Pivot
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
A Spoonful of Comfort
Daily writing promptWhat’s your go-to comfort food?View all responses When I think of comfort food, I imagine peace of mind, thoughts quieting to a whisper, and ripples turning into stillness. No food quite reminds me of it except for one special meal. Sardines and Misua Noodles. The thin and delicate noodles remind me of precious … Continue reading A Spoonful of Comfort
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

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
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
Project Arbiter
At the time of writing this, I am a 23 year old working as a software engineer who has a stable job and a normal life. It wasn’t always like this. Life was more chaotic back then and this was the dream of peace I longed for. Now, I want more. I’ve always been ambitious. … Continue reading Project Arbiter
