My favourite book so far
Atomic Habits is the best book I have ever read. It delves into the profound influence of our habits on shaping our lives. In this essay, I will summarize the core concepts of the book. Pay close attention – this essay could potentially change your life. Throughout my life, I've aspired to be productive. However, a significant obstacle was my excessive time spent scrolling through social media for hours on end. Every night, a sense of guilt overcame me as I realized I had wasted valuable time that I would never recover. Each night, I convinced myself that the next day would be the one where I start exercising and learning new skills. Unfortunately, the same pattern persisted. Determined to break this cycle, I turned to books on productivity, leading me to discover 'Atomic Habits.' The book outlines four rules for shaping every habit: **The 1st Law: Make It Obvious** - 1.1: Fill out the Habits Scorecard. Write down your current habits to become aware of them. - 1.2: Use implementation intentions: “I will [BEHAVIOR] at [TIME] in [LOCATION].” - 1.3: Use habit stacking: “After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].” - 1.4: Design your environment. Make the cues of good habits obvious and visible. **The 2nd Law: Make It Attractive** - 2.1: Use temptation bundling. Pair an action you want to do with an action you need to do. - 2.2: Join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior. - 2.3: Create a motivation ritual. Do something you enjoy immediately before a difficult habit. **The 3rd Law: Make It Easy** - 3.1: Reduce friction. Decrease the number of steps between you and your good habits. - 3.2: Prime the environment. Prepare your environment to make future actions easier. - 3.3: Master the decisive moment. Optimize the small choices that deliver outsized impact. - 3.4: Use the Two-Minute Rule. Downscale your habits until they can be done in two minutes or less. - 3.5: Automate your habits. Invest in technology and one-time purchases that lock in future behavior. **The 4th Law: Make It Satisfying** - By giving yourself rewards at present time. *HABIT Inversion of the 1st Law: Make It Invisible* - 1.5: Reduce exposure. Remove the cues of your bad habits from your environment. *Inversion of the 2nd Law: Make It Unattractive* - 2.4: Reframe your mindset. Highlight the benefits of avoiding your bad habits. *Inversion of the 3rd Law: Make It Difficult* - 3.6: Increase friction. Increase the number of steps between you and your bad habits. - 3.7: Use a commitment device. Restrict your future choices to the ones that benefit you. *Inversion of the 4th Law: Make It Unsatisfying* - By remembering the delayed punishments, like scrolling through social media, which may result in instant gratification but has delayed results that are detrimental to your health and life. I hope this essay helps you in your own productive journey, just as it has in mine. Let's start today together. I have recently completed reading it and am eager to implement all that has been said into my journey. Will you start with me?

All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; -Jaques, in Shakespeare's As You Like It Play. We started playing as a way to find our own feet, to learn to talk, to imitate our parents and siblings, as a way to hone our skills, to get in shape, to while away extra time, to reduce our stress.

On survival
On survival. The question of existence still haunts me in the silence of the stillness that loneliness brings with it. To be or not to be, to exist in the coexistence of dualistic forces, to dance with the uncertainty or to play it along the periphery, what I hold certain, has always questioned me, bemoaned me. Truth be told, I beheld the cry for help when its absence called in silent whispers around the blanket of dwelling and absconded its abundant presence over me. There is a painting that traces the bits of serenity in my life, the colors that adorn the hues of the almighty run deep through the veins of my soul to find the brevity of pain. I glance at the picture of Lord Krishna, reminiscing the days that passed by. Darkness sets its sterility in the brimming light of today, as the dawn of today paints itself in the colours of the dusk of yesterday.

Learn to Go Sicilian: The Strategic Power of Silence in Negotiations
In the realm of negotiations, the ability to wield silence as a powerful tool is an art often underestimated. To truly master the dynamics of negotiation, we can draw inspiration from an unexpected source, the Sicilian culture. The Sicilian approach to communication, characterized by thoughtful pauses and non-verbal cues, holds valuable lessons for becoming more effective negotiators. As I am Italian, I can assure that the majority of Sicilians tend to be quieter and master the use of limited words.
