My Quarantine Bonuses

Hello, Dia mi!

I trust that you've been doing fine. July is turning out to be a dramatic month and it's forcing us to keep up with it😌.

As we are slowly coming out of quarantine, it has become necessary to reflect on the time we spent at home. I went through phases of hyper-productivity, inactivity and social media distancing but they were not without vital lessons. Here are some life hacks I learnt that could help you too.

Your God and your family are priceless:
This cannot be overemphasized! When everything is so hard and you feel like giving up, you know you can turn to God and your family. God is always ready to take care of all your worries and give you the inner peace you desire. Moreover, you know you can always run to your family when all your options run out. Cherish every day like it's your last day on earth. Remember that God is your faithful companion in every situation.

Show yourself some love:
Yes, you heard that right. It's important to be selfless and consider others but it's also okay to put yourself first in some situations. You need to recharge yourself every once in a while. Take that nap. Drop that laptop and talk to someone. Your health is your wealth, Dia mi.


Show your friends that you care:
Swallow your pride and call that "distant" friend. These are hard times and we have no idea what other people are going through. It means a lot when you reach out to someone. It's a huge ray of light in a dark room. So take that bold step and love up on your friends.

Take baby steps towards growth:
I learned that I needed to grow, even if it was the hardest thing. In this digital age, it would be suicidal to not improve on yourself every day. My advice to you is to keep improving and never stand still. Crawl if you can't walk. Just keep trying till you crush that goal.

These were the blessings bestowed on me by quarantine. I would love to know how they have impacted you. Did you get any quarantine bonuses like me? Let me know in the comments section.

Before I go, I'll leave you with a quote from one of my favourite people. You may be disappointed if you fail but you'll be doomed if you never try(Beverly Sills).

With love,
Peperempe.

How have you been faring these days? I hope you aren't letting life get you down. I understand life can be quite frustrating, so I decided to have a conversation with you today! I remember poking you in the ribs about all the reasons you fail. However, I'm not going to apologise but I'm going to repeat it with all boldness. You probably contributed to that failed project or lost opportunity. But it's beautiful to know you can always try again, Dia Mi. So, I decided to give you some realistic tips on how to overcome failure. They're simple, straightforward and help you to see the way forward. I'm diving in right away. 1.Face Failure: You failed again, and so what? Who says you can't try again? You definitely can; you only need to be upfront about why you failed. Search deep...

Are You A Failure?

Hello, Dia mi😊! It has been a long week over here and I'm genuinely excited to be having this conversation with you today. Did your week go well? Dia mi, when last did you fail? Do you think you're a failure? Before you answer these questions, I want you to take a deep breath and think about all those past mistakes carefully. I'm not even kidding. How can you appreciate success if you never fail? How can you be relevant if you never fail? If you think this is some motivational speech, you're wrong.  I have thought about it over and over again. Why did I fail at this project? Why did I have bad grades in this course? Why did I give up halfway on that dream? Does this mean I'm a failure? If this sounds like you, those failures didn't happen by chance. It was a result of the actions you took or failed to take as you were aiming for that goal. It could have been any of these: 1. Your Self-discipline: Let's be honest, self discipline is a problem most of us face...

The Perfect Trick You Need

Hello, Dia mi! It has been such an awfully long time since our last conversation. August was a crazy month for me but I'm really sorry I left for a while. Will you accept my apologies🤗? As always, I didn't come empty-handed. I came with some goodness I'm sure you will love. You won't believe how excited I am to tell you what I just discovered. I feel that you'll also be excited to try this out once I reveal it. Credit: Tetiana Shyshkina I recently discovered a productivity trick that allows you to take spurts of energy while working and still achieve maximum results. It gives the chance to text a friend, take a shower and relax without disrupting your productivity. Can a trick be this amazing? Well, the Pomodoro technique has all the sauce, as we say🤭. The Pomodoro technique is a productivity and time management trick developed by Francesco Crillion in the late 1980s. He created this technique in his university days when he used to study in his kitchen with a toma...
