I think I have finally cracked the code of ultimate time-management with decent balance.
Embracing my limits and accepting some things realistically were key factors here, used to be a perfectionist, not anymore. Plus, had several cognitive-shifts lately. This challenge sort of facilitated the whole process.
Feel free to update your check-ins under this post tomorrow)

who cares
could it be because:
It's in human nature to share something we like with others, as this allows us to:
Create connections through common interests. When we share what excites usβwhether it's a new restaurant, a favorite book, or a moving piece of musicβwe open the door to deeper relationships built on shared experiences.
Express ourselves authentically. Sharing our preferences reveals something genuine about who we are, helping others understand us better.
Experience the joy of giving. There's a special satisfaction that comes from introducing someone to something they end up loving, too.
Validate our own tastes. When others appreciate what we've shared, it affirms our judgment and perspective.
Expand our cultural web. Each recommendation creates ripples that help worthwhile things spread through our social networks, enriching our collective experience.
Find our tribes. By sharing what we love, we naturally gravitate toward communities of like-minded people who appreciate the same things.
This impulse to share is what builds cultures, creates traditions, and ultimately connects generationsβwhether through family recipes passed down, stories told around fires, or playlists shared with friends. It's a fundamental aspect of our social nature that helps us feel less alone in the world.

π Four Thousand Weeks, Oliver Burkeman
π 205/205
π
If you recall I made a post about time management and productivity, that was inspired by this book, which I applied to my own routine, at its core the message it delivers is that we only get to live 4000 weeks in our life, pretty short right? Oliver argues that instead of getting many things done we should embrace our limitations and accept the things as they are. Plus, many other concepts he delivers related with me in many levels, in a way that I knew most of them subconsciously and this author spoke my mind, which sparked my curiosity. I have read countless self-help books and can confidently say that this is one of those that stood out and delivered something quite novel to me. Highly recommended)
βοΈ 4.5/5
π The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger
π 116/116
π
This fiction stood out for me with its peculiar and wild writing style, which is colloquial and open (some swear but genuine words), narrated from the perspective of a 16-year old Holden, flunked 4 out of 5 subjects he drops out from a prestigious school Pencey, and goes back home to New York, to avoid direct confrontation from his parents he avoids going there directly, and sort of travels around the city, meeting many different people, his old teachers, classmates, a prostitute and etc. He dislikes all of the people who are materialistic, inclined towards hustle and career whom he calls phony. He just tries to find a genuine connection with someone and confronts the life of adults, the way they live. That's basically it, novel is coming out of age one.
βοΈ 4.1/5.

A shard of desolation stabs his chest.
That yearns to scream its buried truth.
Yet no words can free its voice.
It then slinks back and sighs.
Life drags on as he broods.
Bearing a silence no one hears.
Yet he digs deeper, lost in rumination.
To rise again and claim his silenced voice.
He knows he'll fail, yet his willβ
His will turns failures into strength.
Until that desolation fades away.

Bot is functioning gracefully, I have one request from all of you:
- Go to @ReadNETbot and download as many best-seller, famous and niche books as possible, so that next time when there's a malfunction or something we'll be having more files locally accessible.
Feel free to suggest new features here and your feedback.

Nietzsche (I'm reading it currently, I'm simply in awe)
There was a line in "The Catcher in the Rye" by Holden, he said that, when he really enjoys the book, he wishes that he'd call up the author afterward and talk to them.
And this is the case here with me too now, I wish! I wish I could just call and strike up a conversation with Nietzsche, or at least exchange a few thoughts, I'd have 100 questions rolling up (but that's not possible unfortunately) Words cannot express how much I'm enjoying this book tbh.

π Thus Spake Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche
π 532/532 β

Buckle up, this is going to be long. One of the influential books that I've read. Nietzsche choose Zarathustra (the first ever person to introduce the concept of moral dualisim (good and evil) to our world) to narrate because he wanted to reframe this view, he clearly and in a poetic way argues that there's no good and bad and his version of Zarathustra is there to correct it. He emphasizes the concept of Ubermensch (Above/Over man), I understood it in terms of consciousness and higher level of understanding the world, one striking thing he mentions here is that humans should search for meaning and create it on their own, they shouldn't follow something else, in a reaction to crisis in Western Civilization (fall of belief in religion). It starts with a 30 year old Zarathustra who lives in a cave mountain and finally goes out to teach humanity, I must be honest there were a lot of parts that I didn't quite comprehend, but I came to understand most of it, I should definitely read it in original German. Another major concept he introduces Three Metamorphosis - Camel (bearing all the burdens) - Lion (destroying old values) - A Child (creating new values) this is the core message here imk.βοΈ 4.6/5

Earth was born 4.5 billion years ago and has roughly one billion years of habitability left (at which point the expanding sun's increasing luminosity will evaporate our oceans). We evolved more than 80% of the way through the window, just in the nick of time, and if you fit the entire timeline of Earth into a 24-hour clock, humans have only been around for about 6 seconds. Nick of time indeed.
