Overthinking is Double-edged Sword, without Handle

↪ Detective's soul is within each of us. And thus, you cannot rest easy with an empty mind. I couldn't do it either. Thinking and questioning the possibilities is good till a safe limit. When you cross it, you suffer. We live in the age of over-information. Your device is full of Notifications. And the 'trending topics' never keep quiet. So, you can feel a Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). If you are young, the web won't let you rejoice the moment. In fact, I can tell you about certain 'friends' who exist for Selfies. And the hashtags. Of course, electronic devices have become our oxygen. So, nobody is innocent. One way or another, you'll need to rely on the internet, the media and the over-information. I'm no exception to this rule. Thus, I am nobody to blame you. You know. worrying about third-party judgements is pointless anyway. But our human body pays the price. Whenever you sacrifice your sleep or lifestyle, to allow the Notification to disrupt your ...

Writing Less but More Effectively

↪ In theory, high info density helps you tell more. More about your services. Your Products. And the other similar aspects. However, each move has a second side. You will encounter some key disadvantages as you write or tell more. Passion is awesome. And nothing is wrong with it. But, the life is a rat race, And many have to keep running, to ensure the paychecks arrive without the delays. "All gotta pay the bills, ya know, pal." Yes, this sentence was culturally insensitive. So, why should you write less? For starters, you can do a quick-skimming of one of my other blogs: SummaryMaster51v Dark Edition Most posts written there, carry a poetic vibe. And you can note the sheer length of each statement. As the density of ideas increase, the user takes longer to read it. Unless you are comfortable reading eBooks, you would find the text confusing. And this does not make anyone less intelligent. See, for those of us who grew up in 'hyper-academic' environment, it's a mu...

Finding Unique Brand Name is tough these days

↪ When you are starting any business, you should do a Trademark Research, Copyright Research and Online Presence Research before finalising what your Brand is going to be. And that's... easy to preach, tough to carry out. If you are a local business, or if you are working offline, it won't matter. But seriously, do you want to never appear in the web search results? Are you never going to expand your horizons? Is that a healthy favourable scenario? Think about it. Changing your brand name later is always possible, but with some extra effort from the starting point, you are avoiding the trouble of rebranding in the future. You can check the availability of your brand by simply search the web with the right question. Alternatively, you can ask a lawyer friend for some wisdom. They are more qualified, and hopefully, honest friends. Visit: SummaryMaster51v Dark Edition A dark mode blog with grey text. 30+ posts. Each country has a process through which anyon...

Towards Essentialism For This Blog

↪ On SummaryMaster51v , I had originally added a lot more gadgets using the Contempo theme. As a result, the fold (visible content before you scrolling) was filled with the Pages Tabs, and just a few lines of the Recent Post Title were visible on a smartphone. So, for this blog, I will be trying to keep the things simpler. And from onwards, that blog has a Simple Theme too. It makes multiple posts and their previews visible directly at the fold. Now, I have a site where all my important links are provided, with a clean interface, at bit.ly/site51v . We all are prone to over-detailing. At least, I have made my one blog too long. Just because there are a lot of formatting and design options, let's not overdo it. So, I will try to keep the second blog simpler. https://t.co/Psd0JgYEJx might be a great start, towards essentialism — Akshay KP (@akp51v) September 26, 2020 That's some excessive decluttering, but it feels nice. Sometimes, a few lines at the centre of the large negati...
