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

Chasing Security
Daily writing promptAre you seeking security or adventure?View all responses When I saw this question, security was the first thing that came to mind. I lived a life where I had to worry about where my next meal would come from, worried about where to get my bills, and how I should pay for my … Continue reading Chasing Security
Feeling Like A Chef
Daily writing promptWhich activities make you lose track of time?View all responses The activity that makes me lose track of time is cooking. Nothing beats the enjoyment of cooking ever! But, honestly, the actual cooking isn’t the most enjoyable part of the process. It’s the preparation of ingredients—putting them in place, arranging them in their … Continue reading Feeling Like A Chef
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

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
Habit of Execution
The first week of Project Arbiter has been exciting to say the least. It has been an incredible week filled with many failures and realizations about myself and the process, and I want to talk about it. Project Arbiter's first project is Executioner. Essentially, Project Executioner is a character building project where its main focus … Continue reading Habit of Execution
Go with the flow, but guide the flow
The biggest thing that I've learned in the past few years is to never force anything that you don't want to do. Go with the flow as they say. Although I do believe that going with whatever nature has in store for us incredibly liberating, it's also the reason why I became complacent, unproductive, and … Continue reading Go with the flow, but guide the flow
Moving on
It's really hard to confess to someone, but it's even more difficult to move on. It's been a very long time since I had feelings for another woman, so it was really hard to move on. Eventually, I learned through a friend of mine to never reminisce. Never look back on the good times, never … Continue reading Moving on
