Stop Everything And Listen To Ta-ku’s HYPETRAK Mix ‘Drive Slow, Homie’
In this Ta-ku mix, there isn’t much remixing at all, just transitions between different pieces. But that’s what I love about it. It doesn’t just sound like one continuous song. It sounds like Ta-ku made you a mixtape for your drive home from work.
Another Amazing Idea of (Not) Mine: Read 10% of a Book Everyday
Another amazing idea of (not) mine! I discovered this on the internet and tried it out briefly, and I want to share it with you all.
This Thought Catalog article by Sam Thomas Davies advised simply:
Read 10% of a book everyday.
This is a very good idea. Think about how productive you might become!

The reason why it stuck with me is because it was very descriptive. I found myself looking through my internet history trying to find it a couple of months later, for motivation to write a descriptive paper in English class.

Of course, it’s made up of a diversity of writers, but that just means that there’s a section for every sort of reader.
