All right, I have 2 hours of "Thinking ablog" blocked out. Why? I think it's just a good time to have a long conversation with myself about what I want to do.

First off: sleep. Sleep is looking very promising. I'm excited.

Actually... let's start listening to some music on endless repeat before I do this. Ikenfell - Paint the Future.

Okay, that's good. So. Excited. So excited. Yes. I woke up at 7 a.m. today. Naturally. I'm maintaining an ability to rotate my sleep schedule backwards.

I've been wearing some blue-light blockers a few hours before I plan to go to sleep. I don't know exactly when I want to start wearing them, but 2 hours before seems like a good number right now. I also have f.lux on all my devices. Not sure if results are placebo or not. Doesn't matter, I'm getting the results I want. Only when things stop working does it matter.

Also, naps. I'm napping. But, like, not for hours at a time. I'm napping a normal amount. 20 or 30 minutes. It's magical. Caffeine has always been real inconsistent with me, but naps so far have done what caffeine at its best feels like.

So, goals. I'm going to have more energy and better scheduling capability if my sleep is maintainable. Yesterday... yesterday I watched a lot of YouTube. I did do some productive stuff (like taxes), but I could've done more.

(Side note. Life: noun. The state of always feeling like you could've done more.)

There's a lot of stuff I want to get good at or even be able to do:

• Machine learning
• drawing
• music (piano or violin)
• writing music
• Japanese
• working on side projects consistently
• understanding the stock market
• better financial intelligence

I have time. I don't have enough time to do everything. I need to pick. I think the smartest thing to work on first is "working on side projects consistently". Getting good at this will make my time more efficient, thus unlocking more ability to do the other things.

I was talking to a friend about treating side-projects like playing a game. "But playing a game is much easier," he said. Is it? "Yeah, the mental pathways are already laid for the game."

Mental pathways. Foundation. Yes. But one can lay down those pathways for working on side projects in general. And then it's like playing a game. So what foundation do I need to build? I need the habit of going to my side project when I'm looking for something to do. Ideally, my list of things to do in my spare time would be:

• side project
• games
• reading I know I want to do
• audio I know I want to listen to
• videos I know I want to watch
• work-work
• nothing
• browsing the internet aimlessly

I don't ever want to browse the Internet aimlessly. That I do currently is an addiction I need to eliminate.

Which brings me naturally, I think, to my site-blocking extension, Browsing Costs. I still use this extension. I think it could use a remake. I shouldn't make imaginary currency for just not going to the sites for some period of time. I should have to do stuff.

Got distracted watching the Ikenfell trailer on the Ikenfell site.

Sun Apr 08 16:15:46 UTC 2018

So, yeah, I want currency for what I do. Not what I don't do.

So let's start. Now.

Sun Apr 08 16:44:41 UTC 2018

Installing some stuff.

Ate some pineapple.
