I Don't Know What to Write About

01/08/15

I have lots of things that I want to writ about, but I'm freaking tired. I was considering not writing anything, but I'm just going to see what writing about not knowing what to write about goes.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about systems that govern my life.

Nevermind about that, let's talk about Universal Basic Income. I am pro UBI.

Nope, not feeling it. I'm gaining an appreciation of the everyday habit. It's unfortunate that so far I'm only properly consistent with my blog. I was getting consistent with coding and Japanese studying, but after Christmas I kept forgetting about Japanese, and after returning to work, I haven't made time for more daily javascript practice.

At least I've been reading Javascript: the Good Parts daily. Which I'm getting it a lot out of.

Today, I thought about how much work I'm doing when I feel like I'm moving slowly. The times when I have to sit down and grok what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and how it fits into the system I'm working in. And the system itself needs more poking and prodding to understand.

This is what I spend a lot of my productive time on. Thinking. Figuring out things through rumination. It's something I'm still not great at, I think. I let my brain hold too much stuff at once. I think I try to understand too much in my head, mentally running code instead of figuring out how to actuall run the sub-sections I need to understand.

I'm slowly building better habits.
