Procrastination is the tendency to delay or postpone important tasks or actions. It is something that most people struggle with at some point in their lives, whether it is putting off an assignment until the last minute or avoiding a difficult conversation with a loved one. While procrastination may seem like a harmless habit, it can have serious consequences in both our personal and professional lives. In this post, we will discuss the causes and effects of procrastination, as well as some strategies for overcoming this common problem. One of the main reasons why people procrastinate is due to a lack of motivation or interest in the task at hand. It can be difficult to stay focused and engaged when we are not passionate about what we are doing, leading to feelings of boredom and frustration. Additionally, some people may struggle with perfectionism, feeling like they cannot start a task until they have all the necessary information or skills to complete it perfectly. Another cause of

Nothing like a few days of sunlight, water, and 9 hours of sleep to heal your soul. I feel brand new again. Scheduled some stuff, made some phone calls, getting things done. Up and down and around we go! Life! I saw a movie by myself yesterday. I’ll do this every now and then. Like its obvious because of Lockdown in Delhi saw a cheesy flick called “A Time to Dance” at 6:30pm. Late Night I went to a close by eatery for the usual Junk Food takeaway. I just needed my junk food and to be gone. After an awkward minute of them finally getting my order and me whipping out my card and entering the chip into the fucking thing I said, “thanks man” fake smiling as best I could and then walked away.  Sometimes I do act like this (Like All The Time) and I don't even know why. I probably don't have the Energy to talk to them, Other reasons might be because of this City Life, Skylines, Radiations Wi-fi and most probably Other People in General. Also being born with Anxiety Issues cater to tha

Oh Hey Journal, I am so sorry that I abandoned you again !.! Seriously telling you I have spent the vast majority of the last 6 months or so, planted in my command center, working. Don’t get me wrong, that is actually a good thing. I am blessed to absolutely love my work, which tends to lead to me spending way too much time working. I am determined to find a healthy work-life balance. or Whatever that is. Does it actually exist? So, where the heck did my motivation go for actually Living life outside of work? I honestly don’t have a clue where to start. I just know that it is beyond time for me to start taking action because I am certainly not going to find whatever it is that I seem to be searching for without taking some actual steps to get out of the rut I seem to be in. “The courage and strength that you so desperately seek is right there within you. Close your eyes and feel it. It has been there all along…” - Owl City  This process is definitely going to be baby steps for me. Even

the title of this post is "post" because my mind is fed up and i don't know where I'm heading... so, where I have been ??? pretty much nowhere. just here not writing and procrastinating for months. anyway... All my lights are off. Besides my glowing Laptop, it’s nearly pitch black in my humble one bedroom. I’m wearing a DCEU Flash T-Shirt I got from free authority warehouse sales I like this t-shirt because it makes me look that I'm a fan of Flash but I am not. I am the Green Lantern fan boy from the wrong side of the tracks. My nose and hands are still cold though. It’s much quieter in my area. I’m in a tucked-in neighborhood now, far away from any busy streets. Switching to this place from my usual 3 storey cosy-flexy Home it is not saving me any money well I previously said Frugality was the new cool but Fuck That. I'm flexing, I'm content fuck it all, I am just living. As usual, I’m going to be awake and the world will sleep . It’s so quiet that I can

MLM or Multi Level Marketing is all about recruiting sales people who will hopefully recruit other sales people, and so on. is it a scam ??? Yes it is a "sweet" scam where in the end you will think that you have ruined your Friendships, Relationships and your Willpower to do anything basically your Whole Life gets ruined. It works by word of mouth sales and the oral sales or "SELLING OF LIES" totally based on relationship (i.e. selling to your friends and family), in the hopes that you’ll not only sell to them, but encourage them to join as a seller as well. They preach making money in this way with ultimately very little effort, and it all sounds very tempting on the surface, sure but eventually your life will be ruined and will broke into so many pieces that you would not be able to fix it again. Don't want to nameshame anyone here but there's a fuck load of companies out there who had ruin a lot of lives and now in these crazy times of COVID-19 looking t

Life is truly just far too short to get hung up on things we cannot control. - Diksha 2020 HOLDING ONTO ANGER IS LIKE DRINKING POISON - well these times are crazy and calmness has left the body and brain. Yes, I realize that anger is a natural emotion that we can’t always control feeling but we certainly have the power to CHOOSE how we are going to respond to that anger. If we scream, holler, stomp our feet and throw a good old fashioned temper tantrum (and make sure we tell everyone on Twitter) what are we gonna solve besides dragging everyone else down with us? Is that fair? Yes, I also realize that you have the right to be angry and I don’t have a clue what you are going through, nor can I understand without experiencing it myself. I could share 23 years of reasons to holler and tell the world that life isn’t fair, but what the heck is the point? Will it change anything at all? I don't think so. What if we decided to try something new? What if we DECIDED to use our anger to

It’s gonna take me a while to get back in the swing of things, but it is good to be writing again. Somewhere along the way, I stopped doing those things I am the most passionate about. I am not certain when or why that happened. I only know that it has been an extended period of time since I have done those things I used to be the most passionate about, writing, making beats and serious photography. The simple explanation could be that I got bored with it all. That may still be true but I think perhaps that it is more than that. I seem to have forgotten that there is a big difference between simply existing and actually living. If I am going to find my passions again, I need to start exploring more avenues in life. I need to find out what does excite me about living again. I may choose the wrong paths along the way, but that is what learning to live again is all about. Where the heck do I start? Is there a magic secret to it all? One thing I do know about myself is that when I do

“The first draft of anything is shit.” - Ernest Hemingway To me, the reason I have trouble sitting down and writing is because I have nothing to write about. I'm forcing myself, i should just live life and write when I want to. When it comes naturally. I'm just a human being. Fucking true facts right here. the daily sequence of events is spot on. Endless circles of “but this first…” Depression is just this phase everyone goes through in life, either short or long, severe or mild, and can be a result of many different things, circumstances, brain chemistry, nature, nurture, negative thoughts, diet, drug abuse, etc. and can usually be treated with clean living (exercise, diet, sleep) and cognitive behavioral therapy (fancy term for attitude adjustment) and/or medications, as well as a healthy balance of work (that you’re preferably proud of and at least don’t hate), family, and friends. Wow I should write a textbook or something. That is if I did write regularly. What’s it be

Dear Mumbai, You're Beautiful and I Have a Crush On you and I know that it is early in our relationship but I have to get it off my chest following is a excerpt about really pretty girls which kinda reminds of Mumbai anyways and Job Interviews So, I recently decided to give a visit to the city I've always loved but not in July and August because nothing really significant happens there in that span other than Heavy Rain. Just a heads up that 10 months back I  met a girl in the parking lot of Delhi and all I did was say hello but she didn't respond there later on it turned out that she was my boss here. "STORYTIME" So, here how's the story has rolled out so far it is basically a boy meeting a girl, but the girl being standoffish despite the fact that he's only trying to be a gentleman. Maybe the girl has been hurt before, or just doesn't trust people easily, the two could even go hand-in-hand, because of course, that the way it goes. Different scen

Social lubricant. It’s not possible to have an awkward moment when you're with me, not even after this ultimate question. “Like what the fuck is going on!?” a straight depressive face at a Clubbing Event in Colaba, Mumbai. duderino ! can't stop it. I was born with it. obviously the sane one understood it the second I told them but some people just like to be a little judgy but can't do anything to stop them too. One of my most endearing traits is that I think to an ultimate extent. I mean if you're with me you'll always see my weird fingers doing something, yeah, its that Anxious Lubrication happening to my body at all times. About Anger Management: I realize that anger is a natural emotion that we can’t always control feeling but we certainly have the power to choose how we are going to respond to that anger. If we scream, holler, stomp our feet and throw a good old fashioned temper tantrum what are we gonna solve besides dragging everyone else down with us?

From the past two months after my exams and that one of a kind internship I was really having some trouble with my sleeping, Insomnia hits every night and the best thing in the world i.e "Music" isn't helping me with my sleep, because of this particular reason I started using sleeping apps which lead me to ASMRs (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) where I have now learnt a lot about the Voices within which I'm going to elaborate below: * Voice of Hope  The voice of hope still believes in fairy tales and happily ever after. It is often quickly smothered by the voice of reason, and ridiculed by the voice of darkness and doubt. But somehow, no matter what happens in life, this voice continues to survive.Yes, sometimes the light dims to barely a spark, but something keeps it alive, keeps it believing. * Voice of Darkness and Doubt The voice of darkness and doubt often believes that it is the voice of reason, that it is simply knocking some sense into me, forc

"Hey" it is needless to say this word here, I bet no one expects posts from a person who prefer daydreams over reality. So, actually there is nothing new with me I've been Avoiding boredom and Avoiding accountability. How did I get here? Everything hurts. My mind is foggy as hell. I hate everyone and everything. I need to bite my tongue and save face as best I can. Avoid people. Next Month I'm off to Mumbai for a few days Drinking lots of water because the trainer said so also I don't want myself to be turning into a Junk Food eating werewolf. I cleaned my room. Sweating and with drawling and hating myself. Shame and guilt flooding my thoughts. I should finally write that final excerpt for my client Will I ever learn? something is wrong with me. My place is clean now. I still feel stable. I’m gonna read now until I fall asleep. Keep chugging back some water. It’ll be about a week or so before I feel good again. That’s what I get. Atoning for my sins. 

Don't be so quick to judge a person, take a chance to know the person before you judge a person and that goes for anybody not just me. Suppose if you hear something really negative about a person, please do not make an opinion right on the spot, there a three sides of every story asses the whole scenario/situation before you make an opinion. Furthermore being Judgemental leads to negativity because of the obvious reason. In the past, I was all cool with it but in recent months I've learned a lot on how to be reactive in these such situations, being judged all the time is also depressive for oneself and As one who battles depression, I want to tell you that some days are extremely tough and on these days even getting out of bed in the morning can be a major accomplishment. Storytime: Last Week me and one of my friend went to a Volkswagen Dealership to check out one of their cars, we liked the car but the sales representative there was so, rude like seriously he was judging

About these writing softwares i tried a few of them today to improve my writing like take Grammarly for a second here They’ve already found “3 writing issues”. Good thing that was free and now I’m done with it, forever, I'm like who the hell are you to tell me that you've found 3 mistake in my writing come on .!! i haven't listened to my editor in almost one and a half year about that, also someone dm'ed me that why i use "Like"so much in my journal. First of all, why're you even judging a journal ??? I'll do whatever i want you brat !' do not read, I don't give a damn about anything. There we go, back on my liberating, crap of the world blog. "Blog". Couldn’t they think of any other word to use for words on the internet? I have done some serious blogging in year 2016, 2017 and 2018 at once i was handling approximately 43 independent article websites and i do not even have a count of words and companies i have written for. In 2019 yo

Continuous train of thought that circulated in my mind while i stared at my laptop i was thinking of new ideas for my upcoming projects but couldn't really execute anyone of them because I had something on my mind. I want to talk about heartbreak and how devastated it can be, you know some people are more sensitive than the others its definitely not the millennial problem it has been going on for ages, like Shakespeare is proof that people kill themselves over heartbreak its definitely one of  the most real pain that human heart suffers. And I just wanna say if you’re going through some sort of heartbreak than just keep freaking going ! try keep bettering yourself. You will seem to notice that this person who broke your heart has actually done a lot good for your life in the long run of being in future relationships. I mean you have to understand that you cannot base your happiness on that one person at all, you need to find your happiness inside your heart. Today when I was wri

I haven’t had any reason to write in a while. I’m in this weird, content state of indifference. Stable. A down-to-earth, “dumb” state of ‘happiness’. I don’t really have anything to complain about. Passion? I’m not passionate anymore. What’s fucked up is that I don’t care that I’m not passionate anymore. Maybe I was never passionate in the first place. Maybe all these years my pretentiousness & ego got the best of me and blinded me from what I really am: a Business Guy I mean i don't have a fancy list of accomplishments but i have done some things. Sometimes my pompous, irrational ego gets the best of me and I think of myself as this suffering artist with all this passion. Its like everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the face right !?  Also, I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and have a completely new, perspective on all of this passion thing. Now coming onto the title of the post I have a lot of extra aimless and senseless material which is of no use, i will be t

No matter how much we want to control our Life we can't always know what is going to happen. The Change is scary and Life will always surprise you with "Oh, this is your new truth Live It !" you cannot do anything you have to accept that. If i talk about myself and generally everyone my age we're so used to take so many things for granted like this blue sky, freedom, our home, our parents and much more. There is absolutely no harm in being yourself but if your personality is negative then some changes can be made ! so, there are few things i want to tell my teenage self . here we go: * Embrace your introverted self. * Do not take anything for granted. * It is okay to be a late bloomer. * People move on and so should you. * Make friends who last beyond school. * You don't have to do something just because all the cool kids are doing it. *Always be optimistic about your future. * People give far fewer sh*** about what you look like so don't bother. *

Yesterday, I read this article in the Fortune magazine titled "The World's most Admired Companies" it was a whole illustrated report to analyzing which Companies are really the World's Corporate Role Models with Apple Inc and Amazon LLC. toping the charts beating some of the greats in the game such as Berkshire Hathaway, Walt Disney, Starbucks and most importantly us the 'millenials' favorite clan right now Netflix reading that i was totally shocked to realize that it wasn't about how much capitals these companies were creating, it was actually about the morals and goals these companies are oriented towards because combining the capitals of Berkshire Hathaway, Netflix and Starbucks cannot even touch the capital made by the raging bull of everything Amazon. The list also consisted of the All Stars list suggesting Staying on Top isn't that easy as it seems with Google parent company Alphabet falling down in the rankings to record low of 7. so, coming
