Rewinding Year 2022 | Siesta — Part 2
Continuing the series from the last, and so April ended as a Success. As I state on April 30: “Best Productive month till now!”
Wondering what this means? How about finding out the context from Part 1! :D
This part contains May — August (Which is some hottest months in India, feels like I will die 🥵)
This time frame was sweet and sour as an Afternoon nap (Siesta).
May — Exams and Motivation
Started with tasting just a teaspoon of beer on May 1 and oh boy, that tasted like piss and smelled like someone’s stomach acid. (Hold up- ) 😆 Jk
But still, I found it inedible, not trying it again!
Opened my own Demat Account and Invested money for real, but It has only costed me, with not much return. Even so, did not lose hope and left my money in there.
Continued my infrequent online meetups with my friends for hackathons, and its awesome when friends have same goals as you!
Half of the month was giving exams, and half about studying those subjects. Though, my brain was again loving the long lost found laziness at home, however I was able to keep it on a leash.
Became, more active on LinkedIn and gained motivation off of individuals who were regularly achieving something. This may be regarded as toxic by many but I was in learning mode so I didn’t care much about it.
A full load of motivation got piled up, which I blasted off in some last days of may and including the month of June.
June — 0 Days wasted
I was at home for the whole month (Summer break from College). I was already ready to make each day count in this month. My will power, already cemented enough to take on this challenge.
And so my list of achievements goes on and on for this month:
- Collecting knowledge,
- disciplining myself to each minute,
- making out the most from each day,
- completing multiple courses,
- optimising my LinkedIn profile and other Social medias
- beginning of my Medium Journey from June 3
- A blog each day
- Coding each day
- Exercise daily
Easily making this the best month of the year! Made myself to understand how precious time is…
July — A Sinusoidal wave of Productivity
A new month, but I burnt out myself mentally. Yet, was able to maintain my discipline somewhat but struggled. Gave my first job interview of my life and cracked it! This was special to me and my family :D
Though, I gradually lessened the amount of articles I wrote, and was enjoying my leftover holidays till half of July.
I hate Summers! 😓
After the month of June, I started judging my day’s performance based on the levels of productivity I achieved. So, every page after the month of June first describes about how much was the productivity that day. And I always felt not so happy about it 😬
Picked up #100DaysOfCode in Python and started coding daily again despite colleges reopened after the break. A new semester begins.
August — Less virtual presence
An article everyday in June, to An article once a week in July, I limited myself to only 3–4 articles in this month. So, not much of my writings in here but this article of mine got hit and made me 5–10 followers each day.
Was going college for most days, distracted enough with matters of daily lives. Coming back home and coding took enough of my time from my writing. Exercise became a rare occasion this month, and not completing my hard fixed goals made some loss in my confidence.
Friendship broken with a close friend, and was in despair for sometime. With this I end the month, with Aug 31 stating: “An average month, neither bad nor too good”
With everything going fine enough, I eventually make my productivity line nearly touch the x-axis. 📉
What actually makes an year a good year?
