Streaks are very important. For today, I’d not have gotten up had it not been for the streak. Yes, the 2 day streak is the most difficult.
And not just that. I didn’t even think while running today. I was testing the efficiency of my method to achieve runner’s high. And it is pretty much efficient, for me at least. I ran faster and longer, today. But being unable to think is a side effect of running faster.
And while talking about streaks, I’m on a three day streak in learning French using Duolingo, today. I started my streak again because of my friend, who’s on a streak too and catching up with me.
Looking at duolingo, social pressure and streak pressure must be the two things that makes one learn continuously.
On the way back I saw them playing Tennis at the courts opposite cosmopolitan club. That’s when I remembered my failed attempts to learn Tennis and play like Federer.
Talking about Federer, I had once read that forehand was his great weakness once upon a time. But gradually, he turned it into his greatest strength. What is my greatest weakness?

As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
