    Life saving advices to cut screen time…

    How do you manage screen time for yourself?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    I’m pretty sure most of the world is suffering with this disease of a very long screen time, hooked on Instagram reels, YouTube shorts and videos, clips on TikTok and many more…

    Time seem to pass by so quickly when we are hooked on them that it feels unreal;

    You started watching them at 10 at night and suddenly it’s 1:30 before you can see the time on the phone which was there all the time…

    There are a lot of things that I use to achieve my goal of reducing screen time a few of them are->

    • Having a separate phone for doing writing without any distractions so that I can focus when otherwise I would find a way to stop writing and doom-scroll Instagram..
    • Tracking screen time on both my phones just to keep in touch with how much I used a single app and how much I need to cut back…
    • Presetting a timer on each app which I use a lot for example I set a timer for an hour on Instagram which is a lot less from 4-5 hours which used to happen without knowing…
    • Trying to avoid using phones for the first few hours I usually wake up and pen my ideas or any dreams that I had, which makes all of it interesting as it boosts my writing skills and also imaginative skills which help me remember what happened in my dream world…
    • And at last, I keep my phones a bit away from me like for charging away from me when I have free time so I’d have to walk to it to get it as I’m on my bed, which cuts the interest in getting up and grabbing it a bit more…

    The last one is a big mind thing I know…😭😂

    And I hope these works for someone in need…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Chaos to Clarity: My Writing Journey and Productivity

    Daily writing prompt
    When do you feel most productive?
    View all responses

    Hey

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    The prompt of this day,
    forced me to think the duality of the life I am living…

    One where I manage and run a business,
    another one where I do all of this writing,
    it has been a chaotic mix of feeling thing and tirelessly working my b|_|tt off..

    All of us know that living two lives within these 24 hours isn’t possible but we all have to manage right…?

    The most productive I am during work is the afternoon hours,
    i.e. 12 pm to 3 pm,
    but,
    it’s the exact opposite for this writing between 12 am to 3 am;(IST)

    Waking up early to set things in order,
    and then working on them including this blog,
    and Instagram post before I have to leave for work,
    the fine line between night and day blemishes,
    and for weeks it feels like I haven’t taken a day off,
    but,
    the show must go on…

    So,
    I think you get a gist of the type of broken schedule I live on,
    necessarily the dependent on caffeine is hard and takes a toll on this mind and body too…

    But,
    both parts of my life requires different strengths,
    different capabilities,
    very drastic shifts in focus,
    and,
    with that I need to have a very cool, calm and a composed mind…

    But,
    from the chaos that I’m in,
    generates a world so vivid and well versed,
    that it feels almost surreal..

    And,
    this is the type of blessing I seeked all along,
    to live a vivid, beautiful life with,
    hard work too so i can get a good nights sleep…

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    That’s how I am staring at nothingness some of these days…

  • HIS WORLD THROUGH HER LIPS…

    Even if there’s no one,
    you’ll always have yourself,
    There’s always someone who will look at you and admire you,
    the type of person you are,
    the choices you make,
    even if they feel they are not beneficial at present,
    they shall be in the near future,
    I know that,
    but,
    the world needs to know that too…

    I know you walk alone on paths,
    because you still remember,
    how hard it was to bring yourself up,
    when nothing was going right,
    when you lost the entire world,
    that Wednesday,
    early morning,
    when the entire world was dead asleep,
    you know you lost yourself,
    you lost something that mattered to you,
    and was there someone who had your back,
    was there someone who patted your back,
    was there someone who took you in their embrace…?

    That’s why…

    There isn’t going to be anyone,
    and therefore, there shall be a place for no-one…

    (That’s really cruel to anyone who tries to come near you with the right intentions…)

    But,
    who will…?

    Who will indeed..!
