October 4
Studied for one-and-a-half hour in the entire day. 3 hour target not met.
The word I was looking for the other day was 'resistance'. Resistance is what I have been feeling towards studying, and in fact, many other things that I am supposed to be doing, including some hobbies.
"But to yield to Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be." - Steven Pressfield
A big news came through today which technically makes studying a second priority this month.
But since I have committed to this October streak exercise, I might as well test how consistent I can be. I am already failing the 3 hour target that I had planned, but I still want to continue posting here and maintain some accountability. Because if that gets me to study for even a little while every day, the purpose of this exercise would already be fulfilled.
Not much done today. Just one hour of studying through the entire day. I took a nap, watched the race, and searched for apps and sites that could help me build a system for getting things done.
I feel bad.
4:22 pm I have been sitting with my study material in front of me for an hour now but just can't get myself to start, physically. I got a good flow going in the morning, so that was a positive. However, I am no close to finishing up my tasks for today.
Strategy edit: I will start small and target 3 hours of studying every day for the first week of October.
Update: Studied for 2:40 hrs. It wasn't ideal. I did make progress on a difficult topic.
Overall, I would rate the day 'F', for fine.
I have been slacking.
Doing a productivity streak in October for accountability. I usually don't take a lot of pictures and my study area is nothing like the ones seen on studyblr. But I am going to give this a proper try.
I really want to do well and get my act together. Enough slacking, enough being lazy, enough being distracted.
The interview may not have been that great but everything around it was such a confidence booster for me. Talking to so many people, reconnecting with an old school friend, having my nerves under control despite the situation, the confidence to speak up loud and clear where no else would dare. That body language, uff!
Stars, basking in the sun
Cheers to friends and family who pull us through!
And it's gone.
Fours years back, I brought this plant in my room from the garden. I wanted it to grow on the wall and eventually, frame the window. New leaves kept coming, but the plant never stuck to the wall. Each new leaf grew smaller than the previous one. Still, the plant kept me company in my not so momentous journey. The winters were always tough for it and it would start to 'dieback', only to be revived in the summers. This year, it shed its biggest and oldest couple of leaves. And now, there are all gone.
I could draw parallels between the plant and my life because this sure does feel like the beginning of an end. However, the most important thing is that there's a new shoot on the plant already.
To a renewed confidence.
It came to this, with the incessant rains and the power cut.

For some reason, I found this really beautiful...
A prayer answered and other prayers that weren't.
Everyone is good and bad. We all live with both traits.
