Documenting 2025

It's day 160 of documenting 2025. Yep!...I had to schedule this one! After noticing how busy I could get this week, I've decided that typing in real-time won't be convenient anymore. One thing tho... You may not notice the difference, except if I mention that the post was scheduled. (Facts 😏) It's Monday, my friend! But it's not a school week, it's a break week. Doesn't mean there's no work at home tho... I've got a humongous pile of laundry...and I have to make a new hairstyle. In addition to content work online. So, it ain't so different. Let's take a look at today's highlights. I may drop my comments on the quotes today... After that, I may share anything interesting that comes to mind. Sounds good?  Great... 🙂 Let's get into it! 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Deliberate Practice "Doing things we know how to do well is enjoyable, and that’s exactly   the opposite of what deliberate practice demands. Instead of doing wha...

It's day 159 of documenting 2025. What a day! 😪 This is probably the first Sunday I would be typing a post this late. My love for scheduling has been renewed. It's better late than never, right? The show must go on. (Not that this is a show...) If you're reading this Sunday, I wish you a wonderful week ahead ☺️ Lemme just start this: I got confused. About a very important aspect in my spirituality. This was due to an assignment given to me by my mentor. Who's a very wonderful lady, by the way. I respect her a lot 💜 After giving feedback on the assignment, she made it clear that I didn't do well. And my reply to her was,  "At this point, I don't know what prayer entails anymore. I have a lot to learn" As I carried out other tasks, I thought of what AI would say on the topic of prayer. Then I decided to ask... I will share the chat on that later on. But first, let's get into Highlights 365 Days With Self-discipline 📌 On Having Options "Always...

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 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 156 of documenting 2025. Intro. Intro. Intro. There, it's done. Let's move on to the good part. There's no chat with AI, because I decided to go to bed early last night. By early, I mean before 10pm. That's my early....but if I lived alone, it would be by 9pm. Lately, lately,  I've been thinking 🤔 About my sleep pattern and how it's affecting some areas of my life. My current sleep pattern isn't serving me well....I'm going to change it. Being a night owl is kinda effective when I don't have somewhere to get to in the morning. As it is now, I have work to wake up and prepare for. So, I have to sleep early. I realized that the hard way after waking up late yesterday morning. The entire morning routine was scrambled for me, my younger brother and my sister because I slipped back into bed after turning off the morning alarm. Good thing the school where I teach is close to my house. I just had to plead with my dad to finish cooking breakfa...

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 154 of documenting 2025 Today, we'll talk poetry. But before that, I want to mention something I've noticed. Can you guess? Maybe not... Well, it goes like this: I haven't been sharing how my day went....in former posts. It usually skips my mind. And boy!...a lot has been happening. Let's start with yesterday. I was so frustrated with the behavior of the students in my class. It was the first day of their test, yesterday. Today is the second. Anyways, what happened was that I set a timer for their test. 10 minutes. They complained that they were not usually timed in their tests before. "That's them" , I said. After 10 minutes, they grumbled as I collected their test books. I kept a straight face. Later on, a student came in, saying he was sent home by the administrator of the school. I also gave him 10 minutes. As he was writing, the administrator came in and asked how many minutes I gave them for the test. Upon hearing "10 minutes",...

It's day 153 of documenting 2025. Oof 😢 Hurts. A lot. To try something out and watch it fall flat on its face. That's what happened with the poll I posted on my WhatsApp channel. That was on Friday. No single response....and I have 21 followers. Same with the survey for this blog. No responses. Yet. I guess not many people read each post in a day. And my followers on the channel are probably busy with more pending matters in their lives. For the record, my friend... I'm not sad.  I don't cry about it either. Because it's a lesson in itself. What I learned?  Position yourself at the right time. The responses will flow...just like that. Apply that to life, if you wish 😉 Anyhoo... It's Monday. And it's test week at the school where I teach. We'll probably close early today. Good for me 😄 Last night, as I was drawing up my schedule...I had a convo with ChatGPT. Topic? Productivity. Very interesting one, I assure you...because I learned something new as we...

It's day 152 of documenting 2025. Wow....😲 June is here! 6th month in 2025. The time for bold steps... Happy New Month, my friend 🎀 I wish you more prosperity, more resources, more reasons to make you smile. I hope your June turns out better than May in all areas of your life 😌 Happy Sunday I wish you a wonderful week ahead...full of good news and wonderful happenings. Speaking of bold steps... I did a review yesterday on how the last month went... As well as how I can improve certain things. This blog included. And I noticed something. I think you're familiar with a section I started a few weeks back, called "Blast From The Past". If you're not, check out the last post. So, I don't think that section is doing well and here are my reasons. Firstly, I always add a link to an early post in the blog. I'm talking posts from January. But then, I also check my analytics for this blog. (I use Google Analytics by the way) And for the past week, I haven't se...
