A world of little thoughts.

Most of us work towards building a life you don't need to escape from. A free life. "F(ree) You". There are few moments in life where your perspective to life alters completely. One such event was when my investments started to cover my monthly expenses and beyond. I managed to reach this point owing to many reasons,…
Problem-solving is a skill we begin practicing in infancy. Problems never go away. Our strategies for solving them change with age and practice. Use journaling as a strategy for dealing with frustrations, problems, and negative emotions. Even if you don't journal daily, writing your thoughts gives you an opportunity…
(original: 2006 March 29) ... o.k., susan ... i'll play Four jobs you have had in your life: 1. smaller leather goods salesperson in dept. store 2. plastic lid putter-onner for canned food stuff 3. junior chemist (summer) 4. working for the voices in my head Four movies you would watch over and over: 1. shawashank…
Tried weights to stretch my ears for the first time. They seem to work very well. I’m trying to get back to 38mm like I had a few years ago. I went from 32mm to 35mm with this first time using the two 32g weights. I think I’m going to stay at this size for awhile and let my ears get use to it before I try moving up…
I know other journalers through my online writing cohort and social media connections. I don’t know other journalers among my family, friends, and acquaintances. When others find out I journal, they express admiration. In my visual journaling class, I was the only one who journaled. Even the instructor didn’t journal!…
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…
furthermore, i think city folk and even suburbanites should go back to the countryside (because that's where everyone is from, originally; and before that, the wilderness) and start farming again i'm preaching the opposite of that movie "interstellar" where they make farming a dirty ignoble thing and make high-tech…
after going to indonesia, my appetite for experiencing the world has been awakened, for the first time (before this trip, i was excited to talk to people from different places, but didn't necessarily see the point in actually /going/ anywhere...and despite that, i had somehow visited 20 countries so everyone in my…
i love patti smith's writing but i've never really like, gotten into the musician side of her and because "just kids" focuses so much on that, i got curious and so i'm watching a 1977 interview+concert of her and i'm shocked that she (1) has a new york accent (2) sounds so damn confident and opinionated in person…
ahhhhh i feel to create a more relatable design it helps to introduce imperfection. it provides the end user to continue the process of creation making the outcome more unique...
I used to be a born fan of top-down approach. I never could wrap my head around small things if I couldn't figure about the existence and why of things. And that's okay while you're learning but innovation can't be done this way you need to solve a lot of small puzzles to figure out how to solve the larger one or even…
Focusing is like a mythological beast to me, something you heard of from many but never saw with your own eyes. Whenever I decide to start my study session, even if I feel my willpower strong as a rock, i quickly lose everything, finding myself staring at the void of a white wall. My productivity has vanished and I…
I noticed a tendency in some of my friends. I judged them. Then, I noticed it within myself. --- We're all convinced that the choices we've made in life are superior to those made by others, especially when it comes to our careers. Doctors believe that the medical profession is the most honorable way to spend a human…
ایکیگای ۴ محور اصلی دارد. کارهایی که دوست داریم انجام دهیم، کارهایی که در آنها مهارت داریم، کارهایی که از آنها می‌توانیم کسب درآمد کنیم و در نهایت کارهایی که جهان به آنها نیاز دارد. از چه کاری هیچ وقت خسته نمی‌شویم؟ چه مواقعی خیلی خوشحال هستیم؟ هنگام انجام چه کاری گذر زمان را متوجه نمی‌شویم؟ در گذشته چه کاری ما را سر…
posts in the discover tab only shows posts from 2022, wonder if this platform is still active.
The weight of 40ºC heat is torture, but that's nothing compared to the endless search for purpose. Ok, that's all the whining for now. Boredom sucks, but it serves a purpose. I managed to write again after months of nothing. I'm not doing it every day, but it'll do for now. So let's see. I just discovered the work of…
Intuition is subconscious pattern matching. When your gut tells you something feels right, it's often smart to listen, even if you can't rationalise your reasoning. However, there are situations where listening to your gut is a dumb idea. Here are a few rules I try to follow, although I usually fail: (1) Don't rely…
Mais um dia em BH. Hoje vou sair de novo, claro, mas assim que vai ser: vou levar meu livro, vou ir no mercado novo, comer um pão de queijo, almoçar por lá mesmo e depois partiu cinema. Vou ficar lá até o final da tarde e depois voltar pra casa. Aí si, si! Tô cansada de andar. Gostoso porém chega. Falando em andar, as…
The internet has given rise to a new genre of humorous content and I personally love it! The ones I find particularly amusing are around wine and comparing it to life. ''Yoga Class? I thought you said Pour a Glass''. You get the drift. When did wine become such an ubiquitous part of corporate lore? I for one of course…
i have been yearning to see you. It's been a while, i search for you everywhere. airports, flights, streets, restaurants, monuments. i know tears will run down my cheeks when i see you. i want to give you a big hug. and that's the dream you took away from me you came to campus. you saw me. you didn't say hi. we spoke…
Also I don’t wanna jinx it but I’m liking this Murakami book so far. It’s like the type of movie I like to watch for reasons unknown. The kind where nothing really happens but you meet people. There is no goal. You wander and meet characters. Kinda like Alice in wonderland. And the new Glass Animals album is good.…
What percentage of your time is spent consuming and what percentage is spent practicing being the person you aspire to be? When you are growing into adulthood, it is natural that you are a big consumer of information on the worlds around you. And of all the options you have of dealing with that world. However,…
All what we did was based on subconscious…? -B Consciousness is just a self-explanation to our actions/behaviour? Doesn’t mean that your fate is set - whatever experiences you faced is the subconscious that decides on what you’re already taken And your conscious mind is the aftereffects Humans have emotions and that…
I just finished a delightful read on Substack. I’m consistently in awe at the volumes of good writing that’s just waiting to be read out there. It will take no less than a miracle to find these pieces. For as many templatized, SEO-optimized, value-because-it-monetized pieces out there – I think there might just be as…
There is something fascinating about eating a ''foreign'' food. A food that we have not eaten growing up, and then when we discover or eat it for the first time, the entire experience is mysterious! Since we really don't know what it was supposed to taste like, we have an open mind in wanting to learn more about it.…
i've apparently made it a quasi-tradition to start editing a new site or writing a new blog post (or if i'm feeling super ambitious, both!) right on the new year. two years ago it was substack, last year it was buttondown, and now it's omg.lol (and here too, i suppose). last night i entered the new year alone (with my…
When studying something Im not particularly a fan of I just eat, not because of hunger, but because of the necessity to stay awake. This happens even if I try all the tips and tricks from studying with other people, taking breaks, sitting in the right positions, making it interactive... my eyes just close. Starting to…
My birthday is February 14. I have a week to decide what gift I should ask for that is going to define my life. Snowboard pants? A raspberry pi to run a Bitcoin full node? My wife asked me what she should nudge the kids to get me: post-apocalyptic graphic novels or a young adult lit book in Spanish. These are the…
Yeah, you expect me to believe dinosaurs were mega-huge? And then animals just stopped being so big arbitrarily? Oh we-ow there's not as much oxygen or whatever - so T'Rex woul've been dog sized if it had allergies? Isn't it interesting that the dinosaurs just happen to get bigger the older the fossil is? Don't…
Yesterday, I was watching my some random reels and one of them I could totally connect to. I feel like I’ve lived my whole life trying to not take up too much space. It’s so liberating to have found vocabulary to describe exactly how you’ve been feeling your entire life. I see it in all parts of my life. Personal and…
Aĥĥ there is joy to find in thinking about how others create. their process, their thoughts, their ethos. some i can see clearly, while others make me wonder more. it is the latter who interest me most because whatever they create next, it will communicate another hint into how they create...
How many social media websites will it take for us to stop feeling lonely? It's so easy to like an instagram post, to make a tweet, to add friends on facebook. So easy to feel interesting, admired, validated. We continue to cast our nets into the abyss to find more people like us, mistaking validation for finding a…
I'm so glad that I did not forget today to write. Maybe I should allocate a specific time everyday with a calendar block. I have been taking a class called 'Healing the Younger You' where you identify your behavioural patterns, your trigger responses and everything associated with finding yourself and healing yourself…
"PKM to me draws from my information landscape (e.g., lived/observed experiences, formal/informal education, ideas, etc.) - shaping my own self-improvement, decision-making, and interactions with folks. I navigate and express my life through PKM." This was part of my off-the-cuff response to the prompt - What is YOUR…
After an intense day, I just sat down to write today's post on Nicheless. While reflecting on my day, I have noticed, that all I did today was rushing from one task to the other - getting a lot of stuff done but never standing still, breathing in the moment. So instead of taking the time and coming up with something…
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.
Acabei de ver um vídeo de uma senhorinha de 100 anos fazendo exercícios com a ajuda de um personal trainer. Coisa simples, levantar pesos, pegar e jogar a bola, levantar a perna com pesos no tornozelo. Coisa que muita gente com décadas a menos não consegue fazer. É isso, gente. Vamos fazer exercícios para ter…
Before we get to answering this question, let's preface that by saying the media always blames social media companies for ruining our focus and attention span and giving us depression and anxiety. I think that's wrong. I believe we're doing it to ourselves because we followed our instincts of the need for dopamine.…
These are the big things I'm thinking of right now: 1. Trade less Last cycle I was obsessed with rebalancing portfolios and trying to be agile. I made a stupid number of trades, often daily. I got lost, it didn't really work, and it was exhausting. This time around, I will be more deliberate and intentional. 2.…
1. What's something that puts a smile on your face instantly? 2. Who's that someone you look forward to sharing the good news as soon as you receive it? 3. If money and responsibilities are taken out of the equation, would you still live in the same city? 4. What's your favourite childhood memory? 5. Do you feel…
The reason people are mentally and physically ill are usually social and economic. People need friends and a feeling of belonging. They need a sense of purpose. Financial security. A safe home and hope for the future. I read a story about a group of lonely, anxious strangers who were tasked with restoring a park over…
tamino has a really special vibe and in the past i've tried to copy him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOZ6oXtx1oM but have since forgotten about him and then at open mic i ended up borrowing someone's guitar to sing and i went for a lana del rey song and looking at my video i saw a bit of tamino i was wearing all…
Improvements in the human condition are easier to create and measure when times are tough. Starving? Eat. Thirsty? Drink. Homeless? Find shelter or build a home if you can afford it (if you're in Goa, good luck). --- In times of abundance though, things get slightly tricky. How do you measure if your life is good when…
Hola lector, lectora! El día lunes 14 de mayo 2023, tuve una reunión con mis cofounders Alexis y Luis para determinar el rumbo de Fonogram y de otros proyectos paralelos que teníamos corriendo en la compañía. Decidimos poner pausa a algunos proyectos y los guardamos en "el cajón de los buenos proyectos" que es un…
I take courses related to personal knowledge management (PKM). An alum of 3 unrelated PKM-based online courses, I am retaking them (Sept - Dec 2022) for refreshed content and to adjust my practices. Each course has its own premise. Granted there have been times I have taken pause and even cringed. Nonetheless, a bit…
“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…
So I have this little theory about communion. It's not something I care enough about to actully research - but I think it's fun in a 'plausible but unscientific TV plot' kind of way. So most people are familiar with the practice of communion in the Christian church, people eat little bits of bread and wine which…
