January is over.
The first month of this year dropped gems and sparked new beginnings however it has been dark for a short minute. The year starts with a redirection of the word “resolutions” to “intentions”, assessing weekly OKRs and finding peace in the mind.
First week.
I started to create ideas in a picture form, dismantling the labyrinth mapping I have been used to. I think a lot about various problems and sometimes get struck by genuine inspirations. Despite that, there is little motivation to act on these. I may be sounding pessimistic but I legit try hard, maybe not harder.
Learning to picture intentions
Second week.
I started building my perception of what time means and how it affects me. On unusual days that week, I recorded myself talking about my time with time. It helped with the self-bashing at least restrained the damage.
Channelling the inner voice
Third week.
I made strides in achieving 40 per cent of my monthly OKRs. I attained clarity in this week through conversations with Jaleela, Ben and random contacts. My love for Design grew even though I ended up not creating any “wow” projects.
I continued to code, something I should be doing daily.
Consistency is not a goal, it is a road.
This week.
I feel to sum my experiences for this week, I would say it has been a stretch of self-doubt and loss of hope. I am confident but not as confident as I think inside. I built a way to focus on handling disappointments yet I am still deeply secluded in my own reality. I earned an internship at Complete farmer, an agric startup; a milestone I have not found myself celebrating.
Put confidence in failing so you still get to enjoy them.
From legendary books and my own self-help exploration, I think taking each step at a time would be the best takeaway so far. Things take time but I still have to take the time.
More hours spent coding, designing and building cool ideas = more work done.
This is a personal journal of my January. Want to see me write more, visit my disha page and explore my journey.
