Lately, I’ve been having more than a few bouts of painfully unproductive days — at least, by my own standards. You know that moment when you’ve got a ton of things to get to but can’t bring yourself to work on anything. So you sit at your table, shuffling through the tasks but not really …
Not too long ago, the marshmallow test was trending across social media. In this test, kids are given marshmallows (or candy in some cases). They are left alone and instructed not to eat them while the adult is out of the room. The catch is that if they don’t eat the marshmallows when the adult …
Lately, I have taken more interest in human interactions and their several dynamics — more specifically, the effect of our day-to-day interactions on our actions, beliefs, and overall personalities. Admit it or not, we are all constantly being influenced by our environment — oftentimes, more than we influence it ourselves. Every interaction we have with …
Today’s post is a spontaneous one and quite a short one too. I had planned to write on something else, but as the anniversary of Toluwanimi’s demise drew nearer, I decided to dedicate today’s blog post in his honour.

Today, we draw the curtains on the Digital Minimalism series:) When I first got the idea to write on this topic, I wasn’t sure if to proceed with it or not, neither did I imagine it’ll stretch this long. But the more I considered it, the more it stretched out and we ended up with …
If you are yet to check out the previous blog entry, I’ll suggest you start from there. Today’s entry is more like a sequel to that post and the second part of a 3-part series. A quick recap… We have increasingly placed more value on virtual “likes and comments” at the expense of real-life connections. …
Welcome to June!It’s an exciting month for a number of reasons… Well, for starters, we’ll be opening the month with a topic of discussion that I have taken a lot of interest in, in the past year. This interest was further fueled by Cal Newport’s “Digital Minimalism”. And that is the issue of technology and …
We all have goals and dreams that we wish to achieve in our lifetime. Some dream of making huge impacts on the world around them while others are satisfied with the idea of raising their families on some island while savouring the wonderful nature around them. No matter what your aspirations are, your current reality …
