Few things have been as hard, and at the same time, as beneficial for me as
writing.

Writing has helped me free my mind from the ever daunting thoughts and ideas
that come to me during the day, thus reducing the endless internal conversations
that tend to drain my mental energy. Other attempts to do so have been tried,
sticking to a morning routine of yoga, breathing exercises and meditation has
been very helpful, but the effects do fade away after a few hours as I dive
deeper into my day.

This is a new attempt to proactively document my thoughts, projects and ideas,
both as a way to leverage my learnings into more productive and practical
outcomes, but also to take away the weight of holding it all together constantly
in my mind.
