1. Understand Why the "Rope" of Consistency Broke Think of your habits as a physical rope. If you pull a rope with more force than it was designed to sustain, it will snap. In habit formation , this is often caused by over-extension. When you start a new gym routine and push too hard, too fast, you reach a point of physiological exhaustion. This leads to one missed day, which snowballs into a month of inactivity. Whether it's burnout or external disruptions like a personal loss, recognizing the "break point" is essential for recovery. The Neuroscience: Why Your Brain Resists Starting Over The human brain is an efficiency machine. To conserve energy, it creates neural pathways —shortcuts that function like well-trodden paths in a forest. The Path of Least Resistance: Humans are biologically wired to choose the easiest option. Scrolling through Instagram requires less glucose (energy) than preparing for a workout. Your brain isn’t "lazy"; it is simply t...

The Secret to Producing More Time in Your Life: 6 Core Time Management Principles Inspired by Dr. Sudhir Dixit’s "Time Management" | By Prem Kaithwas Some years back, I often said, “I wish I had more time .” I used to start my day full of energy, but by evening, I’d feel drained and incomplete — like I did a lot, but didn’t actually move forward. This feeling is common when you haven't mastered personal time management . Then I read Dr. Sudhir Dixit’s seminal book on Time Management. One line from it fundamentally changed how I looked at everything: “You can’t manage time. You can only manage yourself within time.” And it clicked. We all get the same 24 hours. The difference between those who create something meaningful and those who feel stuck isn’t a matter of time — it’s a matter of clarity and self-management . 1. Slow Down to Move Faster: The Power of Deep Work There was a phase where I’d open my laptop, start coding, reply to a few messages, then check something ra...

Why Humans Overthink: An Evolutionary Point of View A few hundred thousand years ago, Earth was wild—and so were we. Survival was a full-time job. Thinking, analyzing, and planning wasn’t a luxury—it was necessary. It helped humans make tools, build societies, and cooperate. Thinking was survival. Today, our living standards have improved, physical work has decreased, and comfort has replaced activity. As the saying goes: A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. But our intelligence became a badge of honor, leading to fragile egos. Now, even small triggers can shatter our self-esteem. We Overthink Because We’re Bored Children play, create, and explore. That’s human nature. Our minds are wired to improve, solve problems, and create. But idle minds wander. Without meaningful activity, thoughts loop into self-judgment and imagined scenarios. Scrolling social media, binge-watching shows, and constant comparison fuel overthinking. Example: Replaying conversations, worryi...

Have you ever found yourself typing the same long command again and again in a project, and thought… "Life would be so much easier if I didn’t have to type this every single time" ? That’s exactly where a Makefile can help you. What is a Makefile? A Makefile is just a plain text file where you define shortcuts for your commands. It tells the make command what to do when you type something like: make up Instead of writing the whole long command every time, you just run make with the shortcut you defined. A Simple Example Let’s say you’re working with Docker and the command to start your app looks like this: docker-compose -f docker-compose.development.yml up Typing this again and again is boring. Instead, create a file named Makefile in your project root and add this: up: docker-compose -f docker-compose.development.yml up Now, all you need to do is run: make up Boom! Much shorter, much cleaner. Adding More Commands You can add as many shortcuts as you want inside yo...

Are you on a vacation but can't stop thinking about your work? You might be a responsible person but that is not the reason you are thinking about it. Your routine is changed recently and you are in a new environment that is new to you. We are people of habits and actions.  Get away with the tools you use for your work or things that get your brain to work on. Your mobile, your laptop, camera or anything that trigger you to open it and check something or do something because you do not have anything to do. What could go wrong when you will be back on work. This thing is most common and reveals that you are scared of something or someone.

Exercise is important but not always, drinking water is important but not always so work is important but not always. What you've chosen is to take a break, make sure that you are taking a br...
