Hi, I’m Jamal and I am the founder of Sanityfly!
Sanityfly was designed to promote a healthier lifestyle and mentality and to help you discover how to become the most productive person you can be.
A lot of websites that revolve their content around health, lifestyle and well-being may tend to be overwhelming and too complicated with the content that they are posting.
Some may for example talk about how you should stop eating fast-food and change to eating vegetable instead, even though changing such a habit is not that simple.
At Sanityfly, we want to encourage the process of developing a healthy lifestyle by encouraging habits and lifestyle changes that are more exciting and engaging for you, but will also demonstrate results.
Whether you want to know about how to become a more socialised individual or learn to become the most productive person you can be, Sanityfly has plenty of content and information to come!
Personally, my outlook and my deep consideration of my mind and mentality began during the period where Corona virus impacted the world.
Before this period, I was a fairly active and sporty guy who loved activities including swimming, golf, cycling and the occasional football in the park.
I also possessed the love for activities such as art and design as well as Formula one, go-karts and race cars.
Whenever I had enough free time, I would find my personal sketchpad and draw out some of my favourite race cars in hopes that I could show off my artistic mind and create fascinating art pieces.
I would even paint some of my favourite motorsport moments to hang up on my bedroom wall on a large canvas.
All of these things kept me to be the calm and collected person that I am.
However, the lockdown here in the UK which impacted the majority of us also began to have a toll on me…
Lockdown was a long period where I began to notice a drop in my level of productivity and began to really embrace laziness.
For weeks I had cocooned myself in my own home due to the heavy quarantine laws put in place.
I had no opportunities to be active outside and go swimming, play golf or meet my friends to play football. I hit a huge roadblock.
This is where my productivity levels would drop as the weeks piled on and the mental strain on my mind began to get the better of me.
It was only until college, which I started after the quarantine period where rules had become less strict that I realised how much procrastination I had accumulated in my studies.
The laziness which I began to build up is what opened my eyes to the world of mental health and procrastination.
I began to develop my path to resolving my productivity levels and researching and experimenting with a number of ways to help myself to become the best me I can become and persevere through college.
Whether it was the type of exercise which I did, the sports activities I dived into, the ways that I tackled the mental strain of my laziness, my diet or even my social life, I want to share my takes and recommendations for helping you to reach your peak form.
Currently, I am at university studying towards a Mechanical Engineering degree.
And yes, you may perhaps be thinking, what is an engineering student doing giving advice about mental and physical health, procrastination and diet?
The truth is, that from experience, not everybody needs to be a specialist at something in order to voice their opinion and advice. At the end of the day, I believe that experience is the most important asset to a person and one that allows them to pass down valuable advice to those who could benefit from it.
Despite how busy I am with my studies, I am learning new ways to be able to adjust my lifestyle to cope with the difficulties of the workload and events in my life. I am still constantly learning different ideas and concepts that can ensure that my mental and physical health is in good condition and doing tasks and adjustments to my daily routines that can optimise my positive outlook on life, while being able to minimise procrastination.
As someone with strong ambitions like many of you who are reading this, I believe that it is important to not look at the destination but the journey that you take to your goal. That is something that Sanityfly wants to emphasise.
Sanityfly is generally considered to be a health and lifestyle website, but has an emphasis on being able to promote productivity and minimise procrastination. The sole reason for creating Sanityfly was to showcase my ideas as well as valuable information based of research which I believe holds validity in day-to-day life and of which I am confident will benefit you. Like, I’ve said before I am no ‘brainiac’ when it comes to the health and lifestyle industry however, being able to provide easy access to researched information as well as my tips and thoughts based on my experiences is what I believe will make Sanityfly a valuable place to benefit your mind, mentality and health.
And yes, while I am only in university, you may think that all of this information and products may only be beneficial to people in my age range. While I cannot guarantee that I can cater to all age ranges, I can assure you that this doesn’t mean everything you read on Sanityfly only applies to certain people. Sanityfly should be able to enhance your ideas and creativity in improving your health and lifestyle, no matter how old or young you are, even if it involves tweaking the advice to suit you. There’s is no harm in doing that!
Finally, one thing to keep in mind is that Sanityfly is not at all about me. It’s about you.
Whether it’s all the advice that I offer to you, details of my experiences on my own journey to optimising my wellbeing or the research or info which has been simplified to make it easier to access and understand at Sanityfly, we hope to offer you a potentially life-changing outlook on life and hope to make sure that you can carve your journey to becoming the person that YOU want to be!
We are on this journey together, and I hope to learn and expand my horizon along the way with you here at Sanityfly.
