Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
This page serves as my personal digital diary. Due to my overly active mind and severe ADHD, I often forget thoughts that never even make it to my consciousness. It's as if I've thought of everything, but in reality, I'm not thinking at all. The topics covered will range from the silliest reasons to serious thoughts…
I'm writing this while waiting at the entrance of Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay. I'm here to accompany my uncle for his cancer treatment. This Nicheless post has no purpose. It's just a stream of consciousness from the perspective of a person in an unfamiliar situation. Hospitals are a sobering place to spend time…
Writing is something I enjoy doing. Not because it's easy. It's hard, so hard I always avoid it. But It gives me a sense of improvement or fulfillment. ever since I've read "How to take smart notes", I've been writing more and more, for myself. At one point, I wonder "why do I write?" To learn, to think better. So…
1. music -- sometimes music can be punishing ("public" music...the kind you can't shut off at will) but music is a blessing when i'm doing boat work. i've found that the only type of boat work i can really do and the kind that i sort of enjoy is the kind that requires merely the possession of my body, and that leaves…
i'm getting in a cycle of - being afraid of running out of books that i'll consider a "favorite" book or a "five-star read" - frantically searching for books while i'm still reading - constantly reading like 4 books at the same time because i don't want my library loan to run out even tho i could easily renew a loan -…
I was robbing myself by multitasking. I thought by multitasking, I was getting more done. I could check off the boxes and move on to ... more multitasking. Every task was stressful. I was robbing myself of enjoying the process of completing any task. Now I’m consciously trying to be present in what I choose to do at a…
ahhh! today creation is hard. it frustrates me. reoccurring in my mind as an emotion, fades from top to bottom. somewhere in the gradient is the perfect colour that represents the output of my frustration
I'm sitting in my garden enjoying the last moments in my house, fresh air, tranquil and great weather. Time goes by so fast, feels like last week when I would come back to school to this feeling.
During intense work phases, I often find myself deprioritizing social interactions to maintain focus and minimize distractions. While solitude often boosts my productivity and I enjoy my own company, I also realize how much I like to engage with open and inspiring people - they energize me. The last two days, I hosted…
Hello out there !!! Exploring this blogger site, so far good. Simple, yet sufficient space for sharing the thoughts. Checking out the already available bloggers, still didn't find any blog to my like. Will continue. Let's see how far this journey goes.... Have fun, ❤️
Having had a long period where I had no energy or interest in tinkering with any side-projects, the energy now seems to return. Perhaps it is a reflection of a better state of mind. Perhaps it is a reflection of winter in the Northern hemisphere and hence less daylight, but nevertheless the fact remains that I have…
Today has been another day of just constant “Shivani-nelson” static. On top of that, I saw a slack ping from Varun (top boss) on a thread, where he directly addressed me. Here’s me noting down how my body reacted to it; 1. Immediate heart rate increase 2. Sinking feeling in my stomach 3. Thoughts in my mind about -…
I will need to pull out a history book to understand the how and why of how women's nails became a social symbol. My virgo nature, as I write this, makes me want to understand the cosmetic industry, the inventions of why only women got an opportunity to be creative when it come to coloring their nails. I will reserve…
I like how dreams work. (no not the one you see with eyes wide open) Every day is a new beginning. You never know what's coming next. I always wanted to do bungee jumping. It's one of the few dreams I have. but a few weeks back, I just did that in my dreams. The next morning I woke up sad because now I know how it…
“My advice: get paid, do work you’re proud of if that matters to you, then focus on building culture in your community, your friend group, your church, whatever it is that gives you meaning. Work will never be that for you.” Source: https://buttondown.email/justinpot/archive/build-community-outside-of-work/ Me: nods…
You know you used to think Too much motivational speeches and my adrenaline got pumped up But there would be negative awareness or stimulation from my body to balance it out (biological facts) And I’ll feel demotivated. Because I feel others has already been achieving great things in life. And why should I? But now my…
made coffee at 2am again not because i needed energy just wanted to feel like the main character for five minutes
Empathy. Extremely important in the care industry. “You know you’re not being empathetic enough if the person in front of you ain’t crying” - I have always heard. As part of my day job, I am not supposed to be anyone’s therapist, but I end up needing to demonstrate empathy. When I was younger, I stuck to canned…
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…
Estou passando uns dias na casa dos meus pais em São Paulo. Voltar para cá me faz encarar uma realidade de onde às vezes teimo em escapar. Estava refletindo sobre a minha preguiça quando ouvi a minha mãe no cômodo debaixo arrastando o andador para se movimentar pela casa. Ela faz questão de fazer tudo apesar da…
everyone reading ottessa moshfegh makes me want to read MORE ottessa moshfegh to know exactly what i hate about her i read a bit of "homesick for another world" but did not like it i felt it was pointlessly pointless. pointlessness should be enjoyed the way that you enjoy doing nothing on a beautiful sicilian sunday…
Forget your brand for a minute. Think of your personal life, and your own friend circle. Now you obviously don't meet all of them every single day. You probably live close to a few and end up meeting them more often, some you might call for coffee meet ups, one might be your perfect shopping buddy, and some might be…
Hoje eu li bastante. Ontem também. Minhas newsletters estavam acumuladas depois de uma semana intensa no trabalho. Mas hoje eu li um texto da Suleika falando sobre reclamar. E eu tenho muitas reclamações. Seguindo sua recomendação de imaginar um setor público destinado a receber reclamações formais, aí vai. Nome do…
Today, it’s easier than ever to live the life you want. It doesn’t take long scrolling social media to see words like intention, mindfulness, and goals. The question is, do you know what you want? “Nothing will bring you peace except yourself.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson You must know yourself to know what you want. With…
As the title suggests, I am not really addicted to things. I drink alcohol only once every few months, usually with just a few people. I smoke rarely throughout the year, and I only smoke up a few times in the entire year. And all this time, I was proud of being a moderate drinker, someone who didn't cause trouble or…
Got to think that one of the main deterrents acting against a writer’s production is the idea of his readers knowing he thinks or feel certain things. Period.
Frenchman Jules Allix, in the mid-nineteenth century, popularized a kind of organic Internet made out of snails. Drawing upon the physician Franz Mesmer’s theory of “animal magnetism,” which postulated the existence of a universal magnetic force connecting living things, it was predicated upon the idea that any two…
Push for more! There’s always something else to study/that you didn’t know Action Action will lead to more things in the future Act first align yourself to that actions Do with a goal study is for you to be more ready be more powerful save time to study but when you study you need to study well Focus will let you…
As far as I can understand, it's drawing out similarities in two dissimilar things, to further clarify certain things or make things even more comprehendible. Comparing two unlike things based on resemblance of a particular aspect. It's always recommended to talk in compare and contrast terms. Because we tend to…
7.46 AM Tiene varios días que me despierto antes de que salga el sol. Estoy decidiendo si leer o escribir. Crear o consumir. Ayer fue un día interesante, practicando programación en Go, visitando a mi familia. Más un día de descanso que otra cosa. Ah, y viendo por fin el documental de Fyre, que me dejó un sabor…
Hi, I'm using these posts to practice writing. Here's a paragraph to start off with. I've never written before so feel free to express your thoughts on how I'm doing. I don't know where to begin. I can't even imagine how all this started. My first memory is pretty dark. I can recall my mother snuggled up to me for the…
As a positive person, I still have a strong Eeyore characteristic. I have doubts. You seldom hear me express this side of my personality. Acting positive and confident follows the belief that you should act like you want to be. So I appear to have a positive outlook. Which, of course, I do have, except for when I…
The distinct feeling I'M SULLYING THE SPACE WITH MY AWFUL WORDNESS. But it's also nicely distraction-free, conducive to taking more care with my words in general. And I have to say 300 words is a pretty good limit. Hope people keep giving it a try, might turn into something.
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…
Don’t aim to do the easy things. Don’t aim to think the fastest short cuts Think 3 more seconds - work towards the hardest and the best solution always. Remember to not stuck there In solutions Conversations Presenting yourself to others Body language Be fully aware and be putting 100% Say thank you Take initiative…
In the book "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman, there is a distinction made between two aspects of thinking: system one and system two. System one refers to fast and automatic thinking, while system two involves slow and deliberate thought processes. For everyday tasks like opening doors or getting dressed,…
Not really sure how this goes, but I do like the 300 word cap. Halloween was last night and it's always fun to see the kids all dressed up. I'm more of a dress up parent. It feels inauthentic to be walking around on Oct. 31 in your regular people clothes. It's like a no judgement / everyone accepted day. More men opt…
Hoje eu vou escrever dois textos pq me atrasei no dia 9. Não escrevi por conta da ansiedade pra um amigo secreto que eu não queria ir. Bora pro primeiro. Cara, que assustador viver neste país sabendo que a qualquer momento um louco pode fazer qualquer coisa com você, com patrimônio público e praticamente nada…
As a man, a husband, in my forties, who has moved more than 5 times in my life and had to get a new collection of local friends, one piece of advice I wish I could give myself is: never is an opportunity to "get real" with someone. When folks ask: "how's it going?" the reflex is to keep the response as shallow as…
I have decided to quit my job. WITHOUT another job offer in hand. This can be seen as risky, and is highly uncharacteristic for me. I'm known to be a super-careful person. In fact, 4-5 people have told me that not a lot of places are hiring because of the impending recession, startup funding winter and what not. "I've…
The blank page is daunting to even seasoned journalers. Using journaling prompts in the early stages of building a journaling habit solves the blank-page dilemma. There are two strategies for finding journaling prompts. 1.)Buy a journal with prompts Amazon lists 10,000+, ranging from one different question-a-day (yes,…
Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else. While the rest of the old Metallica banger Fade to Black doesn't really apply to this post, I wanted to borrow generously from the past kings to start it. In a remote hyperconnected world, it is easy to…
I don't know yet how this platform works but will slowly see and explore if it fits to what I was looking for.
conheci o nicheless pela newsletter da lalai e me apaixonei logo pelo layout, design e proposta. mas ficava sempre na cabeça a necessidade de firmar um compromisso de escrever todo dia ou coisa parecida. resolvi ser descompromissada. escrever quando quiser, mas quem sabe arranjar um jeito de lembrar mais facilmente de…
We like to think of ourselves as rational decision-makers who are persuaded to accept arguments and ideas on the basis of logical merit. This is laughably divergent from how things really work. The idea itself that humans are rational decision-makers has no basis in empirical observation; it is just some wishful…
Do you have a friend who is in a toxic relationship, and as an outsider, you think, "Why the heck are you still there? Isn't it obvious?" Well, I’ve been on both sides of that situation, and it's easier said than done. As an observer, you don't have any feelings attached, so you look at it more rationally. But…
A capital do país só pode ser de virgem. Destinada a ser eterna obcecada com o progresso que se insiste. Refém de sonhar a casa em ordem na visão de imediatista. Otimista que não sabe que sua parte mais bonita não é ordem, mas é bagunça que se exista. Bagunça de gente, de fé e de mistura que pela luta se resista. Em…
Vcs estão preparados? Eu não estava. Não li o livro (ainda) e não me aprofundei na sinopse. Vi que ganhou prêmios muito legais e muitas pessoas comentando em todas as redes, mas minha resistência para modinhas não me deixou ler o livro (ainda). Sei que parece escroto, mas não posso negar que esse frenesi todo em torno…
