Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Imagine yourself inside one of many sections - zoom the screen - you see small circles of “players” Life is literally a series of choices in a game You feeling anxiety (thinking yourself not doing the right things); And not thinking because you have no one to compare to ie comfort zone But once you know about “there’s…
ironic isn't it? the things we run from loom near like shadows, inescapable contorted and twisted into new forms sometimes even be mistaken for something new entirely no use in trying to run - instead delaying the inevitable power drawn from denial of its existence a brief respite, just enough to get by what's the…
These areas may be stand-alone, aligned, interplay, or coalesced with others and represent how I show up in the world. What I choose to do (and not do) is rooted in how I identify the external world in context of my values and strengths. R|CAT (Resource Catalysts) aka FLYWHEEL role: CONSULTANT ... business owner…
There’s one simple rule for beginning journalers about what time to journal every day. Journal at the same time every day. You are building a habit. You want to be consistent. The time you choose to journal dictates your consistency. Consider these three factors when choosing your time. Your typical day: Is there a…
The last few weeks, I've unknowingly put myself under great pressure in becoming more than what I am now. How did I know? I noticed a pattern of disassociating from my wants, needs, life. I craved for a type of satisfaction I don't know how to fulfill. I slept it off, I ate it off, I drank it off. I went away. There's…
All human organizations are hierarchical. Decision-making is concentrated near the top of the hierarchy. One can conceptualize the organization as a complex function whose input is information, which flows upward into the decision-making strata of the hierarchy, and whose output is power, which subsequently flows…
You've read or heard the quote before. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. - Albert Einstein It's a very famous one thrown around online to the point that's almost becoming a cliché. And yet... That's what many people do daily, myself included some times...…
You probably read that time and was like "wooow super revolutionary concept dude, you're a genius!". Or something like that. But the point stays even in days like today. And yes. This is related to my entry from the previous day. I've received a few emails from folks who are like "I hate Black Friday and I'm not going…
O último gole de álcool que tomei foi na virada do ano. Prometi começar 2023 aderindo a um detox alcoólico, aqui chamado de "Dry January", campanha que muita gente abraça no começo do ano ao lado do "Veganuary", mas eu achei muita coisa para dar conta e só abracei a primeira. "Beber menos álcool" está sempre nas…
Of a 5 year long relationship, I have continued to focus on a few key incidents that occurred much earlier on, and these incidents have coloured every single thing in our relationship. While I never remembered any of the positives ever again in the future, any of the slightest negatives later had an exponential…
Today I submitted my thesis and fully enjoyed life afterwards. Cooking great food, laying in the sun, kayaking in the lake, enjoying the sunset next to the water, going into a woodfired sauna - I kind of understand now, why Finnish people are the happiest in the world.
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…
Scene 1 Driver rang the door bell for car keys. Father goes to the main door and is off in the car with the driver. He is back in 5 minutes. I ask mother where did he go that he is back so quickly. He never goes for morning walks. Mother says he went with the driver to refuel the car so that the driver can now go run…
Maybe this is a lesson in never taking anything for granted. I’m not even sure why and how we’ve landed at this place, but we have. Questioning the foundation of something I never thought I’d need to question. Because this was the axiom upon which everything was built. But I guess, here we are. Time to wait and see…
Here's an idea. Record player Pomodoro timer. I'm sure you've heard of the Pomodoro productivity technique where you do deep work for 25 minutes, then take a 5 minute break, then back to 25 minutes of deep work. You repeat this rhythm for your allotted time, until you get the project done, etc. It allows for a good…
We must spend and manage these well in order to achieve our best experience of life. Time is the toughest as once we spend it we cannot get it back, so we must cautious in how we spend it. This is a difficult thing to do though, as we human beings love love. We love being loved and we love showing love, and one of the…
So far so good I suppose, I'm comparing this experience to my micro.blog experience. The "write post" editor is not quite up to my standards and could use some improvement but it works very well. It feels like I'm writing in notepad, and I hate writing in notepad. Maybe I'll come back here and update my post with more…
The graver division in society is not between those who support one side of an ideological position, but between levels of devotion and objectivity to the ideological position. Between LOYALISTS and LEANERS. The loyalists find no wrong in their positions, and those who subscribe to them. If there's any fact, any line…
some of the first things that i want to read now, before i really start reading a book, is the "about the author" section and i've noticed that it is usually like - birth year - birth place - current place of residence and it's like: why? why is this the info they choose to share? and when talking about artists of any…
I know this phase for a long time. But only now did it occur to me, most of the things I wanted, or Future is already here. I just didn't know ( Discovery ) and it is not well distributed ( Distribution ). I.e It is still the same old Discovery and Distribution Problem. How do we solve this? What can we do to help.…
After a week long detention in the Tihar jail One of the too reasons this movement has become such a huge success is because how the leadership has operated with so much honesty and candor. The page blew up. They admitted that even they did not anticipate this. And that they will figure it out along the way. Because…
Regardless of what you're doing or wanting to do. Everything that you can do that's relevant and has chance to be impactful has one thing in common. That commonality is something you can see behind every successful author, musician, artist, entrepreneur, etc. And I'm not referring to putting in the work and getting…
Eu lembro exatamente o momento que tive meu primeiro contato com a meditação. Por algum motivo (que eu imagino que fosse grana), estava ansiosa e minha namorada na época falou pra eu deitar relaxada e seguir a voz dela. Foi meu primeiro escaneamento corporal, também conhecido body scan. Lembro que dormi, de tão…
“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” The Bard had wisdom it’s clear. Were a “rose” called a “plinth”, it would be just as pretty. Perhaps we’d have babies called Billy-Plinth? Is it true therefore that it doesn’t matter what you call your brand? If the product, service or values and…
Our world is shaped by shared myths What is a shared myth anyway? Shared myths are things which has zero or near zero intrinsic value by itself.Its value is provided by the people believing in them.They lose their value if everyone stops believing Most people do things for Pleasure,Money & Religion Money does not have…
Pari hey. Let’s be real. Are you feeling bad that Shivani is dating Nelson? And if so, why? I think yes, I am. And maybe it’s because I’m feeling like her liking nelson enough to date him is like her taking his side? This person, whom I carry so much grudge and dislike and disrespect for, my own best friend (Who I was…
Most of the work I am most excited to accomplish feels nebulous in nature. Maybe it's partially my level of current understanding (true expertise is abstraction/compression of complex ideas into mental models, frameworks, puns, analogies and stories), but living in the unknown is one of my most favorite feelings. In…
Call me A.S.J. Just turned 16. Dont expect some Shakespeare words in my blog.I mostly use this like a digital diary when i have a shitty day or im going through smth. My interest -linkin park -cry of fear -afraid of monsters -nu-metal -playing musical instrument (guitar & piano) -video games -midnight -silence -music…
one thing i've always been shy to admit was that i always wanted my birthday to fall on a weekday because it meant that i could finally get attention from my friends or have a day all meant for me. birthdays are a funny concept - celebrating the day you were born when all i've wanted to do was dissapear. still, its…
Its not an existential question, more of an introduction if you have stumbled here and thought - "who is this, why should I place any value on what they have written?" Like all of us, I'm many things, depending on how you know me. Personally, I'm a father of two teenagers and husband to a funny and patient wife.…
Human biases and vulnerabilities are inherent and hardwired. They have evolved to help us survive in an ancient environment, not our modern one. These evolutionary tendencies are now being exploited by technology. It’s important that we begin to see products in terms of human vulnerabilities. Just because we look at…
I can't begin to count the number of new beginnings I have declared. Maybe it's my perfectionist streak in me that demands this. Maybe I should fix this, maybe not. But I do hope to make this one count. There are a few things, I aim to implement in my life. Firstly, thinking about mine and others' failures. I'm going…
Let me first explain describe the situation - I have plans and things I want to do, they are not that hard to do but for some reason, I just cannot take the first step. Laziness, procrastination, being too comfortable, lack of desire of doing the thing that I thought I wanted, burnout, lack of discipline - the actual…
Every time something bad happens to me i always think about how i could have avoided it had i known all the intricacies of the problem. I think i wish i consulted people apriori. As it is often said hindsight is the best insight. Another perspective to this is had i known all the intricacies would i be putting myself…
Governments the world over, want to be able to exert better control over Twitter. So far their only options have been to enact laws that compel the company to shape its behavior in particular ways. But Twitter is a global company that has to abide by the laws and regulations of all the countries in which it operates.…
Todd Rose, director of Harvard's Mind, Body and Education program, and computational neuroscientist Ogi Ogas set out to understand why some people had fulfilling, successful careers. 45 of the first 50 people they interviewed had unusually winding career paths. They were embarrassed about how they jumped from one…

Everybody knows that the quickest way to kill a hobby is to turn it into a profession, i.e., to get paid to do it. A hobby is an activity performed for its own sake. The reward is the pleasure derived from performing the activity itself, generally accompanied by some progression of technical or artistic skill over…
Be it in relationships, careers, personal development, or any other line of interest. The core is and always has been the same. "Keep doing small intentional efforts" Without this the relationship feels like it has come to an end or at the very least you feel unloved. You can't make Career change, personal development…
(original: 2010 August 03) i connect dots. random? NO. shuffling around of dots? ALWAYS. including people? YES. mindmapping in motion ... i often find myself connecting events, information, people, and activities that seem unrelated to some but are (or should be) related. back in 1995, i called it POE's Corner -…
Today I had a goodbye dinner with my parents at a nice restaurant, before leaving for San Francisco tomorrow. It was the same restaurant where we have been for a goodbye dinner nearly exactly two years ago, before I left for my exchange semester to Taiwan. It felt melancholic to have a similar moment again. And it…
I love the phrase "I'm so lucky." No matter the circumstances, every time I say, "I'm so lucky," I find countless positive things in a day, no matter what happens. Our van door fell off, we had the worst food ever, or I had a headache. But on those same days, we drove through Scotland, stayed in front of beautiful…
- An observation from today's preparation for a hackathon. - In a complex world, we tend to think complex solutions are needed. Yet, simplicity often leads to better results. Overcomplicating things can obscure the real issues, making solutions hard to implement and maintain. We don't always need to match complexity…
Be very engaged in conversations The way you put your energy and soul into thinking things Will changed your perspective and yourself to the outside world Like how you talk to subcon You gotta be mentally prepared Very very prepared even your face has to be smiley all day else your PM will think you’re angry It’s a…
ahh i started a new design process for a creative output. it is foreign to me because i have not used that technology to inform design choices, yet it is familiar to me because i typically use reference material to inform my creations. its exciting to think of where this creative output will go...
ahhh dont let design go around in circles, indefinitely. it must stop at some point, when is that point...
no yeah i definitely think of myself as an artist. &i like how matty healy talks about his music as "art" and not as "music" like most musicians do matty healy is attractive to me in a special way, like i like his...personality
"Meditate, meditate, meditate in remembrance of Him and find peace". "When you feel you are without me, listen close, I whisper louder, when you miss me most." The first sentence is from Sukhmani Sahib and the other sentence is from a poem by Donna Ashworth ''Miss Me Most''. Put together, for me, they capture the very…
