Startup routine:

• Cleared Things 3 inbox: things:///show?id=inbox

Wind-down routine:

• Read at least 15 minutes
• Physical health questions:
  • [2-3] Rate your sleep today from 1-5.
    • Haven’t checked Fitbit but I was Japjot’s place, and I don’t think I slept too well today.
  • [3.5] Rate your exercise today from 1-5.
    • I didn’t do much other exercise, but I did around 10k steps, so it was a decent substitute. Planning on going to the gym tomorrow.
  • [3] Rate your nutrition today from 1-5. Fairly decent. I had two fairly substantial meals — a burrito, and the pizza from east bay spice company. Going to mark this negatively though because I was hungry and got tempted by junk in the fridge, so I had two ice cream sandwiches at lunch today.
  • [2.5] Rate your mental wellness level today from 1-5.
    • In some aspects, I did well today — I had interesting conversations with Japjot 202205180042 which was great, had a lot of time alone to myself which was also nice.
    • However, there’s currently a lot of stuff piling up, and I can’t help but get the feeling that I’m not spending as much time as I should on doing them. I’m not really spending enough time as I should on hanging out with Mulan, and this is something that she’s also brought up. I’m doing a pretty good job of listing things out in my TODO list, but I not doing a great job of getting through them. There’s too many important things to do, and I’m sort of letting them pile up unfortunately.
      • The mulan stuff is something that I need to take direct action on. It also relates to Working Outside Of Work Hours 202205180123. Do I feel like I don’t get enough time before/during work to have alone time and think about myself, so I feel a compulsion to do it after work (and alone) when I could be spending that time with Mulan instead? I think this makes the working outside of work hours issue more important to solve than I previously thought.
• What was one cool takeaway from today? 202205102213
  • conversation with japjot about Berkeley 202205180042
    • biggest thing was the standard for excellence
  • insights from Mulan about working outside of work hours 202205180123. I need to think about what I want to do when I’m not able to do enough work during the day. What will my attitude be towards “making up” for it? How am I planning on making up for it?
    • 
    • Seems like other people either
      • don’t waste too much time during work
      • make up for it at weird hours of the day
    • I’m personally fine with doing both. If I’m making up for it at weird hours of the day, I need to make sure it doesn’t compromise my sleep time (at least not consistently) and also the time I have to hang out with Mulan.
