I’ve written eight articles for Project Arbiter and it has been difficult. It’s hard to be consistent. It’s also depressing to not have ideas on what to write for the next articles. I knew being consistent with a lifelong project was tough, but I didn’t know it would hit me this hard. Life moves on … Continue reading Pivot

Crash
The generic advice most successful people give out is to improve our systems and processes. I tried following that advice because who doesn't want to be successful too? This week of Project Arbiter has been a testament to that advice. I'm incredibly grateful for how far I've progressed with my other projects in one month. … Continue reading Crash
Rest Days
Who would've thought the week I allotted for breaks turned out to be the most productive? Like, what the hell is going on?! I don't understand! I had laser-focused attention, met my deadlines earlier, went on a date, and followed my routine with military discipline. It's crazy how much mental pressure was removed by reframing … Continue reading Rest Days
Disappoinment
I planned this week with lessons I’ve learned in the past entries—being careful not to overwhelm myself. I’ve broken my tasks down into actionable items, limited my goals into three, and allotted a lot of time for each. The ending? A huge disappointment. The week sped through like a car on a highway, it was … Continue reading Disappoinment
Lazy Days
This fourth entry of Project Arbiter is definitely one of the entries of all time. It wasn’t because I gave up on the project, nor was it because I tried another new shiny object. Most definitely it isn’t because something outrageous happened. It’s a different story entirely. From the beginning of the week, I was … Continue reading Lazy Days
Embracing Boredom
There’s ONE thing I changed that made all the difference in my productivity this week. It’s nothing complicated too. It’s so simple that everybody could do it. It’s embracing boredom. I came across a video on YouTube, where it made me remember the books I read about mindfulness, stillness, and peace. I know the video … Continue reading Embracing Boredom
The Biggest Regret
It was a Thursday afternoon in the corner of a silent dirty room. I was alone with my laptop with my full attention happening on the screen. I've prepared the whole week just for this moment. Just for this one opportunity I'm giving it my all. I reviewed every concept I’ve learned since university. I … Continue reading The Biggest Regret
Trying out ideas
Most of the ideas I have are just that. Ideas. I have a whole bucket of plans waiting that would make my life better, but I haven't done any of them. Honestly, if I just start working on these ideas, I can greatly increase my chances of having a better life, even though most of … Continue reading Trying out ideas
Nobody talks about failure
One thing I noticed was nobody talks about failure in public. So, I decided to create tweets on what I failed at, what I learned from it, and what course of action I would take the next time it happens. I’ll do this every day to humble myself that I am a sum of my … Continue reading Nobody talks about failure

Today was the presentation for our programming assignment. It was about designing a mobile app and it was an easy project So on the morning the assignment was given, I was pretty confident that I could finish it in no time at all. What do you do when there's an easy assignment? Of course, it's … Continue reading i just got schooled
