Idk why I procrastinated so much on a lotta things this week(This blog included)
Personal Highlights
So this week was part of my last non-tracked week and so I let myself lose in terms of pursuing a disciplined lifestyle. I pardon if disciplined sounds crinche-normie I donβt myself use it too.
- Anyway, next week I am bringing the old format back and will be sharing stats of my regular habits like I used to
Uh wait I will insert it below just to increase the factor of accountability
- Talking of which reminds me I made a commitment story post on Insta where I said that I will be sharing my habit tracker every day and share how well I am doing
I did that because I started getting worried about my procrastination loop
Canβt believe I am bringing the word after bidding it farewell 4 years agoπ
- Also, I wonβt be going for morning runs anymore for the next couple of weeks and will use workouts as a substitute for that.
Thoughts from the past week
Humans are excuse-giving machines.
No matter what we do we always have an explanation for it.
Did you know: if your fingers come in contact with fire, they will be removed almost subconsciously without complete awareness and after removing you will be tricked into thinking that YOU decided of removing it because the fire would harm you.
The same can be seen in a lot of other fields of life including your stand in an e-lafda
We are often tricked into marrying out opinions and it probably has some sort of social-psychological benefit(s) behind it after all we donβt want to be called βdoglaβ.
This excuse thing came into my head after I found myself explaining my shortcomings as to why I wasnβt doing the work that I assigned myself.

Procrastination has compounding powers

Movies π₯
- Avengers: End Game
I watched Avengers: End Game on the 26th of April, exactly 2 years after its first release and I still love the movie, not from a movie pov but more of from a conclusion of stories pov.
For me its not like infinity war was better than this! Sure it was but that is not how I consume this movie I look at it from like I said above βconclusion of storiesβ pov.
- Triple Frontier
I watched it because I wanted to consume a bit of gun violence π
But ended up consuming the anti-capitalist message π« XD

Quote(s) from the weekπ
βWe act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.β
β Charles Kingsley
I havenβt been in hustle mode for a long time and it kinda makes me feel sadβ¦ also havenβt found anything to be genuinely interested in.
I thought if I didnβt have the job then I could live my dream content creator life but now I am not quite sure about it idk why it is just β¦.
I think I need more βself-discoveryβ time π
