, too. But I…
Hola! Mi nombre es Ivana León, llevo 40 años experimentando la vida en la tierra. Nací en Mendoza, Argentina y vivo en Santiago de Chile. Así es, siempre de un lado y del otro de Los Andes 🏔. Cada miércoles leo el newsletter de Samu Parra. En el último, comentó sobre este espacio en internet sin ansiedad. Pero, ¿Qué…
when i say "addiction" i mean that it is becoming an actual problem i've been indulging in books, thinking, "this is never going to be a problem -- i have never heard of anyone with a book-addiction before scoff" but i've arrived at it and it is terrifying i'm becoming a habitual book reader and i'm not even asking…
A student made a comment in class about "planting the bomb." His teacher asked what he meant, to which he responded by making fart noises. The teacher reported him to admin, admin called the police, and the police hauled the boy off and detained him for making a bomb threat at school. This is a real story from a…
How do my daily actions respond this question? What I have done this week: - Worked until late the past weeks. - Spent 2 hours thinking what did we miss? What questions to we need to ask. With these actions I am getting better at: - Managing a project that I will never get credit for - At getting a "good job" "good…
Hoje eu precisei acionar um familiar pra me ajudar com as demandas de um outro familiar. Porque as pessoas resistem tanto à terapia? Muita coisa séria resolvida com um simples sim. Estou bastante desgastada. Ainda bem que minha psicóloga volta hoje. Só alegria! Ainda estou internada e veio um medico especialista em…
One of the biggest news right now is the deepest image of the universe pictured by NASA through the newly developed James Webb Space Telescope. The picture shows hundreds of galaxies which could not earlier be captured by Hubble, NASA’s old telescope which has been replaced by the Webb. NASA’s website says that…
Used to think about the future. The past. The things I’ve not done. I should be doing this not that. But you used to forgotten that - if you keep worrying about You’re missing out on something that might add up to the pile - the PRESENT! The moment. Never be anxious by controlling yourself, your mindset If you still…
I have always regarded opportunities as rare. Having that mentality does not help in university and, honestly, even in life. I was good at what I did. I am an excellent developer (I study Computer Science). Once people started noticing the quality of my work and the value I charged, the demand for my work increased.…
Growing up, you've probably had your parents tell you to care about what others think. They want you to be respected by society. But when you shrug it off, thinking, "Who cares?" you're not alone. This "respect and status" stuff may seem old-fashioned to Gen Z, but if you look closer, they're still after something…
Good intentions. Plans and goals. Expectations. Reality. The struggle for me is accepting the intentions I have as good enough. I aim to be a good person, to be kind, to remain open, to be healthy and active. But so often, intention is met with opposition. Whether it’s internal or external, what I wish to do gets…
O título do texto anterior ficou estranho. É porque eu coloco o título antes mesmo do texto. E quando eu comecei, eu queria falar sobre pessoas que vivem com câncer... E que é uma doença cada vez mais comum por conta do estilo de vida humano. Não estou culpando pessoalmente ninguém. Estou falando que os…
Remember V from furniture? He’s moving through life pretty quick Be like him Put your mind into it Never focus of the past The future abit Think of the present mostly Like he could’ve finished what I was studying within 3 hours Because he wouldnt have thought he had “enough” and rest of a bit; did a good job etc…
Today has been one of the most exhausting days i have had in a while. If i take a look at what i did today in terms of work: 1. Call with Harsh: 30 mins 2. Call with Shriya: 15 mins 3. Bliss club Interview: 1 hour 4. Call with NGO: 30 mins 5. Sleep: 2 hours 6. Freak out about salary: 40 mins 7. Warehousing call: 30…
I struggled with mental health issues for many, many years. They have been compounded by a stubborn insistence on "figuring it out myself." Over the last few years, I have finally started making progress, and I'm mostly healthy, happy, and more understanding. Over the last few months, I've been diving back into…
So it's my turn of having a car that will remain mostly unused in the parking lot of my building, as I work from home. Never thought I would ever have a car, because I don't need one, but the hard winter of Canada, the long waiting time for public transportation in the cold, and the hassle that is now using the car…
Today, I hiked in a remote area. It was beautiful, but very muddy and slippery, and I fell a few times. Nothing more than wet feet and dirty clothes resulted, but it made me think what could happen if something serious occurred. Today, we have emergency services ready to deploy with cars, boats, and helicopters.…
Do Not Hand Wave over Important Topics The gift of written communication outside of Twitter and Nicheless is that the word count is generally boundless. We can dive into any point and pull our selves back out to any level of abstraction that we want to. When and where to dive into writing is art, not science. But such…
did you close your eyes? i miss the old you i know people change but you didn't have to why did you leave? cant you see? it's tearing all apart come back, please i will always wait i will always pray i will try to not lose hope i will love you through our storm
Take a new leap of faith Read the book Go to events Go to sports meet new people Travel the world for half a year Talk to people you wanted to talk to Listen to podcast Ask for a raise Don’t escape from the hard things in life by short term dopamines (insta, fb, YouTube, dinner, sleep, etc…) Put your mind in it Put an…
i mean, why not just write it in a private journal? or go the other way and book-publish all your thoughts? just look at sheila heti, publishing a catalogue of thoughts from her diary alphabetized from a-z (she is so busy that she can't even organize them by theme NOT TO BORROW SCHOPENHAUER'S IDEAS LEST HE CALL ME A…
Okay, some more thinking. Maybe I can relate now with what Nelson went through when I started dating Musti. He said he found it mean that I was being so lovey dovey in front of him. That I was doing things and showing affection for musti that I never showed Nelson and that he always craved. Perhaps I’m going to feel…
To be not listening to breakup songs Put yourself into position that will not let you feel deep into your own sorrow That’s pretty stupid Think of everyone else - why do Elon Musk and some successful people can achieve so much Because they do not fell into the bug feeling melancholic emotions There’s so much other…
1. Protect attention Help users control their attention. Don’t rely on growth and retention strategies to hijack attention with unnecessary demands, distractions, and requests. - Can we design to minimize the consumption of attention, both on and off screen? - Can we consider where adding delays or friction could help…
Since I retired in June, I've struggled with feeling like I am doing enough. I stay busy and accomplish a lot. For some reason, changing from full-time to retirement makes me think I should do more than I am. I think I found the secret to feeling good about slowing down. Stop worrying about the next thing. Be and stay…
Cheguei em Berlim após 25 horas de viagem porta a porta. É uma terça-feira, a noite está gelada, mas menos do que eu esperava. Há uma semana o termômetro marcava -8ºC, o que me apavorou por não ter roupa adequada para encarar o frio na viagem do aeroporto até em casa, mas para a minha surpresa está 8ºC positivo, o que…
I find myself mindlessly following small details around stuff I have no interest in, hour after hour, achieving nothing. It's not just me. We are all flooding our systems with more irrelevant information than ever before, and the more there is the less we can focus on any one piece. This increase in the volume of…
i just called myself "we" like i'm fucking King Henry the VIII
In a culture that often emphasizes balance and self-compassion, advice to avoid being too hard on oneself is common. Phrases like “It’s not good to be so strict!” or “You shouldn’t force yourself!” may seem well-intentioned, but I believe they reflect a misunderstanding of self-discipline and personal growth. While…
My boat stands still Soaking in the calm sea; A moment to ponder. -khyati I remember the late morning when I clicked this picture at a jetty near my home. It was about 11 am on a weekday. But the thick cloud cover made it seem like a late evening. Very few people have the privilege to loiter around on a weekday…
there are artists and then there are Other People and i'm having a hard time not devaluing those other people. but who are they? what do they do? what is their MO? i'm not sure how to trust them.
I have always found myself constantly searching for that one thing that will turn my life around. That one solution that will solve all my problems and make everything better. I remember times when I have lacked patience and have sought instant results. For instance,when I started doing yoga, I wanted to do advanced…
I had another heavy conversation with my mom today. I’ve noticed she often has these outpouring sessions ever so periodically where she shares her pain and hurtful past incidents with me. 1. I’ve noticed a lot of repetition in the stories she narrates and I believe these are unresolved issues and conflicts that she…
During a conversation today I had a bit of difficulty describing what it means to express oneself. After several false starts that kept falling back on circular definitions, eventually we arrived at something that seemed to fit: doing something that makes one feel alive. On the face of it, it seems rather silly to…
I'm almost 51 and my body has taken this fifth decade to declare that it requires attention, consistent healthy habits and quite possibly some medication to prop up the system.
How to gain 10 million followers in 6 months? How to earn 10 million dollars in 1 year? Aren't we all in this race to get results instantly? Aren't we guilty of comparing ourselves to others all the time? Your story will always be yours. You can't diminish your sparkle by comparing yourself to others. Because it is a…
i have been thinking of my design ethos. i find the best way to develop is by listening to mentors. they way the speak. the way the create. the language they present. all have underlying fundamentals which can be adapted to my own thinking. i believe this is how to truly think outside-of-the-box...
We're taught to practice with only one colour. We're taught to choose only one niche to excel in life. Jack of all trades is master of none, right!? But, did you know the original version of this quote has another line? It says, "Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." It…
Have a different flavour One room has mismatched socks Another, discarded earrings And yet another a space on a pillow. The kitchen is silent too Empty vessels that make no sound Wine and water turned to stains On spoons and rims of glasses. And the flowers on the balcony Nod silently And bloom regardless. December…
i'm looking for something i realized that i write to solve my problems and find clarity but since my problem is quite large now, i'm gathering much concentration and this is all i think about. i've been asking all my friends. i'm trying to solve something that no one has ever solved. but if the answer is out there,…
This is hard to admit, but I've been struggling with reading long form content. Today, I opened an article, and half way through, I put my phone down cos I just couldn't take it. I forced myself to go back and read the rest of it. It's worrying me that my attention is not mine anymore, and there's a bunch of reading I…
Today we had a lawyer friend of my dad and his 19 year old son who is about to study law visiting. In our conversation we started discussing AI and the future. This not only highlighted my deep immersion in the tech world but also surprised and somewhat triggered me by seeing once again just how naive some educated…
