The first Saturday of every month, I meet with two groups of ladies. One is a book club and the other is a group I became a part of after an online class. 

The book club is mostly Ethiopians and we read a book that has been voted by the...

Walking with Dad

My dad came to the US recently to visit us. He is extremely found of walking and never misses a day - rain or shine. Seeing him walk everyday makes the rest of us eager to follow his example and get the same results. 

I started walking just about a...

Ideas
Design

As a fun project, I started to design t-shirts on a few print of demand websites. I used to previously outsource anything design related. I assumed I had no skills there.

But one thing I have realized after trying a few things - is that there is so much inspiration out...

2nd draft

Today, I completed the 2nd draft of my piece for Medium challenge.
It is at 1900 words right now. That is after I edited away a lot of content. It is so hard to remove things but I know I have to keep editing out over 1000 words.

This phase...

Changes

Yesterday I was out of it. No energy whatsoever for anything. 

This morning I woke up and felt much better. My mind had been occupied with thoughts and decisions I need to make soon. It is a big one though I was already leaning towards one direction.

Numb

Feeling numb today. I didn't get enough sleep despite going to bed early. My mind was just anxious and it was past 4 when I finally had a shut eye. All day today, I have been a zombie. Zero creativity and even worse motivation. 
I did mess up my sleep...

Retrospective
Week 2

Another week of August is done. 

I have maintained my daily checks. 
I am even more excited since I am going towards making it a legit app. It is the one thing I have consistently continued to use to monitor myself. More importantly, I feel like it is helping me...

Making progress

Almost missed my streak...

I was deep in the flow. Today I was working on my passive income idea. 
It has components of design in it and I lose track of time when I am playing around in Canva. 

A few days ago, Jason told me about a no-code option to...

First draft

Yesterday I wrote my first draft for the Medium writing competition. 

I realized that I was swimming in analysis paralysis for weeks now. It was hard for me to select a topic I was certain would be great. I was debating how much of myself I wanted to reveal. If my...

Malcom doesn't want me to be funny

Many of you must have heard me pray passionately to develop comedy writing skills. In the entire ~3 years or so of writing, I was able to write maximum of 3 posts with any hint of humor in them. 

Humor is hard. 
But I want it. 

I think about people who are editors...

Discovery

In order to write the type of content I like to read, I have been investigating my favorite books & shows through the years. 

When I was younger, I loved courtroom drama. I always thought I would be a lawyer and loved watching the shows like 'The Practice'. I looked for...
