How I Waste My Time | Day 19

 

How I Waste My Time (And Still Cry About Having None)

You must have read those productivity tips online —
“Wake up at 5AM,”
“Use the Pomodoro method,”
“Time block your day.”

But we? We’re built different.
Here’s how I actually waste my time… and then complain that I don’t have any left.

The Cycle of Self-Sabotage

I come home after coaching — exhausted, eyes red, brain fried.
I know I should sleep.
But no. There are “important” tasks pending:
like scrolling Instagram so that i dont have to deal with FOMO

While scrolling, I suddenly feel… energized.
Dopamine hitting like I had a Red Bull.
But the second I keep my phone down, I start yawning like hell.
And by then, I’ve already wasted an hour (or more).

Now I have to sit to study.
But my attention span? It’s gone.
I read the same page thrice and still have no idea what is going on?

Enter the Overthinking Zone

Then the classic spiral begins:
“Bro, what am I doing with my life?”
“JEE is 200 days away and I’m still stuck in this loop.”
“I’m gonna regret this. I know I will.”
But then the chill guy inside me goes:
“Relax. We’ll manage somehow.”

But Here’s the Real Talk

Let’s not sugarcoat anything —
This time is not coming back.
And the sad part?
I know it.
I know I’ll regret wasting these days.
I know I’m not serious enough.

There’s nothing wrong with my brain.
There’s no issue with my potential.
I’m just not serious.
And maybe… that’s your story too.

So if you’re reading this, and you’ve been feeling the same way —
please know: there’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re not “dumb.” You don’t “lack talent.”
You just haven’t switched gears yet so gear up cuz its time to 


TURN THE TABLES!!!!!

🎥 What If My Life Was a Reel? | Day 2

🎥 What If My Life Was a Reel? It’s kinda crazy to even try to sum up a whole life in one reel, but shoot... let’s dream for a sec. It would start with me and my family stepping out of my dad’s car — then boom, at the peak beat of some epic background music (probably Destroyer of Worlds ), we transition to us getting out of a supercar , all in black suits and sunglasses , with my dog in a tuxedo, slow-mo walking to close a billion-dollar deal . Cue the crazy rich montage edits — jets, yachts, the works. (Look, if we’re dreaming, we’re dreaming BIG. 😂) But then... I WISH it was that easy. If life was just a 30-second aesthetic reel, it would skip over all the real stuff — the actual experiences, the learning, the messy growth, the weirdly beautiful chaos. You know what my real-life reel would actually look like? 40% me opening the fridge and forgetting why I’m there 30% switching between three apps and accomplishing absolutely nothing 20% thinking about those em...

Success Precedes with Balance | Day 3

  Hustle Culture vs Chill Culture: Why Balance is Everything We’re living in a time where you can spot two major types of people everywhere: The Hustlers and The Chillers . The Hustlers: These are the people who are always grinding — non-stop. In my classes, I see students who live in textbooks 24/7. No physical exercise, no social life, no hobbies — just study, eat, sleep, repeat. Sure, they might build a great career on paper. But somewhere along the way, they lose the spark. They forget how to be still, how to enjoy the moment, how to actually live . They end up becoming isolated, burnt out, and honestly... kind of miserable. The Chillers: On the flip side, you have the ones who seem like they’re permanently on vacation mode. Always bunking class, always out somewhere, doing literally everything except what they're supposed to. They’re fun to be around — kings and queens of socializing — but if you can’t show up for your own future, no amount of "rizz" ...

Teenagers and Spirituality????? | Day 1

  Do Teenagers Even Need Spirituality? Okay, real talk — what even is spirituality? Like… people throw that word around a lot, but to me, it’s just about trying to connect with something bigger than yourself. That “something” could be God, energy, nature, the universe, your higher self — whatever makes you pause and go, “Whoa, maybe I’m not the main character in this whole existence thing.” And honestly? I think teens do need that connection. Look, our generation is low-key fried. We’ve got a million tabs open in our heads, attention spans shorter than a TikTok, and this constant feeling of rushing — but to where , exactly? We get so caught up in school, goals, social media, the grind, the comparison game… that we forget to just be . To sit in silence. To wonder. To trust. Sometimes, I think we forget there’s something (or someone) out there that knows what’s going on — even when we don’t. Like, haven’t you ever had a moment where something happened, and at the time it made...
