Think about death everyday
In many buddhist traditions, its encouraged to think about death on a regular basis. I remember reading from a zen book: “make sure to treat each visit with your parents as your potential last time you will see them, because eventually it surely will be.” I do think about death to help me focus on… Continue reading Think about death everyday
work reflections and quieting the mind – 22/2/19
The past 2 weeks of work have been busy at work and has caused me stress and bad sleep. So I wanted to write some notes on how to improve the situation.

Work in airplane mode as often as you can
For me, I find the most productive time is when I work without any connection to the internet. It helps me focus my energy on thinking and planning, reduces my temptations to randomly check things online, not chat, and waste time. This only works if you are a knowledge or office worker. I go so… Continue reading Work in airplane mode as often as you can
