Pressure to stay productive

An image of a cat

It’s been three months since the worldwide lockdown. I cannot thank enough to the people working in the medical industry or infrastructure. My life has been lucky, being able to continue working from home as long as I have my laptop, not needing to squeeze myself into a packed train. A small inconvenience aside, it’s relatively comfortable. However, there is one thing that has been judging my mind — it’s pressure to stay productive. Working from home works well when I need to concentrate on a simple task. However, I also find collaboration slowed down extensively. Even my cat keeps […]

Some thoughts around introverts

Since I often come across articles about introverts and extroverts recently, I also want to write a bit about my thoughts around it. I don’t think it’s binary thing, but I think I’m closer to introvert. This word is often misused, but they say it’s not really about being shy or quiet. For example this article talks about what real introverts are, or this oneillustrates what’s going on in introvert’s head. Personally those two below made sense the most to me. https://www.ideapod.com/idea/Why-so-many-people-dont-understand-introverts/5641291e8282ef0b3c99c110 People usually think introvert means shy, and that’s not the case.

Oops, it’s been a year again since the last post…oh well. Although I don’t feel like setting goals per year anymore, it’s a good timing as a self-reminder, so I’m gonna write a post about my currently on-going themesm. 1) Mindfulness = Live my life This is my absolute top priority. Since I had a big life crisis around 2013, I have kept practicing meditation in order not to get caught by thoughts in my head, also been trying anything around “mindfulness”. For me, not to get stuck with thoughts means to live my life with a certain level of quality. […]

Keywords & Key products 2014

I thought I should stop “looking back” post because it looks too ordinary, but well, I haven’t posted anything for long time, and I have time to write something, so why not! Here is a list of my keywords 2014 and favourite products. I’m going to write proper posts about some of the products later but anyway here we go! 1. Mindfulness My recent few years have been like being in the fog. I was stuck thinking repeatedly about what I want to do, stuck in concepts and thoughts, and not living real life. This year was very important for […]

So…I’m writing a blog after 2 years. From now on, I’m gonna spend more time writing a proper blog entry rather than just quick-posting on social media. I’m feeling like I’ve been too lazy to try communicating with my words properly. Social media gives me a quick option to share more…yes, it is more, but less experience. And I finally realised, doing less is actually living more. Also I’m kind of fed up with “fake” me on social media. I tended to capture only the moment which looks nice. And those are the “wish-portrait” of me; the way I wanted […]
