Parents turned off my alarm this morning. It's that specific type of love that happens when you're about to leave for college - they want to spend every possible moment with you, take you everywhere, make sure you feel loved before you go.
And here I am, being completely toxic about it because all I wanted was to stay home and code.
The Gravity of Productivity
Did four leetcode problems today. Took me two hours. That's literally all I can call "productive" about my entire day since morning.
Last week I got too comfortable with calling myself productive, but I learned something important: if you don't maintain momentum, gravity doesn't lose its power. It just waits. Waits to pull you down from whatever height you think you've climbed to.
The thing about productivity isn't that you have to be perfect every day. It's that you have to respect the pull. You have to know that the moment you get too comfortable, physics kicks in.
Digital Detox: Deleting the "Essential"
Made a decision today I never thought I would: deleted WhatsApp.
The university group chat was destroying my focus. Every notification was pulling me away from what actually mattered. So I deleted it entirely.
Funny how we classify certain apps as "must-haves" until we actually remove them and realize we're perfectly fine without the constant stream of notifications and distractions.
Project Update
Started social media handles for my first project today. No idea if anything will grow from this, but at least I'm putting it out there.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is plant seeds without knowing what kind of garden you're growing.
The Night Check
Today won't go down in history as a productive day. But before I sleep, I can at least say I won't go to bed with regret.
Because that gravity I mentioned? It's always there, waiting. And the only way to deal with it is to acknowledge it exists and keep moving anyway.
Tomorrow's another day to respect the pull and push back harder.
