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

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.  I still remember s

“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

It's an encouraging thing when you pour yourself into something and people go out of their way to let you know that they enjoy it. like even priceless. Just for once I want my life to be like a 90s movie. As I said earlier I have a lot of extra aimless and senseless material which is of no use, i will be throwing all of that here from now on. because why not ?! below is one excerpt, i wrote randomly: -Twenty Two- I looked in the mirror in the morning and what did I see? A average dark twenty-two year old looking back at me. How is that possible, how can it be? Wasn’t it yesterday I was nineteen? was living my best life, without all the worries. With twenty-five just a stone’s throw away I begin to wonder how to keep it all at bay Then I realize some aren’t blessed to see that day Life is short and I'm not getting younger, I wanna get rich like JP and Corden, 100k a month , sounds pretty golden. Another decade? to see... I think I’ll be okay. update* on

Watched and Reviewed some movies on Rottom this past week, I guess it could be a new frontier, if i continue it. To add even more focus and less distractions I tried to cut unhealthy beverages this week fully So that’s one more easy way to shape your environment and thus shape your habits, Half of 2019 has gone by, there was literally nothing to do except read,write or for a change go outside. It was awesome. I am writing again out of sheer boredom, I am also changing the path aka trying conventional things for once in my life, and I think its fine if you’re actually getting something done. Just writing out these words counts as doing something in my future book. And since I got this buzz on, I’m having a fun time while I do it. The thing about alcohol, is that is takes us to this place of unlimited possibilities. I mean when you're on alcohol everything sounds like a good idea. It’s wonderful but completely irrational and you don’t realize that until the next day. For a brief mom

Before starting this post I want to say that the content of this post is just my opinion on this subject and it doesn't apply to everyone. You know that Marriage is the number one cause of Divorce! not being sarcastic it's a cold-heart fact, and one of the most important reason why I don't want to get married at all, Wedding is a big scam, Marriage is just stupidity and bringing more human offsprings 'Babies' is like the most idiotic thing someone will ever freakin' do in already immensely Over-Populated Earth especially, when you are also seeing that every day every minute the resources on the Earth are declining. On the other hand, Marriage requires regular work, Trust and it is build on Sacrifices. About sacrifices - I'm already a Self-Centered guy, I cannot make an effort to sacrifice Fizzy Beverages for a healthy lifestyle then how I'll be able to make any sacrifice for my Partner, I mean there are thousand of reasons for not getting Married. Onc

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

Goals are byproducts of habits. Don’t write down goals. Write down habits. “Write it down, make it happen.” * Not drinking alcohol at all. * Not smoking weed at all. * Cutting OCD medication everyday to more smaller quantities. * Not consuming bread, junkfood, fizzy beverages and any kind of non vegetarian diet at all. * Consistently attending the classes and their respective practical sessions. * Consistently Writing Night Pages and Morning Pages Everyday. * Reading for at least One and a half hour every day. * Exercising for at least half hour every day. * Coordinating with the Team Everyday for the work. As a result of the mental clarity achieved with the first 3 habits, I’ll have more energy and drive to ‘just keep working and preparing for other important stuff As the reading and writing goes I’ll have more ideas to execute. In other news Children knows nothing about what goes in the world, I mean just like me ! jk. I saw it the most hyped movie ever after the &qu

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

hey people, its safe to say that i've successfully ventured past my life of procrastinating things even though i'm posting this here after a whole month of my absence now i'm actually looking forward to keep my web ventures alive and focusing on my life more as a playwright, the way it should've all been in the month of August. Yeah, obviously i'm late, as i said "I'm a Serious Procrastinator" last month i even thought of to put a final farewell ramble here but dropped the idea because i was too lazy to even write that, I keep saying I’m writing a book and i am serious about it I’ve written a lot of chapters here and there but for some reason they do not tend to make any sense, there is still a lot of hardwork left to do on that . In other news, the little notes in my diary always keep nagging me to add some discipline to my work. For which i've had some serious conversations with my editor but she said "you wanted to be free, you're

There are some things and phases in life which you want to avoid and ignore as much as possible but because of that you think about those specific things too much and that hits you. After August 16th of this month my habit of procrastinating came to an end and i finally finished my manuscript and the web series which i was writing for well actually assisting someone in writing but its all good i'll get the credits the money never really mattered to me anyway. Coming to Avoiding the things during the Last Weekend a psychiatrist diagnosed me with Minor Effects of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD) so, now i am a 'Little Bit of OCD'. I'll be honest i was avoiding the symptoms of it for a longtime whether it was during the convos with some people or getting into the little details of not so important things. I was out for some phonography today and i didn't know why i felt so unnatural and forced while i was taking pictures nothing turned out good enough to post on I

Since the dawn of the recorded human history, something like 115 billion people have been born into this world, And not a single of them Made it except the two men who invented Soft Drinks and Telescope(because i love both of these things). There are approximately 7.4 billion people on this Earth right now and around 65 million people die every year. there is this quote i read once in a book: "We live alone, We die alone and Everything around us is just an Illusion" the above quote still keep me up at night thinking if We all die alone, Why am i supposed to spend my life Working, Sweating and Struggling ? just to create an illusion. Because no amount of friends, no Girl, no college assignments about writing journalized reports or finding an answer of a physics numerical going to do anything for me to avoid my fate. I think i have better things to do with my time and three of my friends agreed with me on this. END (but we never really capitalized on any of this) Oh I Fo

Dear New Year, Hello, New Year minus the six days i know its really late to welcome you but i had something to say about the last revolution Mother Earth completed around the Sun i.e Year 2017, it was the greatest year of my life. In February of last year i turned 20 years old and created more Ventures which i am really proud of, In August i had my dream vacation on the Nicobar Islands, College life is absolutely fantastic, Made few bucks on my own co-founded a Team of Internet Enthusiasts, Assisted a Writer on her Debut Book, did some business trips for the DOM, wrote for some big Creators, In December finally started working on that Secret Contentment, Worked for Comic Con and most importantly i did loose some of my Social Anxiety !.!.! Almost Every Project i focused on in 2017 turned out pretty Incredible. On that Remarkable year 2017 note i want to start this year with more positivity and less laziness let me give a huge shout-out to you 2018 because i want to do more work, achi

Looking back at some of the posts on this journal sometimes really embarrasses me it feels like that i should take all of them down and go hide somewhere for a while,  but Social Media controls my life and nobody cares statement most of the time makes that Reminiscent smile come to my face and it all cools down like i never had any of those thoughts. Anyway that's just me and my problems but today i am gonna tell all of you a short story of Affection, here how it goes: An artist starts to fall in love with a girl he had met, He is trying hard to impress her, even if it takes up his time at work, but it'll seems like it's worth it. And before he knows it, the girl he is in love with is turning into someone famous. She leaves the town and she now lives in a Big City in her own Villa.  Now that she is gone, he doesn't know what to do in life anymore, it's like the Inspiration inside him is gone but a year pass by, he does not see her anymore, despite the fact t

Hello ! judging by the title i am assuming that you'll know this song by Twenty One Pilots called "Stressed Out".It came out in year 2015 if i'm right, the vibe from that song was on my mind today, i couldn't help it the lyrics from this song are very much Relatable and Logical. It presents a definite truth like when we were kids we used to dream of outer space but actually now it seems like they're all laughing at us. Those times when we used to ride our Bicycles to our friends home, having an uniquely awesome handshake of our own and not caring about what the world will think about us. This song really has a Meaning and i mean a good one a really good one. I really hate being a responsible civilian sometimes. nobody cares... and now we're STRESSED OUT !

Here i am, i've been good you know Examinations, wandering around here and there, and freaking winter days are getting short literally, year 2017 is waving goodbye's to all of us faster than we think. Its December already and i haven't even started my secretively breakthrough contentment which i talk about a lot. Anyway, lets not touch that contentment topic again i've been happy with what i am doing ??? - as it is nothing. A lot of things have been new and great lately, I did some anxious interviews with strangers and after watching them i can say, S.A is getting its cure gently. Although, i am still finding different ways and activities to work on it. I know that i should post more here.!.!.! but my schedule isn't helping me at this point.

Hey! Everyone.... "MUSIC" - what kind of music or who is your favorite band that you guys listen to ??? (Comment down below). I Love music and I want to thank music for always clearing my mind when it was needed to be cleared the most... I am a big Professional Wrestling buff and i love Entrance themes/Pay Per View songs because they're always so catchy... My Favorite wrestling theme will be Jay "Christian" Reso theme song "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" the lyrics of this track is MAJESTIC and kind of relate to every phase of your life experience.... other than wrestling themes i like OWL CITY's stuff so much and also EDM is an integral part of my daily MUSIC playlist with the beats and tracks of Independent Artists and Popular Names such as Lindsey Stirling, Dave Days, Zara Larrson, Story of the Year and more....One great thing about MUSIC is that when it hits you, you feel no pain. Tonight I didn't had anything to write about so, i just tried to
