Just curious : To all the working dads, why dont you call yourself working dads?

How it hurts and how it bleeds,

When people who loves you, hurts you still.

The intentions are not wrong but it hits deep,

When people just do wrong coz for them right it feels

Someday I wonder if we are so busy trying to make our kids little geniuses that we forget what they are, kids who deserve unintentional love, undivided time and a lot of fun

Day One

Day Zero

Lets call it Day 0 because I havent dont anything we decided.

Lets start fresh tomorrow

[asthaluthra]

Day One or One Day?

I wish I was fit...

I wish I weighed 60 kgs...

I wish I could become AI Engineer with 50 LPA...

I wish I did everything that a mom needs to do and still have energy left to have a cup of tea in silence...

I wish I had a successful blog...

I wish...

Lately, that's all I do. I wish. I sometimes plan too.

But actually doing the stuff to reach where I want to be, is another story.

There is so much I wanna do, and never enough time.

So Today I am going to take a different Approach.

For next 21 days, I am going to hold you (whoever reads this) responsible for keeping me in check, keeping me motivated to live the most productive 21 days of my life.

They say 21 day can make or break a habit, let's test it.

To give you a background, I will be 30 years old in 21 days. I am a new mother of a 4th month old, currently pursuing Mtech in data science side by side my full time job. I am currently on Maternity leave.

Now what I want to do these 21 days

Task 1: Morning Routine

What I do now?

I sleep at 2 am and wake up at 12pm as I wake up frequently at nights to feed baby

What I wanna do?

I want to sleep at 1pm at wake up at 10.

Task 2: Start physical Activity

What I do now?

Currently I do no exercise and most of my day is spent taking care of baby and studying.

What I wanna do?

A fixed 30min to 1 hour Yoga/Exercise to keep myself fit.

Task 3: Make healthier food choices

What I do know?

Eat whatever whenever without thinking of nutrition

What I wanna do?

I want to eat processed free home cooked food.

Task 4: I am currently in my last semester of Masters and I want to spend 84 hours of Deep Study in these 21 days with clear log of how i spent those 84 hours.

What I do now?

Some days I spend 4 hours some days I spend none studying.

What I wanna do?

I want to be consistent. 84 hours would mean 4 hours daily and If i miss a day, i can study an extra hour the other day. That is more feasible considering I am a new mom.

Task 5: Be consistent on tumblr

What I do now?

I randomly write a journal, or on my blog or no where at all.

What I wanna do?

I want to be consistent with my writing and I will start that by logging my progress everyday for next 21 days.

Back to Office Tips

Going back to Office? Read it before you leave for work today.

Right now, we all are divided into two groups of people. Some are happy with Work From Home and others who are enjoying going back to the office! Everybody has their own reasons to love the former or the latter choice of working. To me personally, I miss Office because of so many things. One of the most important reasons I want to go back to the office is that, ironically, work-life balance has…

How to create a vision board?

How to create a vision board?

Somedays, I am super excited to reach the stars and other days, getting out of the couch seems impossible. They say visualising is one of the most powerful and positive mind-exercise you can do. I didn’t really believe it until I tried. Now, I can’t get enough of vision boards. I have one for the new year 2022, one for ‘When I turn 28’ and one for ‘ Thirty under 30’. I decide my goals for 2022…

How to trick your mind to be successful?

I have so many things I want to achieve in my life! Some days I am super motivated but other days, getting out of bed seems like a task. Have you ever tried tricking your mind into believing something? If the answer is no, then you are lying to yourself. You have been doing it all your life. We are the ones who tricked our minds to believe that dark is a scary place, we convinced our minds that…

New Year Resolutions Never Work, Do This Instead

New Year Resolutions Never Work, Do This Instead

How many times have you made a new year resolution but never stuck to it? Let me be the bigger person and confess, have never stuck to a resolution for more than a week, ever. Because we make new year resolutions like we make a wish, by throwing a quarter in the pond, without giving it a second thought. We just wish we don’t make a plan that could work. When I take a resolution that I will wake…

How to end your year like a Boss!

Finally we are entering the last week of the year! How to make sure you end the year, the most productive way possible!

Pre-covid, I used to spend the last week of the year vacationing or staycationing. Now I am smarter than that. I choose the second or third week of December to do that, to enjoy my life. Now, I get less crowd when I visit tourist places, I do not get ridiculously expensive prices on a holiday week and I get to enjoy vacations more cheerfully and in a relaxing way. Now as the fun part is taken…

Why is a monthly check-in with your manager important?

Does your manager know each and everything you are doing daily in your work? Do you know what are they expecting from you?

When was the last time you initiated a 1-O-1 meeting with your manager? Does your manager know each and everything you are doing daily in your work? Do you know what are they expecting from you? It is easy to be sidelined by other colleagues and it is easier to be unknowingly working hard towards a project which does not serve the value to your team. I know it’s not as easy as it sounds and…

Which ebook subscription is worth it- Kindle or Scribd

For my bookworms like me, whether its a fiction, self help book or a technical book for my work, I prefer an ebook app which has me covered in all areas. Check out if I prefer Kindle or something else.

I have always been a bookworm. The way books take you to places you have never been, the connections you feel with the characters and the emotions you feel by reading a collection of words always amazes me. It’s needless to say that my favourite pastime is reading. For me, It’s easy to indulge in a good book and forget my worries away. I spent my childhood saving pocket money for books, buying…
