So this week was sort of a rest week for me. After having published a post for trb.writes and an edit for trb.mp4, I decided to watch two shows from my watchlist finally and so I did.

Personal Highlights

However, I did not do a great job in tracking my habits, and I lost track of time once I started binge-watching for 3 days straight.

I did not share my habit updates to Instagram this week because I had posted the story saying I would do it only for a week, and so once It ended, I stopped being strict with my habits as well 🤪

• MEDITATION UPDATE

  N/A

• FITNESS UPDATE

  Did workout in the same routine manner but with increased time period of each session 😎💪

• MUSIC UPDATE

  I know last week I mentioned that I would practice keyboard and add it to my habit tracker, but I did not even touch the keyboard this week 💀

• External work update
  After I was done binge-watching the shows, something changed in me, and I had this urge of being productive and working; and luckily enough, I got a freelance gig from one of my old clients and spent a good amount of yesterday and today morning working on that and finished it in a day 😌

  PS: That work is the reason behind the slight delay of this blog.

Thoughts from the past week

Slightly frustrating thought this week…

What’s the point of dancing to a song and showing me 5 LinkedIn tips?

I get that reel will give you more views instead of, say, a regular text post.
But do you think people who are really into knowing linkedIn tips care about it when they are browsing reels, there is an even lesser chance that the type of audience you want are spending time their time consuming reels at all in the first place.

Idk I find business people making reels very cringy its as if I can see right through them and peek into their desires and cringe at the ways they are executing, but then again, who am I to judge them 😓

Opinions

We should always focus on making things easier for our future selves.
Example:
Making a template for the things we do more often is a step towards making the future easier.

VIDEOS 📼

I spent significantly less time on youtube this week and did not watch anything worth sharing.
The reason I spent less time on youtube is that I was busy watching

Series 📺

Invincible

Like I said last week, I finished it and I absolutely loved it.

It was one of those shows where I get the feeling damn, I don’t want this to end and the fact there is only a single season so far was kinda sad to me.
Either way, I finished the entire season on Wednesday, and usually, after a good show like this, I like a small break from media consumption just so that whatever I have consumed settles in nicely.

But for some weird reason, I got motivated to watch more content from prime video, and a friend from Instagram ( Batliman ) recommended me to watch another show which was quite similar and so I did, and the very day I started watching

The boys

Now I know I should have probably taken a small break before starting this, but the show is so freaking nice, and I immediately got hooked and binge-watched the entire season only to realize that there is another, and so I watched even that🤲

Creators 🤹🏻

The Thinking Bat

Found him on Twitter, and the type of content is something that I wanted to see in 2019 XD

Regardless his newsletters are v. nice, and he is quite good at it despite having a small number of followers.

App(s) 📱

Session Buddy

Been using this for over 2+ years, previously I used it to save bunch of bookmarks and stuff but now I used it to get the videos link for weekly blogs using its markdown export option.

Songs 🎶

Few of my fav from The Boys

Podcast(s) 🎙

I feel like this audio format is much better than videos as I can listen to them while walking in my terrace🚶‍♂️

Memes/Edits from the last week 🐒

Here

Goal(s) for the next week 🥅

• So my primary goal for this coming week will be to work on the meme music mashup every day and share updates at the end of the day to Instagram.

  It’s the only way of ensuring that I finish the edit by the end of the month and put a full stop to my most extended pending project.

• Along with that, I want to spend at least 30mins every day to learn a bit of HTML and CSS as I am planning to re-design my main website on its 3rd year anniversary, which is next month🥶

Quote(s) from the week📃

“The way someone else perceives what you do is a result of their own experiences (which you can’t control), their own preferences (which you can’t predict), and their own expectations (which you don’t set).

If your choices don’t match their expectations, that is their concern, not yours.” - James clear
