Im a 21yo working in corporate, as much as I loved writing as a kid, I’m not big on long novels or fictional fantasies. Im trying to be more mindful of things in life to set up good habits for the future. Appreciate if you have any suggestions for a personal curriculum. Books, substacks, blogs, anything is gold. My musings lately have been DIY at home servers and yoga, maybe what studying abroad would look like. Here are my topics of interest:
Quant & Strategy Thinking (game theory, behavioral economics, market microstructure)
• Finance & Global Markets (commodities case studies, financial storytelling, corporate strategy)
• Entrepreneurship & Product Thinking (UX design, behavioral nudges, app building basics)
• Logic & Rhetoric (puzzles, paradoxes, improv comedy principles)
• History of Ideas & Humor (how wit and irony shape culture, from Wilde to stand-up)
• Linguistic Play (word origins, persuasive writing, humor theory)
• Emotional Intelligence in Action (tact, boundaries, subtle communication, situational awareness)
• Mind-Body Flow (yoga, movement styles, short circuits for energy)
• Cognitive Energy Management (screen-time balance, deep work, mental recovery)
• Mindfulness & Presence (meditation, breathwork, mindful journaling, grounding practices)
• Crochet Functional Design (practical goody items, blending creativity + utility)
• Food & Flavor Play (spice science, nutrient-dense recipes, flavor balancing)
• Writing / Musings (observational, witty, ironic reflections — like your airport musings)
• Modern Indian Social Trends (culture, gender, finance, humor intersections)
• Systems Thinking (how small actions ripple into larger patterns)
• Design of Everyday Things (why certain products, rituals, or apps work and others don’t)
