I am writing this on 15th of feb instead of 14th because my last blog which I wrote on 7th hasnβt been published yet! Thanks to some technical error π
We are trying to get it to work but not sure when the error will be fixed so till then I guess I will just continue writing without anyone reading it XD because I donβt want to break my 32 week long streak
Personal Highlights
So I am not sure if this week was better than last week in terms of me following my habits but I am much more saner this week thanks to comparatively less work this week π
- WRITING UPDATE
I did not write everyday but I came up with a new journaling format which is helping me to write more.
I came to the realization that even though free writing can be a great pratise it usually limits me from organizing my thoughts and in general I write less when I am just freely writing.
Hereβs the format:
So just like my blog has an organized format, my daily journal has a new template now.
I would have shared the link to this template but I want everyone to make their own as that is much more helpful and helps build base knowledge too.
- READING UPDATE
Read a bit less than last week because I got a new phone this week and I was busy with that XD
Also about to finish tools of titan audiobook. Might as well share a bit from it in the coming blogs.
- MEDITATION UPDATE
Well this completely went out of my life this week π
Haha! Need to bring it back somehow let me see what I can do.
- MUSIC UPDATE
Frequency was like last week only but I had installed rescuetime from my old phone so there is no data available. I hope it starts tracking the data again and hopefully it will be back next week.
- FITNESS UPDATE
Same as last week :((
- SLEEP UPDATE
Main reason why my run was affected this week is because I went to bed bit late and so didnβt wake up in time.
I have been getting a full proper sleep but I need to fix the timing.
- WORK UPDATE
So like I said there was comparatively less work this week π
So there isnβt much to write about it but compared to last week I did improve my timing of delivery by a bit.
Also I started planning my day via daily checklist on notion and it has been quite helpful too this week.
Hereβs my format:
Btw talking about my new phone I bought POCO x3 as this was the best smartphone under 20k and tbh under 30k too as per my requirement.
There was realme and other brands which offered Mediatek chipset and I really dislike mediatek because technical guruji planted that seed in my mind back in 2017 XD
Not only that the problem with non-snapdragon SOC is I wont be able to install custom roms and other latest android features because of compatibility and optimization issue so I went ahead with this π
Got a new phone todayπ

Thoughts from the past week
Most learning experiences are like the original Star Wars movie sequence 456 123

I had this in my mind for a while but it recently came back when I listened to Malcom gladwellβs part in Tools of titans where he stated how he starts a book from somwhere in the middle.
This is also among some of my personal fav thoughts and I would love to expand more on it in the future.
Opinions
Dhruv Rathee is good.
Social Media updates
I had a valentineβs day special sorta meme planned in my head which I could have posted to my main insta page had I not started watching scam on Friday.
Also posted few pics from my morning run earlier this week

VIDEOS πΊ
I saw a sony LIV ad saying that WWE network is coming to their platform so I took their subscription only to realize that wwe plan requires different additional payment β
So to make use of my subscription I decided to watch scam 1992 and finished it by Sunday.
It was nice and there were no sex scenes π³ Overall the series has v nice performance
Anyways here are few of my fav videos from the last week
Apps π±
No new app this week despite getting a new phone this week I tried to stick to all the old apps that I am used to.
Letβs see if I come across any new ones.
Btw the apps that I shared last week were solid af and I found myself heavily relying on them this week.
Songs πΆ
Podcast π
Did not really listen to any podcast this week.
