Humming on the bed and enjoying various snacks are powerful skills in the digital age.
The digital age provides opportunities for anyone to improve their skills. As a single person, I choose to add more laying skills to this Ramadan.
Starting from lying down, many ideas emerged and flowed. The results, work after work, I can produce in a day.
Within a day I don't just write for Kompasiana, but I also have to manage my personal blog, write books and on several other online media platforms. All works are born from an elegant lay.
If the views of people out there say lying down is a type of ultimate laziness. For me it is better if I lie down and produce something. Instead of theorizing a lot but not being able to come up with anything.
If I had power in this country, I would like to invite people to join in laying down. Laying down is not the kind of adjective that connotes lazy. But one of the techniques for capturing ideas.
Everyone in his way to be able to produce works. Some have to be serious in their work without being disturbed by other people. Some are alone. And I am in between.
Whether you work in the middle of a crowd, it doesn't matter. Even working on my own is not a problem for me. Because I'm used to lying down.
If you have ever read a book by Agatha Christie, a prolific criminal writer, there we will find pearls and perspectives in producing a very simple work, namely, she writes and captures ideas through her daily activities. Such as bathing, washing clothes, eating in restaurants and taking walks in the park.
The skill laying down was able to take me to a very enjoyable literacy destination. Fun things trigger or stimulate my brain to think in terms of arranging words, sentences and producing paragraph by paragraph to become a work.
A work that is born from lying down brings its own pleasure and satisfaction. Instead of being under pressure and grappling with the illusion of theory, I'd rather lie down. While observing my thoughts.
Observing the way of thinking is part of the intellectual breakdown of the digital age. Living in the digital age provides free space for expression for everyone. From free expression comes the courage to look to the future.
Former president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln once said that the way to predict the future is to create it.
I also always create the future from behind a lying world. If you wish, you can also try a minimalist technique that is laying down to produce a work.
Congratulations on preparing your mind to break the fast, my Muslim brothers and sisters everywhere.
