What Writing Is Teaching Me About Attention?

No worry to complete the blog before twelve. Just clarity and consistency matter the most. Scattered thoughts and confusion earlier didn't even give me favourable results, then why worry? Just chilling and writing out my experiences honestly. But what's between chaos and clarity? It’s nothing other than attention.

Every day rereading blogs has made me notice one most important brain pattern. It’s not inbuilt but has to be developed. Focus or attention are the terms which define that brain pattern. I am still trying to be consistent in developing it.

While reading my former blogs, I was trying to figure out something which could be improved in the next blogs. In the initial days, I was just trying to write some scattered learnings with a bit of grammatical errors. But when I write now, I try to pick one thought at a time.

The incident is about twenty days old. When I found my thoughts were scattered, I made up my mind to improve. From the next day, I picked a specific thought and tried not to revolve around others and stick to it. Whenever I wrote anything not related to the topic or the learning, I just deleted that whole word, sentence, or paragraph. It helped to stick to one topic. It wasn't easy but was not much difficult.

In the first two or three days, I ended up messing my thoughts in the blog. I was literally struggling with chaos of notions. But after a few days, problems started to sort out.

Writing ideas again and again not only helped me to stick to a specific thought but also helped me to think deeply about my ideas. It has given me clarity to remove distraction of notions.

For you, it might be quite normal. But for me, it's something unique that needs to be shared. From confusion to clarity, focus played a crucial role in this improvement. I acknowledge this as one of the key factors for growth.

What I notice, I write. Isn't it proof of the attention which I discovered lately through blogs?

Why I Decided to Start Writing as a Beginner?

As you could understand by the title only that I am trying blogging even without experience. Today only, I created my Blogger account for a single reason — the reason that many of us face nowadays, the inability to talk to anyone but wanting to talk out our views. Some say it’s an introvert kind of behaviour; I don’t think it’s introvert behaviour. In fact, I think it’s all about a person’s hesitation in talking to someone. I am the same kind of guy who doesn’t know how to convey himself to others. All I have is the hesitation of what if someone says something. Then I decided, why should I not write to express myself ? Writing is the only mode of communication I am comfortable with. Why starting felt scary? Starting to write is the most difficult part. All I was doing was thinking about what I would write and what if it doesn’t work out for me. There was a certain sort of confusion going on in my mind and a little bit of fear about whether I would write things well. The ma...

What hesitation taught me about starting something new?

Yesterday, I wrote a blog about writing a blog without experience. While writing the blog, I was having a certain sort of confusion or hesitation, which is normal for me. But I thought it is a universal rule that whenever an individual starts something, he or she faces certain confusion or has a fear of judgment. A fear which can be considered the biggest problem an individual faces before starting something new. But I thought, what is there to fear? Whosoever judges me, just judge. Fear is normal, but overcoming that fear is not normal for everyone. I know my efforts will help me overcome that fear. I made that effort yesterday and wrote. It felt amazing after writing a blog. I felt that no judgment can break my will to write. Hesitation and fear can only be beaten by the key known as consistency — a word which is familiar to everyone, but not everyone follows. I was also a non-consistent person, but I thought, why don’t I become consistent if it helps in my growth? Why d...

How Daily Writing Is Improving My Focus and Clarity?

Hi everyone, how are you all? Today’s topic is something that we all look for to do any sort of work. It’s something that is required even before the starting of any work, i.e., focus and clarity. Isn’t it, guys? Have you ever started your work without focus or clarity? I think no, because you can’t even think to start without these two. Guys, just tell me, do you like scattered things or well-mannered things? I think well-mannered will be the answer. So where does it come from? It comes from focus and clarity.  Earlier, I wrote about the thinking of thoughts or the web of thoughts that revolves in my mind for writing and not starting it; they all were scattered thoughts. But nowadays, I know what to write and how to write. That’s the work focus and clarity have done for me. I know from where to start, and I know what to write about my learnings and thoughts in the blog. The scattered thoughts got channelised into a single one, i.e., to start writing. Daily writing play...
