Three main Cloud themes and article series

Goal of the day: 1605 words. Written: 514.

The Cloud consists of its three main themes… And the Cloud readers. At this moment, you are one of the latter (or almost one of them).

But for now, let's better pay attention to the articles.

While I try to fit each article into only one of three themes (Simplicity, Challenges, Psychology), some articles cross these boundaries. They mix several topics in one or, more often, extend over several months.

So, for your convenience, let me compile a series of Cloud articles. And you can see all the latest texts in the archives or learn about them by subscribing.

A year of crazy challenges.

Starting in December 2013, this year of my self-challenges had twelve challenges. And I had planned an article for each. Unfortunately, not all challenges managed to write articles.

1. A year of crazy challenges
2. A crazy month without a video
3. 6 Unique Time Management Techniques
4. What I experienced in 28 days of writing
5. A crazy month without internet
6. A crazy month without shopping
7. Crazy month with travel
8. A crazy month with 100 acquaintances
9. Crazy month with novella writing

Experiments.

Born in the year 2015, the experiments continue what I did with the challenges. It's true - these experiments include my own tests years ago. So far I have described only a few experiments, and some I will probably never describe, because there is nothing to tell.

1. Without sleep (in 2011, three days)
2. No masturbation (2011, two months)
3. With as many dates as possible (summer 2012)
4. With bed linen folding (in 2013, week)
5. With less than 100 items (March 2013 and later)
6. With an early rise (from April to August 2013)
7. No clock in the room (summer 2013 and later)
8. With summary of notes (from spring 2014)
9. With a writing kanban system (from 2014 to now)
10. With jogging (a few days in November 2014)
11. With standing table (Winter 2015)
12. With Summer Festivals (Summer 2015)
13. With an early rise (July)
14. With the writing of a second, better short story (November)

Interview by Antanas Poršelis.

Pig Antanas (his last name starts with the letter S.) is a Cloud animal. And he's a human… Err… Character who interviews people who have taken on life's challenges for themselves. What he likes most is interviewing unremarkable people.

If you also want to tell about your challenge (yes, you can), then write to him at kontakt(eta)debesyla.lt.

1. How I ran for the 100th day in a row
2. Tadas Rakauskas: how I changed my life during 7 months of meditation
3. Antanas Bernatonis: how I made acquaintances right on the street for 12 weeks in a row

How to learn to communicate?

So, seriously, how do you learn to communicate if you've been a hopeless introvert all your life? This book-worthy series of articles will tell you everything from start to finish.

1. How to learn to communicate with people (first part)
2. Second part

A primer on creation.

This is an older series of articles from the time when I was still talking about creativity in Debesyla. Now I'm talking more about creativity on your personal blog.

1. You are (too) creative. That's a fact
2. Why one is better than three in creativity
3. The biggest mistake you can make
4. What to do if you don't know what to do
5. 3 biggest obstacles to creativity
6. What are the most creative people of all time hiding?
7. Why your ideas die
8. Zalia Kūdra: about inspiring creativity and passion for work

Productivity.

And finally, perhaps the oldest topic that could be condensed into a series is personal (or work) effectiveness. Now it seems to me personally that these topics are not worth paying attention to, because living simpler no need to look for productivity anymore.

1. Work less - do more
2. How not to be lazy (and finally rest)
3. If you want to achieve more, don't be productive
4. How to deal with endless to-do lists
5. 6 Unique Time Management Techniques
6. Why laziness is better than work
7. 97 Crazy Productivity Hacks
