The /now movement

Read on my website​

Hellooo Reader, Suraj here –

Since the August of 2024, which is almost 9 months and 3 weeks ago, I have been maintaining my /now page. It is basically a record of my life at any given time. I update it every month with the recent things that I’ve done or the things that I’m doing during that month.

But why do I do this? Why do I keep and maintain my /now page?

The benefit is very simple: It is the public declaration of my priorities. It allows me to stay clear about the things that I’m working on. It does not necessarily motivate me to do things, but it definitely inspires me to reflect on things. Often, this reflection leads to action, which then brings positive outcomes in life.

I have made my /now page public, which you can easily check by going to surajc.com/now, but you don’t have to do the same. You could keep a private record of your priorities, and go back to it every now and then to update and seek direction when you feel lost.

This is it for this week. I will see you again next week. Until then, take care my friend.

Warmly,
Suraj

I will not get into the details, but here’s what’s happening: Up until recently, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and what my life was going to look like in the years ahead. I had more than just a draft for life. But then, decisions were...

Getting started

By Suraj Chaudhary Getting started Read on my website Helloooo Reader, Suraj here – Often, I get very distracted by the short term. That includes not only allowing myself to indulge in short-term procrastination, but also putting off seemingly uncomfortable tasks of the present, that I know for certain will have outsized positive outcomes in the long term. During these chronic procrastination sessions, guilt always overtakes. That guilt is not powerful enough to get me to do the thing, but...

A man looking through binoculars trying to find something better

By Suraj Chaudhary Something better Read on my website Hellooo Reader, Suraj here – I have a disease. Well, it’s not a clinically recognized disease, but it is one that is widely prevalent. It’s called the “shiny object syndrome.” The concept itself is not what I want to focus on, so I’ll get it out of the way. Shiny Object Syndrome (SOS) is the behavioral tendency of constantly getting attracted to or distracted by new, potentially more exciting opportunities, while abandoning the current...
