If being productive is exhausting then you might be doing it wrong.
Nothing is more satisfying at the end of the day more than when you have crushed all of your to-do lists. For me, the feeling of having a productive day always made me feel good before I close my eyes to sleep.
But crossing your to-do list could be quite a challenge. I started my routine from 6 am, and planned to get all things done no later than 5 pm, and I planned to do no work at all in the evening.
It seems so efficient in the theory — To have a productive day, and still have me-time…
As small as choosing to read this article over watching Netflix.
If I heard the words ‘success’ ten years ago, I would picture it as wealth, BMWs, a great mansion, and any other cool stuff in this world.
But it turns out the way I looked at success was wrong.
It’s not about the promotion that you got, how much money that you made or even the great cars that you bought. It’s not even about results, it’s all about the efforts.
Whatever your definition of success, it’s not about that big dream, but it is the accumulation of small decisions that you made along the way.
It’s not about losing…
The first struggle when it comes to climbing the ladder, and how you can pass it.
If you have been following my recent writings, I was addressing how important it is to have goals in our lives.
Once you have written those goals on a blank paper, it’s time to convert your ideas into actions. Because without actions, ideas are worthless.
Whatever your goals are, whether having financial freedom, building relationships with your family, losing weight, being a great writer, or any other things.
The first step will always be the hardest.
The first step when you are climbing that ladder, the universe will give you the ultimate test, and begging you to give up on…
How investing in your mind is the weapon to get you out from the rat race.
The term investment has been quite popular lately, it is a good indicator that people are becoming more aware of the benefits from investing.
What makes investment easier, is that we can do that with very little money, one friend of mine had stopped buying cigarettes and put the money on stocks.
His method sounds good enough. Every day he would save about 25 thousand rupiahs, and add more balance to his stocks using an app from his mobile phone.
But it could’ve been better.
I told him to stop putting the money into stocks. He was quite surprised by…
Rather than ‘fake it until you make it’ it’s better to ‘face it and then you make it’.
When was the last time you were overwhelmed by your own thoughts? The moment where your subconscious mind kept telling you that you were unhappy about your life.
“You deserve a much better job”
“You deserve of love and belonging, and this relationship is certainly not giving you any of those things”
“Maybe you need to lose a couple of pounds”
And hundreds of other things that stalling smile on your face. It’s amazing how your subconscious mind kept telling you those things, trying to get you to bend on your knee.
If there is any magic in the world…
The short answer is yes, and here are some tips to help you get curated.
Being curated is one of the greatest things that you could achieve in Medium, it means your writing is chosen by the Medium curators and distributed to bigger audiences.
If you are just writing on Medium, I had the same confusion with Medium curation. The thing is, there are lots of articles written on this platform every day, but most of them didn’t even meet the standards to be curated.
If you are writing a great article — That meets their standards — you have exceeded most of the writers on this platform already.

What can you do to prepare yourself when the time has come?
What was your goal when the first time joining Medium? Sharing your ideas? hopefully making some money?
How about both of them?
The struggle is real, when I joined Medium Partner Program, I had to do it creatively — Bypassing the system. Unfortunately, the old ways are not working anymore, and filling EIN and a thousand other things is such a burden.
The good news is, Stripe — Which is the only way of how Medium can pay you — is planning to make an expansion to Indonesia.
The company is also expanding globally, with plans to start offering its…
