Efek Instagram

Image
Akhir-akhir ini saya tertarik dengan penelitian terhadap penggunaan social media, terutama Instagram (IG) (karena di Indonesia mayoritasnya memiliki sosmed ini). Saya pribadi sangat menikmati ketika membuka sosmed ini, tapi tidak semua hal yang dinikmati tidak mempunyai efek samping atau efek negatif. Salah satu efek yang saya alami adalah saya sangat membuang waktu saya untuk melihat profile orang lain dan melihat stories mereka, saya merasa "dihisap" oleh sosmed ini.  Dan itulah yang merupakan bahaya sosmed di zaman sekarang, kita membuka sosmed tanpa niatan dan kita membiarkan sosmed ini mengarahkan kita (dengan algoritmanya) kepada hal-hal yang pada awalnya kita tidak ingin lihat. "Bingung mau ngapain, buka IG aja ah dan liat trending topiknya atau liat stories sampe abis, atau liat feed sampe dapet tulisan 'you've already caught up' ", ketika saya menyadari hal ini, saya ketakutan (ini jujur tapi no drama).  Mungkin di atas adalah ...

5 Resources We Should Aware of

Image
Lately, I've been tired of facing my day, every day.  Because of the tiredness in my everyday life, I need to define what is the true resources we have. Starting from search it in google, scientific research, and podcast. And finally, I found it on the Minimalists podcast on episode 145. They say the main resources we have in accordance with the order are shortened to STEAM: S for Skills T for Time E for Energy A for Attention M for Money People nowadays often abbreviating it to MEATS, they always believe Money is the main resources.  Take a deep breath and think, is money the main resources in your life? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Belakangan ini, aku lelah menghadapi hariku, setiap hari. Karena kelelahan dalam kehidupan sehari-hariku, aku perlu mendefinisikan apa sumber daya sejati yang kita miliki. Mulai dari pencarian di google, penelitian ilmiah, dan b...

Patience in Modern Life

pa·tience / ˈpāSHəns/   the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. Let me start this post with my experience with these amazing 28 people. they just amazing. To be in that environment, it triggering me to discuss everything about our job detailly and also find the solution to some problem. We have a meeting like every day in a week (continuously), some of us got sick, but it never let our excitement down.  In short, we have a day (in a weekend) to scaling the overall score of what we observe. When we heard about it, we always said like "can we just do it in other time?" etc, but then two of us have a fantastic idea to eliminate this event but we gonna get the same result of it. My two amazing friend called Sabas and Muthe , they have this idea to use the Google Form not only for put the score, but also analyze it! At first, we really excited and pretty sure we gonna make this idea work, but later it won't ...

The Art of Living by Erich Fromm

Image
liv·ing -/ ˈliviNG/- "an income sufficient to live on or the means of earning it." We always have the time to practice whatever we want (though there are things we have to do at the time). In one of my spare times, I searched for some videos, writings or podcasts (I was someone who cared about anything that could improve personal productivity), a short story on one of the podcasts I listened to, the guest saying " Human doing , not a human being  ". The sentence is always ringing in my mind and I to type a sentence on the internet. And the outcome says that it is an expression for people today. Doing what it means is doing something is interpreted as a human tendency to always work regardless of cycle (in that sentence).  The Being and Doing words are there at the right time (maybe this is very attached to me), but I will add the words I want for the middle term (and this time is when part of you wants to be very free from everything that related ...

"Phone that Made Me Living Intentionally"

Image
"in·ten·tion·al·ly / inˈtenSH(ə)nəlē/ is an  adverb meaning  deliberately; on purpose." Does everything we bought or we have right now is the things we really need? Does the apps in our phone is something if we don't have it then we gonna die or suffering in our life? Let's take a step back for a while. It's all started when I got an internship at my faculty, and I have to contact clients with that phone. At first, I absolutely struggle with it because I always use a smartphone which has a lot of keyboards. But because of that phone, I feel so much productive at the other side. Why? Because when I have a task like a call or text some client, I just do that, not doing other stuff like check my Instagram or Facebook. I just get into it. And then right after I finish the first task, I feel have so many times to do what I want. For not having any distractions in that phone, I really get into things that I want to do, to living the life that I want, to a...

"This is What I Knew About Productivity"

Image
"pro·duc·tiv·i·ty -/ ˌprōˌdəkˈtivədē,ˌprädəkˈtivədē/- Is  the state or quality of producing something, especially crops." Pada salah satu  video , saya menyebutkan bahwa saya adalah seseorang yang memiliki minat pada bidang hacking productivity. Saya memiliki pemikiran bahwa produktif adalah suatu hal yang sangat "keren" dan menyenangkan, tapi menjadi seseorang yang produktif sangat sulit karena bukan hanya kemauan yang harus terlibat, tapi salah satunya ada kreativitas, pengetahuan, dan mungkin relasi.  Baru-baru ini saya membaca buku The Art of Living yang ditulis oleh Erich Fromm yang merupakan salah satu tokoh psikologi besar, mungkin alasan saya membeli buku ini adalah karena saya pada dasarnya adalah mahasiswa jurusan psikologi. Dalam buku ini ada salah satu bagian yang membuat saya sangat terfokus sekaligus senang membacanya, bagian itu berjudul "Menjadi dan Produktivitas (Being and Productivity) ". Erich Fromm mendefinisikan produkti...

"Same but Different? This is What I Knew About Efficiency and Effectivity."

Image
" ef·fi·cien·cy -/ əˈfiSHənsē/- is  the state or quality of being efficient. And  ef·fec·tive·ness - /iˈfektivnəs/- is the degree to which something is successful in producing a desired result." Pada satu hari dalam rangkaian liburan, saya memutuskan untuk pergi dengan salah satu teman kuliah saya ke toko buku. Dalam perjalanan kami, tiba-tiba saya mulai menanyakan beberapa hal yang  random , mulai dari memilih apartemen atau rumah jika nanti berkeluarga dan sampai pada satu pertanyaan, "Apa sih bedanya efisien dan efektif?". Tentu teman saya langsung memberikan segala penjelasannya, dengan itu saya mengerti beberapa perbedaannya, tapi saya masih kepo  dan memutuskan untuk menggali lebih dalam apa perbedaan antara keduanya melalui internet. Awalnya saya "menyelam" ke KBBI (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia) dan menemukan hasil seperti berikut:  Masih sulit untuk dipahami bukan? Lalu saya melanjutkan penyelaman saya dan akhirnya...
