August 1, 2014

Today is August 1, 2014. I like to review my process every month on the first day. I’ve been doing so for some months, but not every time: February 1, 2014 and April 1, 2014 Some months ago, I challenged myself to write a blog post everyday. I also challenged to take a video everyday. […]

Set Small Goals Everyday

I was just reading Radhika’s new post, “What do you deserve” and found this: Remember, set small goals everyday, and then build on the momentum of completion. For example, if you want to read a book, tell yourself you only have to read one page. Chances are, once you start, you’ll keep reading. As soon […]

Forgot? Forget! Keep Going

“Forgot? Forget! Keep Going” is a rule I use while I establish new habits. Habits need consistency to build up. At the initial stage of forming habit, we usually don’t miss any days. But as time builds up, motivation fades away and we slowly start to move away from our habit building goal. During this period, […]

No Plans, Just Life

It’s important to plan and consider making attainable goals to move further in your work, but I think the same approach is a bad idea while planning everyday life. I usually never plan things. I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow. Heck, I don’t even know what I’ll do today. If something pops […]

One Second Everyday Video (For Five Months) Interview

I started taking one second everyday video from September 13, 2013. And it reached 5 months on Feb 13, 2014. I’m really happy to publish one second video of five months. It’s like a major accomplishment for me. Along those lines, Jamie from GreatBigScaryWorld was inspired and thought of doing something similar during his next journey; […]

Learn to Ship: Kill the Perfectionist Inside Yourself

When we start a work, it’s always normal for us to want to make it perfect. We don’t want other people to view it until it’s perfect. Since I took the challenge to blog daily for a month, I have been learning to kill the perfectionist inside me — I have to, or else I […]

How To Start Free Writing

I have been free writing for over a year — usually 750 word limit, which amounts to 3 pages of writing. When I first started free writing, I had no idea what to write or how to write. I strongly believed I should only write if I had very good article in my mind. But […]

Celebrate Small Victories

Some years ago, I wished to have my own blog. But I couldn’t afford or pay for the hosting and domain because I didn’t have Credit or Debit cards. Nor did I have PayPal. It was extremely difficult to pay for hosting and domain. And even if I could, it was pretty expensive for me. […]

Say NO Often: Pissing Off My Own People

“I need to get my laptop fixed. Could you help? I’m sure it’s easy for you to fix it.” “Sure”, I reply. I leave my work to go and help them. The whole day goes by. — “Hey I need to go to ………. Could you please drop me there?” “Umm, Ok”, I answer. I […]

Strip Off Your Comfort (Road to Voluntary Discomfort)

We all take things for granted. It’s only after we lose them, we realize about it’s presence and impact on us. Look at your body, you have eyes, ears, hands, fingers, legs, and almost everything you need to survive comfortably in this planet. You take all your body parts for granted. Handicapped people only realize […]
