But there are are so many great ideas I've had that I've ended up putting aside or letting fizzle away … Continue reading Excited today and bored tomorrow

Easy and fulfilling
Those are 2 words I'd use to describe the things we often end up doing in our free time. We look at what requires the least effort and go with it.

Why I’ve decided to stop daily blogging? (For real this time)
Towards the end of 2020, I wrote a post sharing how I'd planned to stop daily blogging. Not long after, I changed my mind.

We have this idea in our mind of what we want, what we'll say yes to and what we're willing to accept. Then, … Continue reading Saying yes to what you want
Bridging the gap
There is a gap between our wants and our actions. For example, the gap between wanting to do better and actually doing better. I believe that there is a always a gap but by putting in the effort little by little you're able to bridge the gap. However, their is also the danger of falling … Continue reading Bridging the gap
Getting back on track
Getting back on track often requires you to put in the work to make up for the fact that you've fallen behind.
