The Diary Game- 08/06/2020- Day 6

Date- 08/06/2020

Thursday

At times, I feel when I am out to engage with others(not just in Steem Blockchain, but in my life in general, both offline and online), I encounter with social uncertainty. Well, in this fast-changing world and with so much noise, this is very obvious and most of the time we end up making a snap judgement about the people with whom we engage.

Most of the time I have seen we have heavily relied upon the first impression and we are very careful about it, yet the first impression could go wrong. The automatic, instinctive, and firsthand impression, etc are also a part of the social uncertainty. Therefore we must update the beliefs and perception based on the second-hand information and experiences to reduce social uncertainty.

I just kept thinking on the social uncertainty today, so writing a few lines on that before getting into the chronology of the various events of my today's diary.

So I wake up to a rainy day(at 4:35 AM) yet again for the second consecutive day, dawned cloudy, ready to precipitate at any moment right from the morning. Well, it starts pouring in heavily at around 8:00 AM.

I had two glasses of lukewarm water and then rushed to the bathroom for the morning routine, as it was not raining at 6:00 AM, the birds did come and I feed them with available biscuits, roti and grains, etc.

After 30 mins of yoga, I was back to business, that is to study at least 4 continuous hours in the morning right from 5:30 AM to 9:30 AM.

Then I took a break and started tidying up and mopping the floor. I also organized the kitchen and the study table. Then I went straight to the bathroom to take shower and then performed my daily routine morning pooja.

So I was talking about social uncertainty-- Do note that social uncertainly is not just a case of social situation, it can be a non-social situation too. For instance, you might have had dilemma in your life in the market or similar encounters where you are in dilemma whether to buy or not to buy a dress in a store or a mall, to buy a ticket to watch a movie or not; that indecisiveness is also a part of social uncertainty.

From 11:30 AM to 12:00 AM I checked the Steemitblog for updates and also ANI News to have a briefing on the national and international news.

Then back to the kitchen at 12:00 PM. Today I wanted to have rice and dal as after a long time(precisely after a month), I am going to take boiled rice and dal. I prepared "arhar dal" today.

I was very quick in preparing the two. It was tasty, but to my surprise after finishing my lunch, I fall asleep in the afternoon, when I got up I checked it was 5 PM. Huh, I slept for 4 hours in the afternoon. This is very unusual. I never used to sleep in the afternoon.

Then I keep on guessing what causes me to fall asleep quicker and so deep and that too in the afternoon. Later I figured out that after a long time I took "rice" and that resulted in such beautiful sleep for the day. I am feeling fresh today because of that.

So once I got up, I started engaging in Steem Blockchain for the rest of the day, the engagement was intensified as if I am on a spree going out to read the diary posts of various authors and leaving comments. Of course, Lucky 10's is that driving force, but slowly that is also getting into a routine part of my daily regular schedule.

I foresee, with #the1000daysofsteem this engagement is going to be more general. That is key to this platform as well, without that social intersection won't be possible and without social intersection, the social platform won't evolve.

Today I read at least 30 dairy post and left more than 20 comments. I always try to make the engagement effective and productive, but most of the time I want the author to reciprocate not just with a "thank you", but with the context of the comment. I always love that diary post with sufficient and interesting content to engage. So a dairy post must be interesting and motivating not just for the authors itself but the readers also.

I also played chess at 8:00 PM. Today I played at least 5 games. But I am sharing the one which I feel was the best game of the day. I played with Black.

Today I did not make dinner, as I am still feeling heavy and my stomach feels like overloaded. So I am skipping my dinner.

Before hitting the "Post", I do at least one round of proof-reading. That is always considered a very good habit, not just in blogging, but also in other forms of formal and official communication that you make in your workplace, that makes you more organized. So I request all the newcomers/naive users in this platform and/or dairy game to proof-read before posting their diary. Do read your post yourself before making it available for your readers.

In last 2/3 dairy posts I forgot to go with "100% power up setting". But today I have 100% powered up my reward.

That's all for the day. Signing off now, see you tomorrow.

Thank you.
