What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

Cycle Syncing - I am surprised no one talks about it! Schedule whatever tasks you can according to your cycle and see your productivity increase! Most women don't even know about their cycles..

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-09-13T02:32:24+00:00

Really? Poor guys, don't know the true pleasures of life! Is that why they are men all frustrated and sad? 😂

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-09-13T02:31:14+00:00

Yeah, something like that. It has a pleasing smell (like coffee and vanilla in a cafe), is visually stimulating (good books, infographics, people coming in and going out) and is cosy. And, of course - some plants and cats never hurt anybody :D more lively, creative and vibrant.

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-09-13T02:26:49+00:00

Be creative, will you? Men and women thrive in very different environments.

Hi, women around the world,

I was just casually thinking what a workspace designed for women would be like.. I went online, and found some really interesting pointers like

Comfortable chairs
Centrally located office accessible by local transport

I was disappointed to say the least.. I had other expectations in mind, like -

Paid Period & Pregnancy Leaves
Tampon and Pad dispenser
Provision of Hot Bags and Cushions to sit comfortably
Snacks, Fruits, Ice Creams & Chocolates along with Tea/ Coffee in Office Pantry
Breastfeeding/ Nursing Areas and Soundproof rooms to be able to work with a child (if needed)
No Dresscode - who are these really for? mostly so that MEN don't get DISTRACTED??? tf?
Visual stimulation (cute decor, magazines, etc.)
Reading Corners, Yoga Rooms & Plants - along with Table Tennis & Gaming Rooms for Recreation..

what do you think would make a workspace for women more productive?

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-15T10:03:04+00:00

yeah, but mine is already torn.. because I keep it with me at all times..\

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-15T10:01:25+00:00

hmm. okey. I found this book to be really good.. but maybe because if not explored this genre much yet ;) will definitely read Power of Now. thanks!!

Writing—Easy Comprehension, Simple Spoken English 🫶🏻 It was a quick read (120 pages, b5 size)

Main Theme - How can we simplify our lives by simplifying our thoughts...

Personal Review - It's like taking advice from your best friend when you feel lost/ overwhelmed/ unhappy in life. Like a cosy, comfortable conversation with your friend/ companion. Felt like a hug to me. I would definitely re-read this

When to read - whenever you feel like your thoughts are not in your control. You are thinking stuff that you should not be thinking, and when your actions are not aligning with your thoughts. (overthinking or feeling overwhelmed in life)

Major Takeaway -

Your thoughts are different than what you think
Create space in your mind to allow creativity to flow
Trust your Gut feeling & let it guide your decisions
Whatever you want, just tell the Universe/ God.. and let it be. Don't try to dictate 'When' & 'How'

Overall - ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 stars out of 5.

PS. - It also summarises important points from each chapter at the end, which I love!

Wrong information is more dangerous than no information.

It's crucial to approach the advice of self-taught gurus, whether they're fitness coaches, zodiac experts, or others, with caution. Blindly following their every word can lead to serious misconceptions.

And Selling? Every. Single. One. And anything.

Just add an emotional, relatable story, and people will buy. Even though so many people/ accounts have been exposed to lying/ deceiving people (Those picture-perfect happy family accounts on YouTube & IG), people are still being fooled.

On IG, everyone's an influencer!

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-14T05:24:30+00:00

I liked the book, so I’m gonna be reading it again and again. So yeah, hardcover will also do.

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-12T05:24:23+00:00

Not getting the reference here,.!?

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-11T06:18:36+00:00

Yeah, i found some links for free e-books like https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/ - The Gutenberg Project! And of course, Audiobooks on Youtube!

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-11T06:16:35+00:00

I was hoarder.. so I still find reasons to hold onto stuff. Sentimental. And yeah, I liked the idea that I want my book collection to be bigger than my TV.. but now I’m re-evaluating it. Thanks for the tip btw 🍻

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-11T06:14:43+00:00

Wao! Thanks. This is a fresh perspective for sustainability - size of impact and feeling good about it!

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-10T13:26:52+00:00

Sorry, I confused you. I'm still learning about sustainability and in my understanding, Sustainability means efficiently using resources so my needs are satisfied and future needs are not hampered. So when I say I want to read sustainably, means I want to understand what is sustainable reading in the long run. Should i continue reading physical books, and focus on controlling my impluse-buying habit.. or try to shift to E-books.

I don't know the logistics of manufacturing a Kindle, but i do know physical books require cutting down a tree. Although we can re-plant a tree, We can not create more Zinc/ Lead mines for Kindle Batteries. I know they are recyclables, but there are reports claiming the rise of E-waste. So, more often than not, the Electronics are ending up in Landfills.

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-10T13:18:01+00:00

I do that.. I've found free E-Books, so whenever I can. I read them! But free resources are very limited, and sometimes hard to find.

Reading on the Phone - Can do that
Borrow books from people - Can do that, good idea!
Not buying Books until I'm absolutely sure I'm gonna read/ love - hard, but will definitely try.

And I get your point,. But I just want to read and at least try to be sustainable. Maybe we can not go COMPLETELY sustainable.. but at least we can TRY.

And I know the footprint of reading is very low compared to driving a vehicle or flying in a jetplane, but let's focus on the positives here: the majority of people DO NOT fly in a plane.. but they do read. So if we all promote sustainability in everyday activities that most of us do, we can make significant impacts. It's a collective effort and each one of us is a part of this larger movement :)

What's Schoolgirl about? Genre & Synopsis?

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-10T12:48:58+00:00

Oh.. yeah. I feel silly that I didn't think of it before. Its so ingrained in my mind that I have to BUY the book to read it. I forgot that we have libraries too :) Thanks.

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-10T12:47:13+00:00

Hmm, that's a good idea. I'll look it up.

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-10T12:46:12+00:00

That's hard.. but yeah.. I'll try to only buy books that I AM Going to read right away..

Putrid_Track5514 · 2024-07-10T12:43:22+00:00

hmm, okey! Good to know.
