Fear of Being Late. There are three things that would make me anxious. Crypto, specifically being late in social coins such as Roll for my creative endeavours. Clubhouse, or specifically being late in the evolution of creative audio Pseudonymity on blockchain. People say don’t worry about being late. Just have good content. I know. But…

Honestly (The 2021 WhatsApp Exodus)
The day I saw the pop-up on WhatsApp, I decided to try and ditch WhatsApp (again). What was I thinking at that moment, honestly? I did not even think about looking into it deeper. I felt it was an ultimatum, and I decided to ditch it. I ditched Facebook because of how much it took…
How to Be Responsible – Ray Dalio’s New Book
Ray Dalio’s new book, “The Changing World Order,” is coming out soon. He made a few chapters available for public viewing. I never liked his writing style but the content was great. In 2021, I want to feel that “I am being responsible” more often. Reading those few chapters of Dalio’s book gave me new…
Fundamentally Safe
I listen to Jeff Warren’s guided meditation. The way he takes me onto meditation trips is mischievous and accurate. At the climax of his “simple meditation” trip, he asks us, to be very still, quiet, and edge ride between openness on one hand, and having this delicate direction for our attention on the other, and…
Plugging Back Into The Matrix
I whined about why I stopped using Blinkist. I am about to use it again. The main reason why I am ready to give it another go is because in the ~2 years since I last used it, I have gotten better at summarising, taking notes, and turning those notes into meaningful ingredients. I have…

A Pretty Good Deal
Not everything will be okay. While you are downing your almond milk CBD latte, 5 toddlers starve to death. A sales boss once said to me, “the closer you stick to reality, the better your team performs.” While you are cursing at me, you just had another warm heartening sip of that hippie latte. So,…
Starting 2021
2021 are just 4 integers, but 4 powerful ones, especially at this moment in time. So let them be powerful. How do you start your day? Some make their bed so then they know, at the minimum, they have accomplished 1 thing. Some meditate, some read, some doom scroll in the bathroom. (🙋🏻♂️) We can…
How Do I Want to Feel in 2021?
In 2020, I wanted to be in the moment more. Turns out that was the appropriate goal. There were many changes and uncertainties in 2020, from COVID to the future of our school to my mental health to my work. I am glad I chose to that goal. It was exactly how I needed to…
Year 2020, in #Fail
I attempted many things, and most of them ended in … failures. Yea I can say I learned from them, but to me, the best way to salvage those lost time is to muse about them. 1. Journaling Gosh I tried so many times- morning journals, dusk journals, bullet journals, 5 minute journals, 5 year…
