Updates on the 60-day no IG experiment

-

Second time around doing the 60-day experiment and I'd like to provide some updates. 

(Click here to read about the first 30-day experiment.) 

6 days into the 60-day experiment, I've found that:

I'm watching more podcast episodes. 

I'm reading more pages of books I've loaned in Libby

and I find that I have almost no time to do anything else except writing.

So. How. Did. I. Used. To. Spend. So. Much. Time. On. Instagram?

I don't know. 

I have a theory: Instagram will take how much of your time you give it.

Especially if you don't have better alternatives. 

When I'm on this side of the world (not using it), 

I feel so absolutely freeing with loads to do and so much more to accomplish in the world.

I remember when I'm on that side, 

every single time I'm bored, Instagram. 

When I'm feeling awkward in the lift, 

or waiting in a meeting room, 

I'd probably tap on Instagram. 

But now, my favourite apps are Libby and Youtube to watch various podcast episodes to multifold my learning.

Still deciding if you'd like to join me on the experiment?

How about do 30-days instead and watch how you feel...

let me know (:

Was feeling a little poor after paying off two big ticket items. Went grocery shopping with my boyfriend and this is what we saw. Ahead of us in the queue was an old man. He held a white plastic bag with 2 packets of biscuits inside. He flicked the receipt as he waited in line. He was going to exchange the items. In the basket that he's now placed at the conveyor belt at the cashier was 3 loaves of bread. The cashier scanned the 3 loaves of bread. Isn't it 3 for $3.30? I saw the sign there 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: No, that's not the sign for that one, the 3 for $3.30 is the small ones. Is it? But the sign there put 3 for $3.30. Next time you need to place one staff there to tell people which one is 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: So you still want the bread? No, not 3 for $3.30 then never mind, he sighed as he pulled his trolley that was overflown with plastic bags of items which made his home and walked away. ): Our grocery items amounted to $36.65. I used a $10 Fairprice vou

You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. - Steve Jobs' 2005 Stamford Commencement Address --- I'm enjoying where I am and what I do. I hope you find what you love in 2024. Don't settle. Happy 2024!

gratitude for today

/personal Feeling like you made it but you didn't. Still got to give it to myself for making the move. Making the move to quit on a job I was no longer growing in. Making a move to bring my parents for a trip. I'm sitting here in the living room of the home for tonight, an Airbnb we booked.  Bro and parents asleep in the room. I'm filled with immense gratitude we made it. We did it fam. We did.  To the 10 year old Brienne,  look! Zhe Zhe brought us overseas!  And bonus, with parents and bro! To the Bree a year ago, I'm proud of you.  You awesome little piece of shit, I'm so freaking proud of you. The world out there is your oyster Work hard, manifest abundance Go get it!
