    Curiosity Saved the Cat

    Curiosity isn’t dangerous. Quite the opposite, actually. It’s so important. It’s crucial for focus and essential for learning.  Today, however, it can be seen as dangerous. Creators branch out and try something new, and the algorithm punishes them for it. We act outside the norm, and we’re seen as odd. Kids are playing less and less, and they’re not discovering as much about the world. … Continue reading

    So Much to Do

    So Much to Do

    One of the goals I set for myself when I did my digital detox from Instagram and TikTok was to finish my work before 11 PM. That didn’t happen once. I think one night I was up past 2 AM reading, trying to retain as much information as possible for my quiz the next day.  I needed to do… Continue reading

    Better than the Spreadsheet?

    Why would I need a project management tool?  Frankly, I had never even thought about having one for myself. I’m only one person; I don’t have a team of people doing my coursework. So why would I need a project management tool? Besides, I’ve been making do with my Google sheet. I have used that system since my first semester of college.  I did not even know you could use… Continue reading

    The Business of Happiness

    It’s easy to blame yourself, but it’s not all your fault.  It’s been a week after my digital detox, and I’m honestly scared to check my screentime. I know I’ve fallen back into the same cycle, endlessly scrolling on Instagram. Trust me, I have the hour time limit on it like I said I would, but for some reason it’s not stopping me at… Continue reading

    Take A Break From the Scroll

    Oh, I’ll just scroll on Instagram a little. A couple of minutes can’t hurt.  A couple of minutes adds up fast. Before you know it, you’ve spent days wasted away scrolling on your phone. Typically, I don’t even want to think about how much time I am losing when I’m sucked into my phone. Then… Continue reading

    Reclaiming Reading

    Back when reading was fun I used to love reading. I loved the feeling of getting lost in a different world where anything was possible. I owned every single Rainbow Magic book that was out in 2012. I was obsessed with stories. They inspired me to play fairies and superheroes with my friends on the… Continue reading

    Life: Interrupted

    The Procrastinator Twenty-four hours in a day hardly feels like enough. I wake up in the morning ready for the day, full of ambition and full of goals. Some days are pretty good. I feel productive. I check most tasks off my mental to-do list. Other days? Not so much. I hardly get anything done… Continue reading
