Documenting 2025

It's day 165 of documenting 2025. Why do we escape? 🤔 A question I recently asked. AI helped with the answers and I'll share the full chat in this post. But before that, I want to make a shout out to a special person. I was going through a difficult time yesterday and it got to the point where I broke down in tears 😭 But this special person was there to cheer me up. I felt better after talking with him and we talked for almost an hour. (Don't get any funny ideas...we're not dating!) He reminded me that I'm not alone and that I can get through anything. Even make the necessary sacrifices to become the person I'm destined to be. Shout out to you, PK ♥️ I appreciate all that you do for me. Being friends with you has been a blessing I thank God for. And I pray he grants you all your heart desires and doubles the joy you have given me. Thank you, Ami 😌 That was heartfelt, right? Well, it came from my heart. (Get the wordplay? 😄) Alright, let...

It's day 158 of documenting 2025. I got two new books yesterday. Their ebook versions actually. The first is "The Psychology Of Money" by Morgan Housel. The second, "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. I added them to my reading list and I may make reference to them in future posts. Insights on the way! 📚 (I did good with the introduction, right? 🙂) Happy Weekend to you, my friend. I hope your week went well. Mine did, mostly... But it's gonna get better, and it starts with Highlights. 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Learning From The Greats "You do not win in a big fight by any patent device. There is not any way by which you can turn your hand and conquer in a time of great trial. You have got to conquer as your fathers and grandfathers conquered before you.  You have got to conquer as strong men have conquered in every struggle of history, and draw   on whatever fund of courage, of resolution, of hardihood, of iron will that you have at your comma...

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 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 137 of documenting 2025. Right now, I'm charging my phone and using that same opportunity to type this post. If I don't finish with it now, I don't think I'll be able to make out time to write and publish it. It's already 2:34pm and I'm just getting started... Some days are like that 😌 All in all, it's still a very wonderful weekend for us all. Don't you agree, my friend? 🎀 Well, yesterday wasn't so interesting. Unlike this morning. So, let's start with that. Today, I attended the first staff meeting at the school where I work. I listened more than I talked... Asked questions... Listened again. Then worked out what I intend to do and contribute to the students. I'll lay it all out on paper in the evening. Something else happened. I finally gained the courage to message someone about my personal problems. Things I haven't told anyone before, not even my closest friend. I'm willing to take the next few months ...

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...

It's day 123 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend, my friend 😊 It's the third day of my break from Whatsapp. And I typed this post yesterday...so I could schedule it on time. The realtime typing will not be convenient because of the power problem in my area. Moving on to the gist... I downloaded Gemini. Why? Meta AI is offline, since I'm not on Whatsapp. ChatGPT is...well, kinda overwhelming with all its updates. I'm not saying it's not good...haven't even used it in a while. I just...want to try something different, that's all. Gemini is....alright. It's good with generating pictures too. It helped me with a plain mockup image...something I can customize. Pretty cool 😎  I guess that's what I'm looking for...an AI that can generate good pictures and help with my content as well. ChatGPT is well known for that...and millions of people use it, as a result. Gemini isn't...so I can explore it as I like. Besides, it...

It's day 116 of documenting 2025. Some realizations just make you think, don't they? 😔 That's how I felt yesterday. Down. In low spirits. Demotivated. But you got to read today's post, right? The show must go on, my friend. I don't want to go into details.... I'll just share today's highlights. No comments... Then share yesterday's chat with Cindy (what I call my Meta AI). Then say my closing lines. Happy Weekend by the way.....🙂 I almost forgot it was Friday yesterday. My mind is jumbled now, so forgive me. Exam on Monday. Pressure and anxiety. Realizing I have more personal defects to correct. It's a whole lot.... Before I start blabbing, here's the highlights for today. 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Taking The Low Road "The problem with making an extrinsic reward the only destination that matters is that some people will choose the quickest route there, even if it means taking the low road....

It's day 109 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend, my friend 🎀 I hope your week was as exciting as mine. And not as stressful.... By the way, the 10-week period is over! JAMB is starting next week! Am I nervous? A little bit... I believe that whatever happens, it will all turn out fine 🤞🏼 Anyhoo.... Yesterday was the second day I decided to try the no-eating-in-the-morning plan. AKA intermittent fasting. Had to leave home early tho... The English class was slated for 9am and I got there 25 minutes earlier. My closest friend asked why I didn't eat before going. I also explained to him about "adding a little discomfort" for a short while, till my exam is done and over with. I did CBT study on my phone...as well as doing an exercise on oral English. (I got 47 out of 60, by the way 😁) By the time it was 15 minutes to 3pm, my phone was charged up and I called my closest friend. He prayed with me over the phone and sponsored my lunch. Such ...

It's day 102 of documenting 2025. Happy Weekend, my friend 😊 I hope your week went well...or ended well like mine. Today being Saturday, take some time to do something that makes you feel relaxed. For me, it would be crochet 🧶....and binge watching my favorite series, Legends Of Tomorrow. But I can't fully relax as my exam is around the corner. The talent show eventually took place at my tutorial center yesterday. It was very interesting...with lots of cheering and laughter 😂 But refreshments were a disappointment.....nothing to show for the  token requested to be paid. At least we closed earlier than 6pm. And I got home with a headache. My closest friend showed concern, as usual....but I told him I'll be fine. It was caused mostly by the loud music played at the event. And the fact that I didn't have my afternoon nap. Headaches like that usually go away after proper rest. No aspirin required 😌 Anyhow, I started a random chat with Meta A...

It's day 95 of documenting 2025. My friend gave me 22 minutes of fun time yesterday. I'm referring to PK, someone you don't know. He's such a darling and he's hilarious 😆  I had finished the first round of CBT practice and it was great talking with him. I guess that was the highlight of how my day went. It's the weekend....let's focus on that. A crazy idea popped into my head. Then I had an unusual chat with Meta AI. By the way, today is Spectacular Saturday! 🎉 Me: What's a weekend related joke? Meta AI: Why did the weekend go to therapy? Because it had a little "week"ness! (get it?)  😂 Me: Tell me something weekend related Meta AI: The weekend is finally here! Did you know that the concept of a weekend originated in the Industrial Revolution, when factories began closing on Saturdays and Sundays to give workers a break? Now, the weekend is a time for relaxation, adventure, and recharging for the week ahead! What are your plans f...
