Daily review 07-20-20

How did your goals turn out today?

Be organized.

Do my best on all my commitments.

Although it didn’t feel like I was too focused on Amazon stuff, and truly, I wasn’t, for a large part of the day (I was playing Hearthstone for a good amount of time, and then was on Twitch, and was kind of just floating around downstairs without really doing anything. Afterwards, I came up, called Sile for around an hour and a half I think? Which was p much the only time I was really productive in the whole day.) Also didn’t really do anything after 4pm (apart from confirming that the Calculator lambda function worked). Despite all of that, I still got a good amount of stuff done, in terms of actual progress.

Be practically independent.

Cooked my own rotis at night. I’m kind of losing touch with respect to the shape of them though — they’re coming out not wrong, and a bit lumpy, and larger than I would like, and not expanding properly either. I’m going to have to take some time and rethink/establish how I’m cooking the rotis, and try to make them round.

Grow grow grow.

Did this massive Project Euler problem 054.py, and relearned Mypy concepts and good mypy practices. Also watching the controls lecture on things like state space representation and linearization, which is pretty cool.

Develop my social network.

Going to reach out to the Amazon guy tomorrow :)

Be a good son/brother/boyfriend/friend

Talked to Japjot! And Mulan. Kind of blew my parents off when they were talking about doing something/going out for my sister’s birthday. I don’t know why I don’t like traveling too much with them - or is it only going to the beach? I don’t know, I just have a bad memories/vibe/impression of going to the beach with them. Mentally, it just seems like the most boring thing to do. I don’t know why though.

Contribute to the world

Cleaned up my Github a bit, so that people can see my current projects on there.

Be more forward-thinking

Set a new RescueTime goal for turning distractions off for the first couple hours of each workday! I was pretty productive today though, so not sure how much I’ll need it. Also did this review!

Be more disciplined

Was not disciplined (at all) with respect to time spent on my phone and Twitch, at least for a good part of the day. Was a lot better in the second half of the day, but definitely had some stuff lacking in that department.

Be physically healthy.

Not much in terms of this.

Any other thoughts?
