I was just thinking about why I’ve been having a relatively unproductive day at work (202005142042), and I realized that part of it could be that I haven’t journaled/reflected in a long time. Going to journal first, and then go back to filling out my thoughts of the original note.
I think I’m getting into a bad habit of letting my mind wander with random stuff that I might think is productive, but isn’t really. Also holy shit, just changed my theme and I like the new one so much! It’s very gruvbox-y. Might go back to the original one though, for some reason the iA Writer color combination is so much more readable. And I’m back to the old one already.
Read about deepfakes, and while I didn’t explore the implications totally, it’s pretty scary, and disturbing, both externally and internally. Don’t think I will explore those deeply ever again.
Got introduced to a cool new project at work, and instead of being very dedicated towards it, I wasn’t sure exactly how I would do what I wanted to do, and so I got distracted. I have to learn how to get that focus back, and maybe ask Josh or someone how to get focused again.
Played Hearthstone a lot over the last couple days. Deleted it from all my devices, and didn’t play it today. However, now I’m experiencing something similar with Twilight Struggle, where I played it in place of Hearthstone for a bit. That’s why I think the distraction seeking behavior is the bigger issue.
Went for a talk with Nakul, which was really fun and we had a great conversation. Also hit my highest step count I’ve ever hit, which was a pretty cool side effect.
