Self Control

While I was listening to one of Rich Brian's song "History" I heard about self control. Background story about the song is it's about a guy that met her ex and he couldn't move on. One day they both were in the same place, in a party to be exact. The girl's friends warned her about him and that she should stay away from him now that they have broken up. Then the guy this bar came,

You're so good at self control, but, maybe now it's time for change.

    That bar made me think that hmm if only I have that kind of power, just imagine you can limit the time you spend on your daily activities. This will soon lead you to be able to avoid instant gratification, but that will be on another discussion. Having the power to wait for instant gratification just a little bit longer for something greater in the long run is something that you can achieve if you do it daily. It's gotta be your habit. You gotta live with it, breath with it, etc.

    For me, well, I haven't timed all of the things I do daily but I've tried to download an application on android called Toggl Track. The app is just AMAZING. You basically have to register what are the things that you are doing as of right now. For example just before I sleep I write on the app as "sleeping" project so that it'll be on a separate category because, you know, we spend 1/3 of our whole life sleeping. After about two or three months using it daily, I found out that no matter how long I sleep in a day, it's gotta be a total of 8 hours per day on average. Say if I were to sleep only for 5 hours day one. The next day I should be sleeping for 8 hours right? but no, I'll be in my dream for 11 hours straight. A total of 16 hours for two days. It's been going on for three months. If I were to sleep for 7 or 9 hours a day, it's not that far from the variable of 8, the next day I didn't have to spend more than 8 hours sleeping because it was enough for me. Other thing like showering, stretching, working out, playing with your pets and brothers sisters anything you can time them and see how long you really spend daily. That way you can estimate when how much free time you have which you can use them and be more productive.

    It's sad that I found out about the app quite late, quarantine really got me lazy as h*ll because apparently the app has been around since 2006! d.*.m.n. Well, it's never too late to try and start new things, so if you haven't tried it you can download it right now! just remember, never waste time, and like my favourite band says,

Don't waste your time or time will waste you.

Adios!

Parting Apart

I want to say I'm sorry, but I can't. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic guy. I really love her, so much. With all my heart. Every night, it's a battleground in my head. Whether to forgive myself and just move on, or there are other layers that I have not yet discovered. I really want her to come back. Maybe it's true, love does not have to have . I want her to shine. She's a diamond of her own league. She's cute. She's my smile. She's everything for me. Now I'm getting emotional ahaha.      My sense of romance isn't getting any better as the day goes by. Practice ? That's probably the word. I need to do it. It's just, I couldn't understand her. I mean, I do have a sister. I should understand her a little bit; woman's world. Maybe much. But, like people say, everyone is unique. She's special.      I hope that she's smiling everyday; I know she's a tough one. She's an independent woman. Knowing that everything's...

Persist and Resist

No matter what the results are, keep doing it . You only get better when you don't stop. Even if you don't think you can pull it, just believe in yourself. If something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor. -Elon Musk      Start fresh. Do things slowly . Never expect big returns. Always think of the worst case possible scenario. Slow but sure . Stay away from distractions . Build up your confidence . Listen to music of your choice. But remember, take a quick break once in a while. Record your progressions. You will soon see how much you have improved . Adios!

Dreams n Aspirations

I want to build a library or a coworking space that can fulfill the needs of many people that want to study or work but can't because there are not that many places open for 24 hours, and free, to top that off. Feel me as a student; can't be having to spend additional expenses for a drink (?) or a snack (?) that is usually unnecessary. Not counting the sugar and other health aspects that may come together with that. Although, of course, you can always exercise more to get rid of those substances and it's good for your body to workout more often. You are going to reap the sedentary life that you sow today if you don't.      It would be a huge achievement for me and I think that's what people call as virtue ? This could even be my biggest achievement I can imagine yet. The dream comes from my habit of working something in a quiet, chilly, and comfortable place. I can't find it in most of the coffee shops in my area. I could find them in coworking space! And publi...
