Footnotes

  1. I used to think doing 15 reps was okay and will lead me to gains, but discovered that 12 of those 15 reps is just timewaste. You do them for those last 3 reps. That’s when it matters. ↩

  2. God knows I’ve read so many self help books, articles about motivation which led me nowhere. Training my body has led me to believe that only action matters when you’re confused. Thinking is for a peaceful and calm mind. ↩

  3. I just love writing my thoughts out into a plain paper, scribbling, drawing ↩

  4. Claude Shannon’s Creative Thinking is one of the most practical pieces I’ve read on Creativeness. Any other book, article, podcast never give you the path that they followed. This article has it. ↩

  5. Ethan Hawke: Give yourself permission to be creative ↩

  6. Have been like this from the start, but lost this somehow in this world. Always been interested about the why’s and how did something get created rather than creation itself. ↩

  7. Loved the David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech so much, watched it 5 times when I first watched it. ↩

  8. We are so much more capable of what we think of ourselves. Underestimating myself was like second nature for me. Never would have done anything if not for the people who believed in me. ↩

  9. You only realise the value of something you love when you let it go. When you love a thing so much, why would you ever want to leave it, right? LOVE YOUR OBSESSIONS. ↩

  10. Observed in me that things that I’m trying to learn stick with me for longer time when I am randomly trying to look through the details. Deadlines suck. Period. ↩

  11. Read somewhere the similarities between generalizing and unlearning. Our brain unlearns by generalising, increasing it’s long term memory capacity each time. ↩
