Yesterday I ran at a running event called Round the Bays. According to their website, it is one of the world’s largest fun runs and New Zealand’s largest mass participation sporting event. It is a 8.4km walk / jog / run from the city along the waterfront to St Heliers Bay, one of the rich suburbs.…

Last night I broke 234 day long meditation streak in Calm.com. While it is unfortunate that I could not find even ten minutes to mediate yesterday, there is a bright side.

I reached 401 day long streak on Elevate today. I was at 101 last time when I wrote about this cool educational app. Elevate combines two of my passions: deliberate practice and building tiny habits. This is what makes me reach out to Elevate as soon as I wake up every morning. It hurts to…

James Clear is one of my favorite habit bloggers. I came across him sometime last year. I am reading his blog ever since. It changed me for the better. I love his content, consistency, and writing style. His work has been immensely helpful to me while I was forming my habit philosophies. Until last week…
