Perplexed and Drifting August

This August had been sort of confused and drifting me in some ways. Confused with the thought process of what I want to do at the professional front as I grew on experience. This has also resulted in a drift from my day-to-day tasks. The drift has also caused some sort of procrastination and laziness. Though these had happened in random, the thoughts that it has left has always been pondering over again and again. The challenges that I had internally gone through are many and some left me furious as well sometimes.

Of all the things the most satisfying part is the Yoga classes which has given some sort of physical activity than mental activity and boredom as it used to be.

Professional

I am bit disappointed myself about my growth and learnability as I am not keeping myself disciplined enough and was considering ways to bring myself back on track. I felt so because I don't see myself doing any value adding stuffs that of late increase my professional value and has always been interested in learning stuffs like Android and likes than what am working on. 

I had also attempted to think about these hampering thoughts bit more and bring traction on stuffs as I prioritize but haven't spent any conscious and concrete effort in doing so!!

I have to improve my contribution in my projects a bit more and be disciplined enough on my commitments along with acquiring new stuffs along the way. The way forward!!

Personal

It was mostly fun-filled and hectic as I blissfully enjoyed watching movies during return journey and was happily cooking once I come back home. At times I had been furious on my family members though I knew that am making mistake and also repented for it at times. This behavior has to be changed it put me down badly.

We (all Thippasandra roomies) have finally vacated the house and moved most of the items to Magesh's flat and a complete weekend was spent in shifting which had taken a toll. However we had fun bargaining at a paint shop while purchasing the materials for the screen holder of Magesh's flat.

More than these the best part was the Yoga classes which has given some momentum and sort of flexibility to the body than just mechanical work. I wish I would learn this art of Yoga with discipline and use it for the betterment.

Overall it was very satisfactory at the personal front barring the stupid furiousness.

Things that needs more discipline

Decisions are being made at the start of every day and month but the discipline to keep up the word of self is yet to be cultivated as I lack on it completely. I had planned to develop an app per week but din't pursue it at all after the first week of august and never remained myself to seriously consider this as an option anytime then. I would be back to square-one in no time if i don't discipline my act on implementing what has been learned.

Learning (New) Strategies

Using Tasks feature of Microsoft outlook as the source for task management is the only idea that I have implemented as it facilitates in capturing all my work related items at a single place. This has helped me a lot in filling my time sheet at office. However I have created a wunderlist task to update the outlook items at the start and end of the day. 

Reading list

Apart from the blogs and magazines that I read usually, I had read the sample content from Amazon on the following mini-habit books
1. Habit Stacking by S.J. Scott
2. Mini habits by Stephen Guise (still reading...)

Overall it is a good read and the best takeaway is that "Big changes in lives starts with a single step". Lets start building the habit step-by-step.
