For the next thirty days I decided to do something really difficult. It is difficult because there is no specific thing that I am doing. I am planning to listen more. I am planning to talk less.

Travel in/around/to Israel
First thing first, travel to Israel means you may not be able to travel somewhere else. They used to have it such that you'd have to tell the border control to not stamp your passport.

Many half-started projects which were always half-worked on is an obvious … Continue reading 30 Days of Focus (January 2018)
30 Days of Flossing (December)
One thing that I have always struggled with is dental hygiene. It Soviet Union it was not a thing and so I never developed the habit. With my wife being diligent at brushing, I certainly got better, but when it comes to flossing, I just hate it and it wouldn't take.
