Documenting 2025

It's day 157 of documenting 2025 . Happy Celebrations! 🎊 This is to our Muslim brothers and sisters all over the world. And to the rest of us, happy holidays. It's a Friyay! 😄 Guess where I am? Not in school...that's for sure. And for the whole of next week, there's no school. Thank God for the mid-term holidays! I was supposed to schedule this post last night. But it's all good...you're reading it now and it's another day added to the streak! There's something I realize just now. My posts are not top notch. I still don't know how to structure a proper blog post, fit for a brand's website. I still don't know how to conduct proper research and gather enough insights to write a post that will educate and lead a prospect to the next step. I'm just documenting here! But there's something that I'm learning how to do. That is, showing up consistently. Even when the timing is wrong. Even when I face problems in the real world. Even whe...

It's day 155 of documenting 2025. Wednesdays 😇 Umm....that's it. I don't even know how to start today's post. If you've been reading my posts, you'll notice that I'm not so good in introductions. Or beginnings. But I try, don't I? It's the 6th month already and it still doesn't feel like I've been writing for the past 5 months. It feels like I just started. Don't know if it's a good or bad thing... I'm just saying 😌 Anyways (after awkward introductions, I can now flow...), today is the last day of test week at the school. Thank God! Yesterday wasn't as frustrating as Monday.  I got quite tired tho...and had a good nap as the rain brought in cool breeze. Tis the rainy season, my friend 💧 I watched something interesting last night. It was a 4-minute YouTube video by Robert Greene on the importance of reading books. This was my thought pattern after watching the video: Success starts in the mind 🧠 Expanding our mind greatly...

It's day 151 of documenting 2025. Last day in May What shall I say? None but God's praise, I'm alive today! Happy Weekend my friend 🎀 Another week's gone, And a new month approaches. Can I say ' Happy New Month In Advance "? I think I can... Yesterday, I marked another milestone...150 days of writing this blog. I decided to create a survey to get your feedback on this Documenting 2025.  See it here. After 7 simple questions, you're free to keep reading. I haven't gotten any response yet...hopefully, I can get yours. Thank you for your time ☺️ The recent single by Rachel Platten and Lindsey Stirling (my top violinist) is lit! 🔥 It's called, "Unfolding" . The lyrics are inspirational... The beat coupled with the violin sound is surreal. You should listen to it....you'll see what I mean 🎻 And yes! I finished with chapter 4 of "The Ultimate Focus Strategy" by Martin Meadows. That is, after reading 365 Days With Self-discipline...

It's day 149 of documenting 2025. It's another day for Focus Series. Yep! I said it! Err.....scratch that 😐 It's just Thursday. Ignore the silly start, my friend... The beginnings are sometimes messy, aren't they? But it gets better, surely. I finished the third chapter of another book I'm reading, The Ultimate Focus Strategy by Martin Meadows. I finished the last section after reading through day 149 of the usual read. Highlights on that later... I take 10 minutes to read section of the two books. How I know? I set a timer for 10 minutes only. Ten minutes of reading daily usually compounds, doesn't it? Besides, the usual read is what I call a consistency companion for this blog. It's how I tell myself, "Heads up, Duon! It's time to write!" Tomorrow will mark 150 days since I started this blog. I mark a milestone every 50 days. The next milestone is day 200. But tomorrow, I want to try something different. Anticipate!......

It's day 145 of documenting 2025. A new week approaches. In the meantime, we're still in the weekend. Happy Sunday, my friend ☺️ Today, we'll finish what we started in yesterday's post. Part 2. But first, lemme just say a few on how yesterday went. I did a bit of crochet... And finally finished a beanie I started months ago. At first, I listened to Lindsey Stirling's tracks in a playlist while I crocheted. Then I had to charge my phone....but I finished the last part in silence. The best part was that I focused on it for 30 whole minutes. Without the violin music. I realized something. The process to finishing a project one starts will always be boring. And repetitive. Sometimes frustrating. But the joy one feels when the project is finally complete is priceless 💎 To be honest, there are still unfinished crochet projects in my stash. I started them....but then I just came up with an excuse to drop them. I lost interest in the process. Picking ...

It's day 144 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend, my friend ☺️ You may be reading this post late...or early, depending on where you are. I'm typing this now...by 9:55 am (Nigerian time). I just have 45 minutes on the clock Shoot! 😐 I haven't read today's note from the usual read! Guess I have to pause the timer. Be right back! (6 minutes and some seconds later...) I'm back! I finished reading through day 144 in 365 Days With Self-discipline. A book that has a note for every day of the year. It's what I use for highlights....a section of the post where I share quotes and give my take on them. Alright...back to what I wanted to say. Oops! Gotta resume the timer! ⏲️ There...done. (The timer will probably ring before I finish typing...but it's cool) Now let's continue. It's the rest period...for most of us working a job. Although I think some jobs require you to work on a Saturday. Mine isn't included. I'm at home now chilling...and a...

It's day 130 of documenting 2025. Why do I want what I want? That's what I asked myself. Until yesterday, I had not really thought about why I wanted to accomplish my goals. Well, I figured it all out and got it down on paper. Even made a soft copy for future reference... I think it's all coming together. Slowly. Why I want to focus and do better than I did last time. Piece by piece...you will become a masterpiece. Just take your time 😌 In other news... I finally saw my JAMB result yesterday...when it was released. I scored 287 out of 400. Pretty good if you ask me... Based on my efforts, I'll say it was a deserving score. A friend asked what I wanted to study... I told him Psychology. He replied, " With that score?" "You can go for something better". I told him it was my choice. A very rare one in my case. My neighbor said so. Right now, it's admission requirements and processes. Till the time I actually get admitted, I plan to wor...
