It’s not even December. Anyway, here is “My 20 cents on 2020.” A thread.
1) When you go out - take a mask, a sanitiser and a pen. Wear a mask especially when you visit your family and friends.

2) It’s nice to dream about the world before COVID19, but that is rejecting reality. Society and economy will never go back to what it was. Look for new ways to get going in whatever that you do. If it’s not working, switch paths.
3) Taking care of yourself is the first priority in this madness. You can’t help anyone without taking care of yourself- physically and mentally.
4) Activate daily for 15 minutes. Walk, dance, pushups, household chores or anything that make you sweat that needs no gym equipment. Youtube can be a friendly guide.
5) Read a book daily. At least a page. In these digitally overload days, flipping through a physical book is therapy. Read to your spouse, children and parents. Get them to read.
6) Write daily. A journal, a blog, a poem, a letter, or anything that cleanse your mind. If you are not a writer, draw your feelings. This is my friend, is the workout for your mind.
7) Meditate. If you think you are not the meditative type try this with earphones. Anyone can meditate. It’s the true version of you. https://isura.biz/2020/08/14/anyone-can-meditate/
8) Life is short, ridiculous and funny. 2020 pushed us to the edge. Make time for undisturbed conversations with people who matters to you. Put your phone away.
9) “Money cannot buy happiness” is a distorted view. Learn from people who’ve done well financially and humanely. There are lot of them out there, but often they are not active on social media. Find them and follow them offline.
10) Buying a new electronic device is most of the times cheaper than repairing it. Make sure you use your current device as long as you can. Seeing ads of new devices tend to slow your current device. We need to master our devices, if not devices will master us.
11) When you face a toxic person - avoid. Go away. Let no one take your mindfulness and peacefulness no matter who they are.
12) Social media is increasingly getting complex and messy to navigate. Yet it’s amazing and useful. When you look at it as a place to help one another, you will have plenty of fun.
13) If you are stuck with something, google it. People on internet share their learnings to the deepest of details. Youtube is where DIY gurus live.
14) Financial literacy and planning is of utmost importance for families. It’s simple, but it needs your attention and humbleness. https://isura.biz/2020/11/17/why-financial-literacy-efforts-do-not-work-well/
15) Different people have different values. They are guided by their values, so are we. If you want someone to appreciate your values, you need to appreciate their values first. You may not agree with them, yet you can appreciate them nonetheless.
16) Adults are just grown up children. If you want to understand a person find out about their childhood. Exposure in our childhood crafts our adult version.
17) Teach your kids about ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’ at very early age. World is cruel but we can prepare them for reality with care. We should not let them be taken by surprise. https://isura.biz/2017/08/27/theres-always-a-peculiar-reason
18) World is going digital. Whatever you do, digital will make it faster, better and smarter. Talk to people who are good at digital and learn form them. Learn online, it is free. https://isura.biz/2020/08/22/how-to-learn-from-the-best-in-the-world-for-free/
19) One thing I learned after I went on my own - never to take myself seriously. Funny, I could have done the same when I was employed elsewhere. Better late than never.
