This site is the love child of 8 hours of deep sleep and an eye poking, wrist slitting dull work proposal.
Problem statement: I hadn’t slept well for three years. I was waking up every hour, averaging only 4 hours of sleep, and it was dreamless, tasteless sleep. As a human I was tired. I was a highly functioning insomniac, running on muscle memory.
Why: I believe it was the bad eye. Joke/not. For now, I can blame stress, poor stress, our ugly duckling stress. Stress carries the world’s weirdest syndromes. “Ran over the ducks crossing the road, dunno, it must be stress”,
Solution: My mom naturally blamed it on my phone and guess what, moms have been right all along, it is not stress, it has always been your phone. So, I switched off everything that can be charged… includinggg… my electric toothbrush ;). Monk mode*,later on this. I might have also switched off some people.
What happened afterwards was nothing extraordinary or enlightening, it is the way you are supposed to function, but for me it was like vision HD.
1. I woke up and I had a new super power. The power of argument. Now, I had the energy to argue about everything and anything. Now I can annoy people without getting exhausted. Look at me showing off, how I am trying to convince you the earth is flat.
2. At 8 AM, I had the idea for the blog. By 10 AM, the site was up with the first draft published. The blog was not really what came to mind. I was just googling 101 ways to avoid the work I was supposed to be doing. The 102nd way was creating a blog.
3. I can simply lift more. I can lift the weights at the gym. I can selectively lift people when they are down. I can lift the building. All of this while convincing you the earth is now donut shape, because isn’t that our favorite shape.
4. You probably cannot tell from my choice of words, but I am generally more cheerful. HA.
Moral: sleep more and procrastinate.. good things might just happen.
Monk mode*: a self explanatory experiment I ran for 10 days but I will write about it soon.
