Really feeling the urge to waste time today. Just go through all the sites I used to go to and gourge on it. I did go to a few blogs, but have reeled myself in reminding myself that it doesn't energize, motivate, or otherwise make me happy.

Woke up a lot throughout the night last night. I did a lot of exercise yesterday, I wonder how related that is. I also had trouble falling asleep. The same trouble I had the night before. So, not the decaf latte's fault I had trouble on Sunday.

I may allow decaf back into diet.

If I nap for longer than a half-hour again, and have trouble sleeping tonight again, I'll stop napping for a bit until night-time stuff becomes normal again.

Tue Apr 17 23:34:23 UTC 2018

Spent reading block looking up vegan diet balance stuff. If I'm going to be climbing and running so much, might as well get as much out of that exercise as possible by having a good diet.

I keep making my task at work more difficult than it currently needs to be. I want to find some clever solution that solves the tediousness of porting old code to the new system, but there isn't some super clever solution. Just got to do some work.

....

Tomorrow. Today's done.

Wed Apr 18 02:02:30 UTC 2018

Read some more "The First 20 Hours". This is a book I may want to buy and use for reference. We'll see.

I'm pretty physically tired after climbing this morning before coming to work. It may take some getting used to.

Mon Apr 16 17:44:54 UTC 2018

Time to focus on work.

Tue Apr 17 04:26:08 UTC 2018

I needed a lot of food today.

Tue Apr 17 04:31:47 UTC 2018

Checked out a new book from the library today: The First 20 Hours.

I was bad about listing out what I read today. I actually tackled some of my reading list in my emails. And that means some links I emailed myself.

I have rediscovered my love for Nicky Case.

I'll work on being better at the live journaling thing that I so enjoy.

Today we'll go see if there's any cherry blossoms left. We were gone during the proper time to go see them. We'll see if there's anything to see and we'll make sure next year to catch them properly.

Sun Apr 15 16:53:10 UTC 2018

I figure I could post some of my regular recipes here on my diary.

Sun Apr 15 23:03:04 UTC 2018

Not sure if I napped while laying down today. Perhaps that venti decaf 4 hours ago had too much caffeine in it. In either case, it still feels very good to lay down for a half-hour in the middle of my day.

Wow, an hour of climbing is really exhausting.

Sun Apr 15 02:44:39 UTC 2018

I think specific calorie goals don't need to be a thing whilst I build up climbing muscles. As long as the food itself is properly nutrious (which I think it is). I will still count because useful.

Actually, no. I like calorie goals, I'm just not too upset that I went way over today after a solid rock climbing morning.

Actually woke up before 0700 today! 0630. That's pretty close to the goal of 0600.

Still wasting a bit of my morning at work. I'm doing some morning reading, which is good, I guess. I'd like to devote times where I have less energy to reading. Like maybe after lunch before my nap?

Anyways, my reading this morning was finishing Mad Fientist - Valuable Lessons from My First Year of Freedom.

A link in there was to one of the Mad Fientist's podcasts about starting a business, which I'll try listening to while I work (might not be a good strat).

I should've made time for shallow work later in day. My brain was feeling great, and now it's normal. Discipline to choose what to focus my energy on is a goal.

Thu Apr 12 17:39:07 UTC 2018

Timeblock for day was flawed, forgot to add on meetings.

Thu Apr 12 18:26:13 UTC 2018

Lots of talking at work today. Switching to music, need to focus.

Listening to Chemical Reaction - Sonic 2 Remix.

Thu Apr 12 20:34:18 UTC 2018

Read The Man Who Knew Too Little.

Updated my Spark File. Not using it correctly. It's becoming a list of entertainment plans, kinda. With some non-entertainment things. Maybe better to put some of that stuff into an actions system. But I don't like my current action system (email). Because it's ordered chronologically.

Now it's time to get back to work.

Fri Apr 13 02:34:37 UTC 2018

Got distracted chatting at work and then talking with my wife when I got home. Reassessing the timeblock.

I suddenly really want sugar. But I know any amount I eat will not satiate me. It will not make me happy. I will not eat it.

I may go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of fruit.

Fri Apr 13 14:35:04 UTC 2018

I did not go buy a bunch of fruit. I should do that today, though. Gots a weekend ahead of me, afterall. Anyways, time to make tomorrow's post (today from my current perspective).

Unsweetened, caffeine-free tea is delicious, Stephan. But you already knew that.

I'm waiting on a response before I do something.

Wed Apr 11 18:06:48 UTC 2018

Reading: "The Door Problem" of Game Design

I have received response, back to work.

Wed Apr 11 20:09:43 UTC 2018

Lunch went well, back to work.

Wed Apr 11 20:19:52 UTC 2018

Wed Apr 11 22:23:11 UTC 2018

Waiting for fix to deploy.

Reading 2018 stack overflow Developer Survery Results.

Thu Apr 12 04:18:07 UTC 2018

You may notice today, Stephan, that there is no TV: YouTube in my timeblock. I will not be watching YouTube anymore. Well, not by myself. There's some stuff I walk with the wife that I will continue doing. I'll properly label that with "TV: Overwatch" or "TV: Game Grumps". I'll go to YouTube for a specific purpose and not to browse.

I also will not be getting on Twitter again. The people I followed, as much as I liked them meeting in person, are not growing to be deeper friends via my interactions with Twitter.

I don't shout out to the world, Stephan. And as much as I developed a liking to listening to those that do, places like Twitter and Facebook and, well, social media are not right fits for me.

I DM people. I group chat, maybe, but less frequently than DM.

And this place. This place is for me. I open others to stop by if they so desire, and I may focus on being better at letting others digest my thinking, but this place is for me. This place is an ongoing conversation with myself.

And that's fine. That's good.

Right now, I want to focus on me. And then as I address the things that need addressing, I can focus on what I want to do, and how inevitably that means sharing what I want to do with others.

But that's not right now.

It doesn't need to be.

Just had a thought re: calorie goal. Instead of counting up my calories, I should count them down. A number going down feels worse than a number going up, Stephan. That's just science.

Wait, is it science? Makes it less a joke if it is science.

Quick google search result yields nothing.

Didn't need to devote the whole hour to kickstart Monday.

I can start doing work-work now.

2nd meal went according to plan.

Finished early. Going back to work.

Mon Apr 09 19:20:18 UTC 2018

Oh, yeah. Dentist. Need to find one. Moving that to Wednesday.

Ping pong instead.

Mon Apr 09 20:11:46 UTC 2018

Feeling really good after some ping-pong. Let's do some work.

Mon Apr 09 20:43:27 UTC 2018

Distrated by page.

Back to work.

Mon Apr 09 21:09:05 UTC 2018

Stand-up ended early. Back to work.

Mon Apr 09 21:20:44 UTC 2018

Feeling tired. Nap time soon.

Tue Apr 10 03:51:55 UTC 2018

Mostly stuck to plan, but was getting really tired up to my scheduled nap time. Also, had a weird experience during my nap wherein when I fell asleep it was like I forgot to breathe in, thus waking up and leading me to consciously breathe in. I was never out of breath when this happened, though. Also, the nap was still quite revitalizing. Something to mention next time I see sleep doctor (noted).

Also, in general today I feel great. I think this is the beginning of building tons of momentum. Gots to build the mental pathways for the things I want to make a habit. Excited to do it, Stephan. Even rereading Getting Things Done a bit.

Tue Apr 10 03:56:10 UTC 2018

Getting me some chalmomile tea. I find myself missing coffee. Even though I'm trying to go sugar-free. I wouldn't mind black coffee. Trying to switch to the caffeine free teas to fix that.

I was pretty good about journaling as I went about my day today. I just did the majority of it in my work file.

I could still be better about it.

Tue Apr 10 04:07:05 UTC 2018

I am now keeping Twitter and YouTube on my premium sites list. They cost imaginary currency now. Currency that I can spend, but will run out of if I gourge.
