Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
This day was one of those days that looks like the beginning of the end for remote work. The day started off with our retro. And while there were 10 people in the "room", no one added anything to the virtual retro board. Now frankly, I could give a shit about which rituals we employ to book-end our sprints, whether we…
Being you is therapy to your soul heart and brain .But yes it is not easy and can be lonely most of times! But cherishing your own self your ideals your perspectives of life can be so soothing ! Stop chasing to be like someone who you don’t want to be like . Be YOu & your brain can rest in your skull taxfree
I've recently been feeling like the effects of pandemic burnout were at once stronger and more severe than I ever considered. That's besides the plain fact of contracting Covid twice along the way. Shit has been rough. Sleep overtakes me even after God doses of espresso and cold brew. Fresh air can help, but sometimes…
I’m living on an island close enough to a town. While I’m living with my parents, I’ve also lived with my friends all day. I’m active and love to swim. Challenging myself to do a task takes effort but I’m able to do it. I took up surfing one summer and that has been my identity now. I am not a sports person but I can…
Probably not. But for sure we can control how they control our actions. That's why writing your thoughts is the most important thing. Call it Journaling or not. But jotting it down and reflecting on those thoughts, help us see ideas. As ideas usually come at the intersection of thoughts. That's why a system where you…
Giving a talk to 3rd and 4th years next Monday about the challenges and opportunities of tech industry. Discovered Nicheless and am very curious to see the types of expression and community available here over time.
One thing I hope to use this medium for is getting the phone out of my hand so much. Do. Do. Do. That's what I want. To do. But instead, I scroll. Incessantly. For some reason I feel like something miraculous is just around the next flip of the thumb. Sometimes, yes, something interesting does come up, but rarely is…
Comecei uma nova série. New girl estava na minha lista ha anos. Eu conheço a atriz que interpreta Jess como cantora. Então, está sendo legal ver ela nesse papel de comédia também. Olhos grandes e azuis. Claro, a série tem uma vibe meio pick me girl. Meio "nossa como eu sou estranha e preciso da aprovação desses…
It’s just decisions who make up who you are Waking up rather than staying on bed is not a choice someone ask you to do or “you didn’t have a choice” It’s how you decide to use your best knowledge for everything you do
before i left italy, i was perfectly content. now that i've been to indonesia for 2 months, i am so fucking bored back in italy. my life in italy before we left consisted of: - friends (who are now kind of scattered) - books but half the books i was about to read are about tiny north american problems which seem so…
Hoje li a newsletter de Clarissa Wolff onde ela diz: "Nos seus diários, Sylvia se rebelava contra o mundo masculino em que vivia, alegando que nascer mulher era uma tragédia. Ela rejeitava o papel de protetora das emoções dos homens e das questões de casa, buscava a segurança de andar sozinha à noite, poder viver o…
I felt energetic today. I went to office and distracted myself with work. Felt like I can be doing more work and that I am not doing my role justice. FOMO max. I had a bit of spotting. Spent a few hours feeling nervous because doctor suggested I do a scan tomorrow. I spent some time doing a puzzle which always relaxes…
Digital screens are replacing mechanical switches in more and more places—from your car to your thermostat. It is certainly more modern. But is it more effective? I noticed a stark difference in ease of use when apartment maintenance came around to replace our analog thermostat, the circle kind that you twist to set…
I asked fate for courage and fate gave me situations to become brave. I asked fate for success and fate made me earn it. I asked fate for strength and fate gave me the opportunity to become stronger.
One of the first questions a therapist asks when you start therapy is "Tell me about your childhood." There is a stigma attached to mental health and while the world at large has started to make peace with that now, there's still shame attached to bad parenting. My childhood was spent in survival mode. My parents had…
ahh my imagination has been sparked by a utopian concept by Superstudio. 'The Third City: New York of Brains' is a concept where a cube houses 10,000456 living brains so they can survive humanity's destruction. however i imagine what if humanity is never destroyed? we will be able to go visit this place, it would be…

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…
As I currently sit on the rooftop of my co-living community, I’m reflecting on what I’m grateful for during the past year here. One of the most beautiful experiences has been witnessing how everyone contributes something unique to the community based on what they love and who they are. I’m constantly trying to push…
Let me hold you a little longer Let me pretend you're mine to keep Let me tell you " I Love You " ever and forever again.
Today, I had a really nice Zen day. I'm in Crestone, CO visiting for a month. I enjoyed the mountain view and the local library, where I read a book about stillness and being present in your moment. Last night, I contacted our Airbnb host to ask about why my trash had not been picked up. The response kicked me out of…
i hate how much i loved your laugh. i hate how lonely all of this growth feels. i hate that you never celebrated my hard work. i hate that i tried. i hate that i loved your car. i hate that i loved every bit of that part of you that made me hate myself. i hate that i stayed. i hate that i waited while your mouth…
Hie there, I'm a college pass out student and really looking forward to getting into a good job (Which is in the IT dept. imo). But there are times when I feel completely exhausted as I'm working on several projects and also learning so many new things about programming. I guess this time shall pass and soon I'll be…
I'm guilty of doom surfing. I spend most of my time on StreamRing... you know the drill: press the 'Random' button and watch people from all over the globe trying to get famous. This is what I do while having dinner. The other day I got a weird one: An anon account streaming an old computer showing just text. Well,…
I want more harmony. That feeling of recognition when these are fitting into place. I want that joy of knowing that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I want that specificity... The knowing that my life is of a unique design. Co-created with God. Joyful. Full of peace. Not void of pain.. But under-girded by the…
Recently, I've noticed an uptick in conversations around 'content.' Too many creators want to decide what should be called content and what shouldn't. Most comparisons stem from a sense of self-superiority on "the process" one has, before one publishes or creates. The complaint is usually one or the other variations…
I have always felt a lingering conflict about why people who take care of themselves get deadly diseases. Isn't it better to not care about our health, if anyway we're gonna get those XYZ diseases? Why unnecessarily cut down on sugar? Why count calories for every meal intake? Take an example: Person X is a fitness…
I'm sure you do. We all do. I like the colour variations and how it suddenly makes us pause whatever we're doing. Something powerful there about yielding that kind of influence without really trying, no? I guess that's what beauty does - doesn't try. But sunsets also signify the day's transition. A sunset makes that…
The mundane daily motions of life often happen without much thought to the big picture of life. The thought lurks in the background, but is generally entangled and lost in the mental haze of daily grind. Important takes the back seat, to cede to urgent. Whatever remains of the time when you aren't working and aren't…
Olhando para fotos antigas, fotos essas que nunca soube da existência, também me peguei olhando para sentimentos que outrora não sabia do gosto. É curioso como são tortuosas as linhas que transportam sangue do coração para o cérebro, um caminho tão curto, mas ainda sim de diferenças metafóricas enormes. ♫ so baby,…
Imagine a time when the institutional machinery (read: governments & other agents that mass-organise people and resources) successfully pulls off something beyond belief. I am not talking about the run-of-the-mill political propaganda. I am talking about upheaving lives and livelihoods in a single decision. (Think the…
Imagine if a team could share ownership of a company's social media presence without being told what to do and without a huge amount of process or formality getting in the way. The way I see it, a company exists to help people solve a problem. They already have a group of the most qualified people to solve that…
More need to realize the age we as a species will soon enter. While the old system titters at the brink, the dawn of a new way of life will follow quickly and make the suffering of this age die like a bad habit. Let me explain (and this is the perfect platform to do this). Every technology we’ve built has iterated…
Listen to more podcast. W.o.w just Be more accepting. The charismatic people are usually competent - but doesn’t necessarily means JUST smart. It means knowing the stuff but knowing how to convey as well. It’s good to have the ability to stop 🛑 1. 2. 3. But within these 3 seconds you’re actually buying time to…
Message to myself 2 years ago: There are different ways of looking at the world than the way that you look at the world. This fact feels obvious to you, but the part that doesn’t is: it’s really easy to dismiss those other ways as less real, relevant, meaningful, realistic. The aversion you have to looking at the…
I was about 11-12 I think when I first fell in love. I’ve fallen in love many times since. They say first love lasts forever, true to an extent. Then you have the second love which hits even harder than the first and you think this is it. We are gonna make it. Only to have it all come crashing down. I’ve seen the pack…
Remember when paper towel dispensers were exclusively mechanical? They did not require a source of electricity. Fewer moving parts. No motion sensors, no motors, lower cost of manufacturing. Sturdy, reliable, efficient. K.I.S.S. Sometimes, ascending the technological hierarchy results in superior products. Fuel…
Is 'should' an inspiring word? When you say "We should do ...", "let's try to", it comes off argumentative and attempts to remove pressure from oneself. Replace with "I'd like to do", "I'd prefer to". These phrases take ownership and inspire
"For my theme song, my leather black jeans on" are the two first bars on Kanye's song "Black Skin Head" from his album "Yeezus". If you don't know the background of the album, Yeezus, it's basically a huge "fuck you" to the entire hip-hop industry and it's Kanye truly accepting who he is as a person and doing whatever…
i like volcanoes the same way i like indie movies and indie books: volcanoes are different from "normal" landmasses but they're also different from each other i've been on two volcanoes: Kīlauea on Hawai'i and Mt. Etna on Sicily my favorite is Mt. Etna i am curious about this one volcano in Indonesia which has "blue…
15 years ago, Dhoni captained the Indian team to victory against the Sri Lankan Lions for the first time on the island. As a sports industry professional, what's remarkable about the image above is the commotion behind the boundary line, rather than the stunning batting partnership. Given an opportunity, not a single…
It is difficult to think where you’ll be at any point in the future. Things don’t always go to plan. So, what is the point of setting goals? On our default path (ie. 9 to 5 job - thanks Paul Millerd) we are asked to make targets or objectives relative to what we know today. What we think we’ll want to tomorrow. But we…
I’ve been so supportive to Shivani. I’m so excited for her. That is true. But I’m also going through pain but don’t want her to have to see this because I don’t want it to affect her relationship. I can already imagine nelson saying “oh, you’re such a liar, you’re such a fake, yada yada” Fuck off okay? Take your own…
I'm currently reading a highly recommended history of the American Revolution. It's a fairly big book with nearly 800 pages, and I'm about a third through. I'm not going to write much about the book itself, because I plan to write a more detailed review when I finish. I like history and read a lot of history books.…
Digital productivity apps - shiny object buffet of apps with low to high caloric brain-nourishment value One's lived experiences deserves to be housed where the moments will be organized, tended, and loved Home sweet home, especially your digital home. --- My love letter to friends who ask if they should switch apps.…
Assistindo a um documentário sobre invenções que nos poupam tempo (ou não), pensei em viagens no tempo, e em como estamos viajando no tempo, mas apenas em uma direção: para o futuro. É uma viagem contínua, sem volta, e cada segundo que passou foi aproveitado ou perdido. Mas como julgamos se estamos aproveitando ou…
When there is pink and gray in a sunset, the pink stands out because of the contrast. On a cloudy day after a sunny one, we might not always appreciate the clouds, but after days of rain, a single cloudy day with no rain feels like a gift. Why can't we enjoy it as it is, feeling fortunate for a cloudy day, which has…
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,…
Bom, vamos lá. VIRADOURO, NÉ? CAMPEÃ, na minha opinião! Que lindeza a homenagem que fizeram pro mestre Ciça na Sapucaí. O desfile foi surpreendente do inicio ao fim. Todo mundo lindo, feliz e, mais importante, emocionado. Realmente, tem gente que faz muita diferença né? Ele próprio estava emocionadíssimo, totalmente…
