    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 🥂

  • An experience

    A fortunate night

    What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

    There are many things that have helped me, in a way to shape the being that I am today…

    I’ve had my trust betrayed by those whom I considered mine, actually too close to me and when I caught them in the act, they brushed it off like there wasn’t something to begin with, even after all of the chaos, they came back to me and told me that what they said was in the heat of the moment and they didn’t mean it..

    But I told them anger brought out what they really thought about me and my place in their life…

    So slowly I drifted away from their lives…

    Occasionally I see them from afar,

    And when our eyes meet,

    There’s a sense of consideration that I see in them,

    But,

    That phase has long gone so we cross our paths like we are strangers while still acknowledging our past,

    And,

    We walk on our own paths,

    Away from each other…

    (Wishing nothing…!)

    Cheers 🥂

  • 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..!

  • A pair to remember

    Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

    This was the mid 18,

    I started work at my own family business and I started to earn(little money..)..

    Because I started as a helper at my own premises and I did want to go through the entire ladder of management from the worker to the actual owner of the place…

    One day, me and a few of my friends made a plan to travel to a hill station, and we planned to buy stuff for the trip as the day came…

    It was two days before our departure, and I planned to buy some shoes to cruise through the rocky terrain on foot, and not able to find any that would work for me..

    After a lot of worries I finally entered the woodland outlet, and found a whole medley of shoes that were an exact match of my description of course there was a markup of the brand…

    There I saw steel toed boots that were absolutely amazing, compared to the rugged ones that I wore at work which were made by a local company,

    On examining that I felt a vast difference between the ones that I had and those I saw,

    The catch

    those were upwards of 5k and buying that would mean I wouldn’t have enough money for the other one…

    So I put them down and started to look for something that would fulfill my current needs,

    As I saw the pair of blue shoes that matched what I had in mind and wanted to buy, on asking they had it in my size…

    That day was the first time I spent a good 3-4 k on a shoe that still stays with me on good and bad days..

    And it was a beautiful trip and I caught some beautiful pics too…

    They took me where each and every shoe does to my destination and back home safely and in good health…

    Thanks for tuning in, I’ll share some pics of the trip here..

    Cheers 🥂
