Navigating Brain Drain and Tech Woes: A Personal Journey
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding the Frustrations
In the midst of my writing struggles, I found myself entangled in a web of distractions known as the #MouldMonster, #MontyMouse, and #TechnoGremlins—each of which will be elaborated on later. Feeling stuck, I turned to my morning reading on Medium, where someone—whose name I’m still trying to recall—introduced me to an impressive technological tool: Hypernotes by Zenkit.
At one point, I feared I might have to dive into Android programming to create my own app. The mere thought sent shivers down my spine! I had experimented with various similar applications, but they all fell victim to the chaos brought on by the #TechnoGremlins. None of them seemed to function smoothly across both my phone and tablet, leading to frequent exclamations of frustration like, “Oh?—?GitterBugs!?—?another one just crashed!”
Fortunately, Zenkit swooped in just in time, alleviating one item from my already overwhelming to-do list.
Section 1.1: My Writing Journey
I embarked on my writing adventure as a way to liberate my mind from the cerebral turbulence that stems from nearly five decades of societal pressures experienced in the U.K.’s so-called “progressive society.” Should I have known better than to attempt this?
In Hypernotes, I established my first notebook to help unravel my thoughts and initiated my first daily rant, commonly referred to as a Morning Page. You might have noticed my frequent use of hashtags; it’s a handy method for cataloging ideas that could evolve into larger topics worth exploring.
With Zenkit's Hypernotes, every hashtag I use generates a dedicated page, seamlessly connecting my original ideas to those topics. After my initial daily rant, I was delighted to discover a vibrant ScatterChart representing my thoughts and revealing 41 topics ripe for further exploration.

Section 1.2: The Road Ahead
How many additional topics can I generate from this article? Those that I choose to delve into will likely evolve into stories, some of which may even be published, with hopes of receiving a few reads or claps. I look forward to a time when all the knots in my brain are untangled, and perhaps, I might even be compensated for my efforts!
However, first, I need to cultivate a consistent writing habit. Some topics may fall by the wayside, creating a redundant backlog.
Chapter 2: The Tech Trials
In the video titled "What is Brain Drain?", we explore the concept of brain drain, its implications, and how it affects creativity and productivity.
The second video, "Brain Drain: Causes, Effects & Solutions," delves into the factors contributing to brain drain and offers potential solutions for overcoming these challenges.
As I navigate through this journey, I find myself exclaiming in exasperation, “Where did all my hashtags go? … GitterBUGS!!!” Perhaps a more relaxed day awaits me tomorrow.
This has been just another teepee tremor added to my day. I’m utterly exhausted and could certainly use a coffee!
