  1000 days of Elevate

  Today is my 1000 th day play­ing Ele­vate. I broke the streak once in June 2016, not because I slacked but because I was stuck on the dat­ed iPhone 4 run­ning on dat­ed iOS 7 on which the Ele­vate app was slow and crashed repeat­ed­ly. I was also trav­el­ing and did­n’t have reli­able inter­net. I could­n’t let all this break my… Read more

  First four months of 2016

  Since the start of this year, I exer­cised 50 hours and ran 15 5ks. Most impor­tant­ly, I achieved one of the two res­o­lu­tions for this year. I suc­cess­ful­ly com­plet­ed Chai­tanya 3.0 project. More details lat­er. I am not doing very well on the sec­ond res­o­lu­tion: get­ting the per­fect abs. I am fail­ing to eat excep­tion­al­ly well. I ate more junk,… Read more

  Three milestones and two goals

  It is rain­ing mile­stones this week. I hit 100 day streak in med­i­ta­tion. I start­ed med­i­tat­ing this Jan­u­ary but failed rather quick­ly. I say with expe­ri­ence that try­ing to start med­i­ta­tion with twen­ty-minute ses­sions is a sure shot way to stum­ble. So I start­ed again in May with Calm app. I start­ed with their begin­ner pro­gram and even­tu­al­ly real­ized ten… Read more

  Exercise Milestone

  I fin­ished exer­cis­ing this after­noon and checked in to Coach.me to find this inter­est­ing mile­stone. It is indeed 211th check-in as I only start­ed count­ing after the first eleven. 110 of those were in 2014. The rest 101 are in this year. This cheered up my oth­er­wise regret­ful after­noon. I ate well up until lunch and then screwed… Read more

  Elevate milestone

  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 break a habit streak. Espe­cial­ly,… Read more

  How much is too much

  As a per­son­al blog­ger most­ly writ­ing about myself, my biggest dilem­ma is to decide how much is too much. I often won­der if I am expos­ing myself too much on the inter­net. Until recent­ly, I did not even dare to have my pho­to on this blog. I am cer­tain­ly not ready to post my fam­i­ly’s pho­tos here. I may, in the… Read more
