The Doing Deficit !?

We all aspire to master something—whether it's writing, programming, painting, teaching, playing an instrument, cooking, public speaking, or fitness. So what’s stopping us? It's not a lack of knowledge—we watch plenty of YouTube tutorials and read enough self-help books. What we actually face is a doing deficit . To become good at any skill, deliberate practice is essential. Want to be a better writer? Write at least one page every day. Want to be a skilled programmer? Code daily. Want to be fluent in a language? Practice it consistently. So how do you overcome the doing deficit?      1. Start small: Set a daily goal that’s easy to commit to.      2. Focus on the process: Don’t worry about immediate results; they will come with time.      3. Track your progress: Even if daily improvements seem small, tracking them over time shows how much you’ve grown.      4. Embrace discomfort: Mistakes are part of the process—growth happens outside your comfort zone.      5. Find

Time!

“People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.”  -- Seneca Time is precious, but let’s be real—sometimes we just need to relax and scroll through Instagram reels or YouTube shorts after a long day. It’s totally fine to take breaks! The problem comes when that mindless scrolling takes over. On the flip side, we don’t want to push ourselves into toxic productivity either.  The key is balance—finding that sweet spot between work and rest. Every now and then, check in with yourself: How much time are you using productively, and how much is slipping away? Time, once lost, is gone forever—so let’s make sure we use it in ways that truly count! Reflection:  How much time did you spend productively today, and how much time did you waste?

Big Decisions

Spend more time making the big decisions. Where you live : The city or place you choose to live in shapes your opportunities, experiences, and lifestyle. Yet, we often don’t spend enough time deciding where to settle. Who you’re with : Relationships have a lasting impact on your happiness and well-being. Still, we frequently rush into them without careful thought. What you do : Your career is a major part of your life, but we spend very little time deciding which job or field to pursue despite the time we invest in it. Reflection : In what ways have your choices impacted your personal growth and fulfilment? This post is inspired by  Naval Ravikant .

Questioning Norms!

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” ​ — Mark Twain. Following the crowd can sometimes distract us from what truly matters. When we find ourselves agreeing with popular opinion, it’s important to pause and think critically. Just because something is widely accepted doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. Mob psychology reveals how group influence can cloud our judgment, leading to actions we wouldn’t normally take. Taking a moment to reflect helps us stay true to our own beliefs and values, allowing for more authentic decision-making. In a world full of trends, staying grounded in who we are leads to greater personal fulfillment and growth. Reflection: How do you ensure your decisions are based on your values, rather than peer or societal pressure?

True Happiness?

A happy person isn’t someone who’s happy all the time. It’s someone who effortlessly interprets events in such a way that they don’t lose their innate peace.  --  Naval Ravikant Happiness isn’t about staying positive every moment; it’s about embracing life’s contrasts. Every positive thought exists because of its opposite, like light and shadow. True happiness comes from within – it’s the ability to face life’s challenges without losing your inner peace. A truly happy person doesn’t ignore setbacks but learns to see them as part of the journey, keeping their heart steady through it all. By shifting how we interpret events, we unlock the power to remain calm and content, no matter what life throws our way. Happiness is a mindset we can nurture, even in tough times. Reflection : What small steps can you take to maintain your inner calm during life’s challenges?

Growing Through Tough Times!

That’s what this storm’s all about.” — Haruki Murakami Life’s tough moments can really change us, often in ways we don’t see coming.
