Thoughts on Indistractible Human and Hanuman Syndrome | Weekly Blink 05
One thing I have learned this week:
Hanuman Syndrome. Pity how we are forgetting in achieving our true potential as a human being. The hard fact to swallow is billions of dollars are being invested, spent to hack your habits and fill it with the convenience of products and services that are supposed to make your job easier. But is it? I see a lot of the human population is becoming much lazier than before. Missing deadlines, quick & unsustainable solutions are few of the outcomes of that.
Here’s something about Hanuman Syndrome:
One thing I have shared with my team this week:
Network Effect. Network effects are considered one of the most important dynamics in building a successful startup in the 21st century. Nothing to share more, I’ll just put up some of the articles that have helped me learn a lot of things about this particular concept.
Next week, I will be discussing Moat & Distribution
Book I’m have been reading:
The Messy Middle by Scott Belsky. One word, Gem. I have recently bought this book from a Book Fair. What attracted me the most was the candid of Scott building the most sought creative planet, Behance. It has a lot of things, a founder should learn while starting out considering the bootstrapping way to sustain their startup. I’ll be soon posting about the lessons I have learned from the book.
Quote, I have been pondering:

One interesting thing I’m trying to learn:
Indistractable Workbook by Nir Eyal. We can be indistractable by learning and adopting four key strategies: mastering internal triggers, hacking back external triggers, making time for traction, and preventing distraction with pacts. With technology taking over us, we are losing peace of mind. Let us try to be wise while using technologies and not the other way round.
One new thing I came across this week:
According to the world health organization, 844 million people across the globe lack access to clean drinking water and among them are more than 300,000 children who die every year due to water-borne diseases. 2 billion people currently live in water-scarce regions and as many as 3.5 billion could experience water scarcity by 2025. Learned about this initiative by GivePower in Kenya. We posted more about it here. The impacts they have made so far: We’ve powered over 2,650 schools across 17 countries and changed the lives of over 400,000 people.
As always, thoughts and criticisms are most welcome. Hit reply. Thanks for reading.
