Can't call it a good week as I'm not doing good on my KPIs. Nevermind, I did good at work and did vlogs everyday. I need to do better.
Personal KPIs (Key Performance Indicators):
Time spent learning a skill: 0 hours (ashamed, promise to make it 20)
Wake up on time: 0/7 days (eww)
Exercise, meditate, worship, nature walk, work: 7/7 days (good)

Blog Recall: Some good blogs from the past-
Distractions are good in times of suffering.
Sounds insane, doesn’t it? But I’ve observed that distractions help me when I’m not at my best. Distractions give me an opportunity to forget about my suffering or pain and get indulged in something different. The good thing about distractions is they don’t hold your attention forever. So, you can get distracted, change your mood, start working again. Whenever I’m struggling with getting things done-I try and get myself distracted. It helps me start a fresh on solving my problem. It gives me a fresh state of mind. Don’t confuse me for saying “Distractions are good”. They are only good when you need an uncluttered mind to get the best out of you. Distractions are like dusters on the blackboard of your mind. Use it only when you feel what’s already written isn’t of any use. So get distracted the next time you feel stuck -ChoubeySahab
Playing outdoors. A thing of the past?
Isn’t it extremely hard these days to find time, opportunity and place to play an outdoor game? First let’s talk about time, a teenager these days is reduced to a shuttle between a pair of badmintons ( tution centre and school ) . Parents themselves aren’t concerned about their child’s physical activity. Talking about opportunity, with such mindset of parents-children have found peace with smartphone games like pubg. They are happy with “Winner winner chicken dinner” flashing on their screens. But is there availability of land to play an outdoor sport- I seriously doubt this. With rapid urbanization and metro stations all around us. The government has conveniently bartered our playing spaces for urbanization. Lack of physical activity in growth years can significantly impact proper body development. Is walking to tution centres the only physical activity left for us? -ChoubeySahab
