Preachy introspection

The ability to forego procrastination and welcome oneself to the realms of all things mature and impressive, namely:  productivity, has to be one's most significant virtue.
Today I must reflect upon my lack of loyalty towards the being that I hold very dear to myself. Me. Loyalty instigates that one stands by another under all circumstances. One does not try to impair another by any action ( or in my case, the lack there of). To be loyal to another, one cares enough as to not hurt the one he is loyal to. Much Ado about Loyalty, I have been betraying myself since I could think.

In the quest for everything nice, I constantly lie to myself about the necessity of time. Whether it's the 'five more minutes' in the morning or the 'but this is an educational video' while procrastinating and binge watching YouTube videos, I find that I am unable to be cautious about where and how I spend my time. The lack of formality while dealing with someone as complex and stern as Time, I think comes from the goody-goody fixation of 'live life to the fullest' campaign run by endless movies, songs and of course, dumb WhatsApp forwards. Or maybe by my lack of concern over my  own well being--who knows?

Unfortunately,while busying  oneself with the constant chatter about trivial things can be passed of as socialising--for humans are such social animals--one must always keep track of how and when this information will actually be useful. This,I have found, is a good method (and a very primitive one) to keep things in check, because if you cannot live it, might as well survive.

As for now, I must get to work.
Good bye.

Note Taking, Writing Better, and Building a Knowledge Base And a review of the book "How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers" by Sönke Ahrens. Context Last year, I read a book called "How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning, and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers" by Sönke Ahrens to improve my writing and notetaking skills. This blog post is meant for anyone who has never heard the word "Zettlekasten" or "Commonplace Notebook", and wants to get better at extracting and maintaining the information they consume.  We need four tools: · Something to write with and something to write on (pen and paper will do) · A reference management system (the best programs are free) · The slip-box (the best program is free) · An editor (whatever works best for you: very good ones are free) — Sönke Ahrens ...

How to: Quantum

As a continuation of the last post ( Newer Horizons Indeed ), this post will serve as a list of resources that are useful to study the basics of Quantum Computing, a few events that I personally enjoy tuning in to, and a general update about the Qiskit Summer School and the Qiskit Advocate Program. Resources for Learning These articles are a cornucopia of wonderful resources (such as  John Preskill's lecture notes ) on how to get started with Quantum Computing, developing a better understanding of Quantum Mechanics, as well as some resources for pre-undergrad (so mainly highschool-level) material for students to follow. Learning Quantum Computing Entry Points for Learning Quantum Computing The following resources are ones that I have used (before I'd come across the aforementioned articles, thanks to my mentor): Quantum Computing for the Very Curious  by Andy Matuschak and Michael Nielsen It's perhaps the most unconventional "textbook" I've ever used. It aims ...

Poor Richard's Journal

Fill me with your words and dreams Tell me the secrets you want to scream Write in me about what you'd like to  know Draw me those places you'd want to go Let's traverse your mind, you and I Pen those scary thoughts; as I bleed and you cry Turn the page and forget them still Those memories you've buried under the mill Of your head where such thoughts are ground Into mere ink on paper browned Come later and see the story unfold A great story indeed, this story untold
