On productivity and medicine.

  • Falling off the bandwagon.

    I did the unthinkable. Stopped writing as much. However, I have been doing a lot of the habits I started. Working out, mainly. I worked out for more than a week consistently. And was able to deliver several freelance articles to client. Yes, the blog fell a bit silent, but I think I was a…

  • Keeping it simple.

    Some may find the very simple appearance of the website weird. Abhorring, even. Especially these days when it isn’t hard to design a more aesthetically pleasing webiste. Why DID I CHOOSE THIS 2000s DESIGN THEN? I hate to break it to you, but the answer isn’t some deep philosophy about me being a minimalistic at…

  • Moving around is a life-changer.

    I’ve been averaging more than 10 thousand steps, and sometimes much more over the past few days. Have been going to the gym to lift weights consistently, and it’s been so nice. Of course things will get tougher as I resume with “life”, since housejob starts around May, but I will try my best to…

  • I love writing <3

I had a few articles I needed to write for a freelance client of mine, that had nothing to do with me, or my…

  • Atomic Habits and being a better texter

  • I am stuck.

    Sentences shouldn’t start with “I”. Headings, even more so. Shouldn’t use the word more so, it’s outdated. If I listened to every bit of advice out there, and perfected my words, there would be zero posts on this blog. Honestly, I have no idea how often I’ll post here. I have no idea what the…

  • I lost everything

    pretty dramatic, but it is what it is. I lost all the previous posts that I had on imadsawal.com, the version that went up in 2023, in 2021, and 2018. Truth be told, there were only a few posts, in single-digits, but yeah, I lost them, because of not keeping proper backups. I did backup…

Got any book recommendations?
