The first question popped is, how? I usually will go into a “cocoon” mode where I try to run all the possibilities in my head. Till my head is about to explode, then I’ll stop. Sometimes I’m quite satisfied with it. But sometimes I still not sure. Often I forget that if I discuss it with the right person, most of the times the solution is much simpler that what I have in mind. Then, the next question is, is […]

When everything is urgent, there is no urgency
I believe it also applies to importance of something. If everything is important, there is nothing important. Then the next question is, how do we prioritize? Some of the common prioritization which probably you had heard of are FIFO (First-In-First-Out), LIFO (Last-In-First-Out), or which task/project which will make your resume looks better (there is such thing), or by due date, or by complexity and many more. Almost the last week of the year, looking back, I was wondering where did […]
When did the last time you’re being honest to yourself?
It can be related to something you want, or perhaps your feeling. The most common “pretend” for me is pretending that I’m okay. Sometimes because of physical condition, i.e. sick, or emotional, when things are just overwhelming. Pretend can be about feeling too, that you don’t like it, but you decided to hold it for the sake of other party. But whatever pretend it is, it’s not healthy. When something is building up, it will explode sooner or later. Can […]
Distract, distraction and distracted
Do you feel to concentrate doing one thing is getting more and more difficult? If not, good on you. As I feel that more and more often. I tend to solve easier stuffs and procrastinate on the more difficult stuffs. Unfortunately, the more difficult stuffs often more important. Sometimes I can’t stand to have some quiet time, I need to have some background noises to bring my concentration. However it can distract me too from what I should be doing. […]
Day one or one day?
What’s your mission? Do you still remember it? I feel that sometimes we will just get carried away with our day to day life and then we forgot about why we do it for the first time. Because we were dragged by the wave of life, we then forgot why we are doing it for the first time. Happened to me recently when I flipped my notes to early this year. And I found what I had scribbled about what […]
The thrill of going to a new place
When was the first time you’re going a trip by yourself? And where? Can you remembered it? I think my first solo trip was one of my work trip. I was worried at first, but luckily I’ve been to that place before with my manager. So I kind of know my way. Then it gradually becomes I need to go to a new places by myself. And I lost count after that. One thing I learn from my recent trip […]
Traveling Solo
It’s not my first time as I traveled alone for work often, and in between I did some exploration to local places. I just came back from Prague yesterday 2D1N trip. It was quite last minute decision to just go there. I booked it like 2 days before the flying day. And the best part is, I didn’t do research about the place I’m visiting till D-1. (It’s so me!) No, it’s just that after work I was so brain-tired […]
Making time for things that matters
This article reminds me of some sayings that “There is no such things as no time, but it depends on whether the thing is mattered to you”. My sensei sometimes asked in the class how we see “working from home”. I said it’s great since we have flexibility to do some work at home, and some of my classmates agree with this too. But she said, she doesn’t like it. It means there is no separation between work and non-work […]
