Monday mornings no matter how hard I try I wake up at 7.30 am. I refuse to get up lol. thinking about it loud its either I'm not happy about work or I developed the habit from the early childhood that Monday is bad. Monday blues is ingrained into me (this may be true to you too) right from the school days I guess. My teachers used to give tons of homework during weekends and need that to be submitted on Monday mornings and obviously I don't finish up everything by Monday morning. some will be s...

I forgot to write my journal yesterday. My bad :) . So I am here for now Try 3 of hundred day challenge. First attempt I broke the daily chain on Day 12 and second try on Day 26. Today I thought of writing day 27 and upload it. But I thought "Wait a second who am I kidding?" myself. So here I am Day 1 try 3. But what is more important is the progress I am making. Today had a awesome crab recipie so tasty and hot. Made with paste of onion, tomato and pepper. Both mouth and eye watering at t...

Learnt a lot of new stuff related to my work. It's fascinating that everyday even if you are doing the same thing for months you still have scope of improvement and learning. My grandfather used to say that read a book many times and each time you will understand the same text with new meaning. Repetition is not only for memory but for getting familiar and to scale new heights or go to new depths of understanding. I have realized this myself so many times. Learning will never cease if it doe...

Today again is full work no play day. Have been working for 16 hrs continuosly to sort out a bug. Atlast had a break through and I felt like I started to understand the issue. I am dead tired and exhausted but you know what I can't break my writing chain. So here I am typing away what I am feeling. Very heavy rains in my city which had water scarcity looks like God decided to remove it overnight. It is pouring. Saw two snakes shifting there home :) looks like their home is flooded. They ar...

Got so much accomplished today in my office and also helped few clients with their issues. Personally nothing much. Woke up at 7.00 and started to office at 8 and put my head down and worked away. Did not go for a walk for the past 2 days. I guess I will go tomorrow morning. It's been same two days since I listened to the book sapiens. Damn so tired to do anything. But I could never shy away from witing my journal. I might read "Magic of thinking big" after this. It also seems to be a good ...

My productive day continues. Had all the professional goals for today completed. Learning goals not so much just learned some java and read an article on HBR. Solved a long standing customer issue for a client with over 3 hours in a call. Read in HBR about how to build a resilient team. The key take away is that for a successful organisation its just not enough for individuals to be resilient to the adversities. Leaders should make sure that they build a team with Candor care for each ot...

Worked from home today since it was raining heavily and felt tired after yesterday's travel. And I was atleast twice as productive as working in office. ground out the day from 9 to 5 with just one lunch break and that is it. Walked for 2 kms while listening to "Sapiens" audio book. Came across a cool concept called "Types of Chaos" Type 1 Chaos system is the one where the prediction of the event does not have any effect on the system itself. Example is weather prediction meaning irrespecti...

Had a nice day visited my native and worshipped the Goddess "Moongathamman" she is the one who is protects our village and the villagers. We always go the temple and worship her during the first week of "Aadi" Month in Tamil calender. The month is special for goddesses and people make Raagi based dishes and also gravy prepared by using brinjal,potato,raw banana and dried fish. Also drumstic spinach dish is used as side dish. Polytheistic religion like Hinduism(just a collective name for the b...

Very very productive day today. What did I learn today Java HTML Javascript Angular read an article in Harvard Business review Typescript and played with kids, took wife to hospital she had indigestion, went for a walk, Watched Novok Djokowic's interview and listened to audible book of Sapiens when I went for a walk. So much that it would feel like crazy but all this managed by technology reminding me to do what I planned for. And I take liberty to add to thinks but don't remove anythi...

Okish day at office. Done what I set out to do. I have been waking up early for the past 2 days like around 5:45 am and then reading Harvard Business Review articles for some time and today I installed my new harddisk which is a Samsung SSD 1TB. And started installing the apps I lost when my last harddisk crashed. And with the Habit loops app I've been able to keep up with the habits I deceided to do. One thing which I would change in the coming days is to sleep early. I've been sleeping ar...

Done with most of the habits that I wanted not to break the chain on. I guess I am kind of started to hit the ground running. It seems fast but looks sustainable with the tools I have. Have scheduled the activities and areas of improvements that I have procrastinated for long. Will take habit inventory for the next thirty days from tomorrow to see where I am spending my most time on. Talking of the time tracker I remember a app called SmartTime which I used to have but forgot for months now. L...

Took off from work. Had to get a govermnet id card for my younger kid. Had a good rest day since I was tired from yesterday latenight study of the Atomic habits. Also started to do few habits which will enahnce my work life. I have 8 or 9 items spread across 7 days to read or learn like programming languages/frameworks and concepts. Thinking of changing to different company. Purely because I need to increase my take home salary. My current company is best in work life balance there is but n...

Not so great productive day at office. But a good productive day personally. Learnt a new technical stuff which would help me in my official project at hand. But what was more satisfying is my reading habit today. I read about 4 hours today. Read a Harvard Business review article about "Persuasion" which outlined how the art of persuasion was handled from Ancient Greece to modern era. The compilation is from the ideas of Aristotle.1. Ethos or Character - Establish your identity with the audience...

It started as a bright Monday and ended up with a rainy night. Had a not so productive day at office but managed to finish what I deceided to do.Went for a walk for 60 mins listening to Sapiens audio book. Today the author was explaining about how imagined realities continued to exist and explained the concepts of objectivity, subjectivity and inter-subjectivity where the last one is what makes it possible to make the imagined realities like nationalism, religion and caste divisions to exist or ...
