Only got ~6hrs of sleep, so try taking 120mg of lycopene...emailed back the WorkTime rep b/c their software isn't tracking any activity, it's crazy for it to be so broken in such a basic way...ask on Upwork forums if identity verification ever needs to happen again...created a Jira board for managing studying system design...started a pastebin system for rehearsing basic system design patterns daily b/c that's been working well for studying DSAs...feeling anxiety today, presumably from all the caffeine yesterday, so I'm going to take some Caffeine+ capsules to see if the extra vitamins in it makes the anxiety go away...run the Algolia HN API request that I found in the hnjobs repo in Postman as a first step towards grabbing those jobs myself...spent 30 minutes feeling anxious about what the next step should be, thinking I should set up the backend pulling jobs, before changing my mind and deciding I want to be able to use a frontend UI to connect my email address and then press a button to have the backend send an Gmail email for me...

finished a day of coding on a new product and some #djangocon paperwork

walked 5km 🏃 - time: 41,50 min - average speed: 7,25 km/h - remarks: walking was 1 minute slower mainly because head was heavier with thoughts than yesterday, wasted literally hours because I did let myself distract by a request of a potential client for consulting although I only offer consulting as part of freewritecamp (and that works pro bono). Also learned that „rsync“ doesn’t ask for permission to overwrite existing folders, it simply overwrites. That makes the transition from one web server to the other no longer a finished task - I could have checked before but instead I assumed it would be working like a user-friendly GUI works *ätsch* it doesn’t. Lessons learned: Know what destination you’re aiming at. If consulting work is not your focus right now then don’t let it become a thing. Also, double-check how a terminal command that you don’t know works and test it in the sandbox before you apply it in the real world. Apart from that my knees are ok. I feel the daily 5km walk is doing good them, though I observed that my legs adjusted to that little workout and the muscles start to reduce already - will want to add more workout time in the day (having a plan, only need to execute it and make it habit I stick to) #health

Woke up late, then resumed organizing and filtering my personal things — that brings me peace of mind #chores

ended 24hr challenge on #ing without a V1 of the site. Learning continues, and now with some insights into the time it takes to get stuff done, and where I am likely to get bogged down.

slept super long (10 hours) but body needed it so I gave it to home, did my usual walk of 1.8km, did priming (my meditation), brain-dumped my most recent thoughts and can start the day with a fairly clear mind. #health

Weekend off mom duty (first time in 3 months!) to catch up and maybe even get ahead. Made a list to get the most out of it. #life

🔨 intended to spend 2 hours on day job + clients and then the rest on side projects. 7 hours of day job later I called it an afternoon #mylife

Yet another morning while optimizing my personal archive — after many days it feels much better now #chores

daily job (got a bit tired today, working on making proper working schedule to have more time for side projects)

Read a bit and reflected on vacation. Wrote some of it down. Established idea harvesting system for myself again. Enabled positive outlook in my head :)

Did some computer work today, feels good man

still feeling tired but mentally fresh (ikr, weird combo), so doing some tiny tasks today #leifinlavida

Got some things done today :) #freelance

wrapped up day job slightly later than I had originally planned. #revsys

besides watching some technical YouTube videos.. today I rested #bestow

mostly a family and research day. I logged a bunch of OpenCV resources (articles and YouTube) and thinking about what to build next with it #mylife
