Experiment with standing up

I tried a different experiment yesterday. Trying to stand for the most part of the day. Needless to say it failed but was not a catastrophic failure. The morning was was easy except the time I was having breakfast. I had an exhibition to attend for most part of the day. Decided to take public transit instead of the car to ensure I don't have to sit down. More than half the day passé without sitting. It was only in the evening after getting back home when I had a friend over that I had to sit down. As standing in front of a guest is really awkward.

I might not do this on a regular basis but will surely give this a try again one of these days.

The habit of writing.

I have tried to write many times before and haven't done a good job of it ever. Decided to pen down a few efforts I am trying to make to be able to write this time.

The urge to write is out of the lifestyle that I tend to live loaded with end to end packed routines. It doesn't leave me with any space to collect the thoughts in any way. The routines as a result get more mindless every passing day. Writing seems to be one of the easiest ways of collecting it all together for a little while before heading back to the routine.

I have decided that for the initial few posts I won't be restricted by topic or style of writing. Will just let it flow and see how it goes. And then take it from there. Evolve with every post.

Tool of my choice is omni writer. Really wanted a minimilist writing tool. Haven't evaluated many options but the minimalistic nature gives me a feeling already I won't need anything else ever.

Decided to ditch the old blog to avoid legacy posts have an effect on the writing. The new blog space has not been reserved at the time of writing this.

The question weather to read and re read what I have written or just let it flow. I would let it flow for now and then come do a complete revision in the end.

Recently got myself a nice pair of noise cancellation headphones and they seem to have an instant impact. I have survived this far in this post is a testimony of the same.

Future posts. Few ideas are already clouding my head. Would like to do a post on minimalist use case based approach I have started taking in life and how its transforming me.

One big inspiration has been zen habits blog. I am not particularly a fan of it but have seen its writing evolve and go through phases. That I believe is what I want. To evolve myself with every post. To have people following me evolve with me.

Wish me luck. Yes one more time.
