BrainTeasers: More Bundled Mobile Data, Time Flashes In A Blink Of An Eye

Are you a couch potato? https://pixabay.com/photos/couch-potatoes-organic-potatoes-3120018/

You reap what you sow. You cannot blame anyone for your actions.
—— Dickson Idlier

The more bundled mobile data your telco gives you, you try finishing it all up as cannot carry forward to the next month. Sounds familiar? 😄

'Fear of losing out' syndrome, trying not to waste is generally a good idea but not for this case. What you lose out on is more if you try to finish all that bundled mobile data. Since Covid-19, there is more work from home (WFH) and telcos give out more bundled mobile data makes it worse in a way.

What happened to me (sounds familiar?) :

Glued to the phone or laptop on the couch or chair.
Waste time searching and watching for what drama, anime, manga or files to download or stream.
More stiff necks and backaches due to bad postures.
Browse more social media networks or read articles online.
Less time for other stuff, like maintaining your health and environment, physical activities and social activities.

Unless you are an idler like me, what you lose is a lot of TIME. To make better use of time, do the following:

Prioritise and Plan your activities.
Set an alarm for your activities.
Kickstart your activities.

Only you can discipline yourself.

Try keeping food expenses low but not compromising on quality. Reduce ...

IdlierStories: Muddy Water

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake.

When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”. So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink.
