Dear future Soham,

Morninggg or Afternooonn or Eveninggggg or NIghtttiiii if you're going to tuck right in after reading this part of my exciting life...I guess we could call it exciting! TODAY WAS A BRILLIANT BRILLIANT DAY. WHAT A DAY. I mean this was one of the most productive days of 14 and a half of my life. To start from the top...last night I was downloading this alarm app and I found this productivity app for studying and time management etc...and I wanna tell you all bout it!!! I got up and ofc did the exercise...today's session was muscle-based..so even though we didn't sweat- we built them muscles. Now the other day  I was thinking if yall know what I mean when I say "exercise" basically...my pops bought a course for exercise which had recorded sessions and when u play them they look live; and so we've been using that for the past year now and we just choose a session and we exercise with the trainers on the big screen.  When I came back into my room I realized that the alarm app had been set for 7 30 and since we start to exercise at bout 7 28...i really didn't hear it and it kept ringing for 40 mins straight adding up to my total usage and so I uninstalled it but it didn't go away from the time usage app and then I blacklisted it from that app. Now before I continue...the phone usage app calculates which app has been used how much is different from the one I installed last night. I quickly had set up that app last night and so it had shown me what needs to be done and I got more knowledge of how to use it in the morning. So what happens in this app which is called"FLIP" btw, this app is BOMB. So I started using it for the first thing I had to study AI. and I had set up a background noise option that had the sound of fountain pen writing and that was helping me focus incredibly. Right after that, I started remembering history notes...I really never have sat at one place and learned notes but today I did...and boy (or girl :) that was everything...I sat and I wrote the answer in this big-ass rough book and so I saw the question...I converted the answer into an easier way to remember and then I wrote the real answer on the next page. So on the left side of the book is the broken down sentence...and on the right side of the book, I wrote the whole answer! I WAS SO FOCUSED. It was driving me nuts how focused I was. It felt as though I was born for this. It was super incredible to learn those history notes and as I learned them...I really understood and therefore memorized them too! That was so so so gooddd. In English which I had to study next...I blundered...I opened Youtube (and this was about 10 36 AM or so and also I hadn't opened Instagram also since I had woken up) on my laptop.i really was struggling with focusing so instead I played the guitar on that app I was talking bout yesterday. I swept the house again today although the made had come later...but she comes very very late....she comes at 1 30 and that's just useless... it's been 6 plus hours that we have been awake and the house is still a big ass mess. I was watching a couple of videos for studying on youtube yesterday as I had mentioned yesterday and in one of those videos a girl (who was and is really really fucking pretty) said this thing bout "flame meditation" where u light a candle and focus on it for around 10 mins and it helps you focus and remove useless thought/s and increase productivity....and for that, I had ordered scented candles last night along with an alarm clock for me and they had already arrived in the morning (in less than 12 hours of order placement) had come and I was sooo sooo excited. I opened them up and the alarm clock was awesome but dad was there when I opened it and he said why do u need this u have a phone and that made me realize that I can only set one alarm on this alarm clock and not multiple...*REALLY MADE ME QUESTION MY DECISION* I though bout returning it but then dad said why don't u put this in my room(or the master bedroom)(769 words sheeeeeeeeesh) so I quickly ordered batteries on swiggy which came in like an hour and I put up that compact clock...it was so compact....so good and it looked perfect in that room. No the scented candles...they were and are AWESOME. They came in these cute glasses and they were colored and scented. The first candle bottle was broken and we dint put it on return coz we really didn't need the bottle cap...we just needed the wax...so we still used it. I kept two bottles with me and gave one to mom coz she asked for it and then I did the flame meditation thing. I think from 11 30 to 1 10 or so I really didn't do much but after that, I really really got into reading the book I'm currently reading...40 mins straight...BEAUTIFUL. I had to guitar next but most of that time went into cleaning the house but I still got in bout 30 mins and so that was really good. Later...I had to study maths from Vidyamandir's module but Divyam was using my laptop for some work so instead, I did it from this example and once again the focus in me was crazy...the FLIP app really helped with the background and time management throughout the day too. I am pretty sure I practiced from the examples for 50 mins straight but then I was starting to lose my concentration and also I really wanted a coffee so I made some. Yesterday or the day before yesterday I drank Black coffee for the first time...dad drinks it like thrice a day and I wanted to give it a shot so I tried it and girl(or boy)...that was simply brilliant. And today I had it bout 3 or 4 times...I really have already built up the Black coffee taste and it's so light it doesn't feel like your drinking something and also it's sorta refreshing. (A small note...I was typing this on my laptop but that suddenly ran out of battery and took 5 mins to turn back on and then I had to take a dump so I'm typing this from the bathroom while I'm on the seat of the toilet) After the whole maths exampler we all played ludo together...F U N n F A M T I M E. We played maybe for 30 mins when we decided to take a break. Divyam and dad were writing their story; so if u don't know/ remember...these both gentlemen sit down, watch a video on YouTube of a story and divyam repeats the story while dad types it in...and then I edit it into a printable format and print it and then divyam puts it into his folder. It's a proper route. The kid has written more than 14 stories now and the goal is to write one each day till the number reaches a thousand...I'm hoping he and me both can finish thousand days...me on this Wattpad and him with daddy! Mom made some calls and I again came back to the guitar. We were discussing the fact that if we should change my guitar sir coz he's basically reteaching what he had taught 6 months ago and he isn't teaching anything new and it's already been a month. I think we need a change. It's Friday and so it's tradition to make snacks and watch a movie...I quickly put the frozen fries into the air fryer and we continued the movie we started yesterday night. We had ordered some food and there has been a huge misunderstanding and we're waiting on it still while we had ordered it about 1 and a half hour ago✋😭😭..... We stopped the movie till food comes....so I decided to write this while mom and divyam do some extra-curricular activities on a lot of things and idk bout dad. that's it for today and some highlights are....1) Productive me 2) FLIP 3) Reading "how to pass exams" 4) them scented candles. I now want to talk bout the fact that FLIP didn't allow me to put more than 5 things for the free version and I had to pay 60 rupees to use the paid one for a month...I know for a fact that 90 percent of the people reading this use Spotify, but the free version with ads every thirty seconds🤚😔 Now listen...I don't....we went on this road trip to Ooty a couple of months back and for downloading the songs I needed to upgrade to Spotify premium and it was only for a thousand rupees and I told my dad that for downloading songs we needed to spend 100 rupees and without a blink he said yes. The thing is that our parents don't mind spending money on us. For example... whenever I need to buy a book on a kindle I tell my mom that I'm buying it and this much is its price and she says "don't ask me for buying a book" she doesn't mind spending money on books...we never ask our parents for these kinda things....I told my mom I need the premium version of FLIP and she said "yes we'll buy it...but show me how it works" and I did and she said yes without a blink coz it's going to help my productivity. I had to buy an app a few months ago and I told my mom...can I? she said the same- "show me what's going on in it" and once I did...she said get it!  And in the same way, is the thing with my tab...dad said get it son...(btw..lockdown is extended so I won't get the tab 2 weeks from now😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭). So...just ask your parents for what you need and they'll happily give it to you. So ask!!
