Lately I’ve been watching a lot of content and trying to remember things by writing them down, but I’ve realised that a lot of what I read or watch in the morning is forgotten by the next day.
Do you guys have any system for actually retaining information? Notes, repetition, apps, summaries, revisiting content, anything? Curious how others deal with information overload.

A wall covered with mirrors in Mysuru is going viral for an unusual reason.
After repeated cases of public urination near the city’s suburban bus stand, authorities installed mirrors and LED lights on the wall, hoping people would think twice before stopping there.
Officials said earlier signboards and warnings didn’t work.
The idea sparked mixed reactions online. Some called it a smart psychological hack, while others argued the bigger issue is the lack of clean and accessible public toilets.
The Mysuru City Corporation can impose on-the-spot fines for public urination, littering, and spitting.
Do you think solutions like this actually work, or do cities simply need better public sanitation infrastructure?
Until a few years ago. I was easily triggered by difficult co-workers/relatives.
I was peaceful by myself. But! amidst real world chaos I would get all stirred up.
This pushed me towards self-help & meditation and I had this insanely simple realization: When I stop labeling a chore as "draining" or a person as "unbearable" and simply do what is needed in the moment, the mental friction disappears.
If someone is difficult, i try the Love-Compassion-Distance filter I picked up from S J Vasudev: Try kindness first; if that fails, recognize their behavior comes from their own pain (compassion); if that fails, simply create distance.
I was able to see that my irritation arose because of my own unwillingness to be flexible.
Over time, I realized that resisting the situation is what actually drains my battery. If I stop fighting the moment, I have much more energy to actually handle it.
Hi guys, quick tip before buying anything from a marketplace.
Always check the actual price of the product online before purchasing. Just search it on Google or any e-commerce site.
Last week, I ended up paying almost the full price for a second-hand product. It was not a huge loss, but it made me realize how important it is to cross-check.
Many sellers list used items close to original price, especially if the buyer does not verify.
If you know the real price, you can:
It only takes a minute to check, but it can save your hard-earned money.
Small habit. Smarter spending.
Hi guys, another simple habit that can save you from malware.
Before opening any suspicious file or clicking a link, check it on VirusTotal.
VirusTotal scans files and URLs using multiple security engines. If something is malicious, there is a good chance it will be flagged before you interact with it.
This is useful when you get:
Just paste the link or upload the file. It only takes a few seconds.
Sometimes things look normal but contain hidden malware or phishing pages. VirusTotal gives you an early warning so you can avoid trouble.
I personally check anything I am unsure about. Better safe than reinstalling your whole OS.
Small step. Big protection. 🛡️💻
Hi guys, small life hack that helped me.
Always keep multiple email addresses. I personally use three and divide them by priority.
One email for important things like job applications, interviews, banking, and serious communication.
Second email for regular accounts like social media, shopping, subscriptions.
Third email as a throwaway for random websites, downloads, or anything suspicious.
You can use different providers like Google, Yahoo, Outlook, or any other service to separate them.
Many websites share or leak emails. Sometimes they sell data to third parties. Sometimes they get hacked. When that happens, your inbox gets flooded with spam and junk.
If everything goes to one email, you might miss something important. This has happened to me before. An important email gets buried under promotions and spam.
Separating emails keeps your main inbox clean and easier to track. You immediately notice important messages.
Simple habit. Big difference. 📩✨
