An attempt to write down my daily routine and some thoughts #2

After some time wondering about this diary I came with that just write down my routine was not a good idea, specially to reach my goals and try to track them. So my second attempt to it is write the things I did in the present day that supported/blocked me to better achieve that established goals on first post.

So, to track the bad habits I wrote here it follows:

• YouTube - some coworkers sent me video songs and I could not resist but comparing to the previous stated I was the time spent on there was really downsized. Practically I listened to two musics and left the website and felt really good but in the other hand I felt that was missing to listen to music but nothing big;
• Chans - I've almost surfed through but controlled myself and didn't entered into website;
• LinkedIn - Just checked some automatic e-mails sent by the platform but not interest going into there. But I noticed that I surfed two career websites, maybe it's an effect;
• WhatsApp - I did manage to get away of it the entire day but at night I've got myself going there to check for messages even knowing that nothing had changed;
• Pornography - No willing to go there but I felt horny one time during the day but nothing special.

About the good things I want to improve:

• Programming studies - I've read some core concepts about android which was good but I want to get my hands dirty, it's the better way to learn something for me;
• Fit - Skipped it for today. I think it's due a lack of effort on a better routine. I tracked my time doing the stretches and make some physical activity and it resulted in about 40~50 minutes;
• Investment - Did nothing about it. I just need to put some time on this on the week, when I make this happen I'll come back with news.

Some thoughts

It's really difficult to me to write down somethings because I spend too much time figuring out what to writ down, I just need to write and that's it.

Another thing is that I constantly get myself thinking about work in another company, getting my diploma and getting the certification badge but I need to invest more on this, it's like I want something but not want to work out on this.

Other thing I'm thinking of is to publish this blog on some chan I use to follow because I get the idea there and I think it'll be good to get some comments and maybe discuss something, I'll figure this out later.

An attempt to write down my daily routine and some thoughts #1

Today the plan went a bit different from what I expected. Somethings I planed went into different directions but they didn't diverged much.

Routine

I woke up at 6AM, proceeded to get up and get my Kindle to read a bit but it didn't happen. I ended getting on bed again with the kindle on my hands and getting back to sleep again. Then I just really woke up at 9AM which is the time I use to work.

Thought - I'll try to not get back to bed because doing this really makes me doze. If it isn't raining I'll put my clothes on and proceed to jog.

At 9AM I prepared my fruits for breakfast, melon, papaya and pineapple, then proceeded to sit on my desk and start working; During the working time I avoided WhatsApp and LinkedIn, turned off smartphone notifications and disabled WhatsApp from the software I use it on computer (Franz). I'm just using Telegram to message my girlfriend and keep calls active in case someone try to reach me.

Thought - This really helped with my focus on work. Maybe have breakfast at the table is a better idea since I'm just eating.

At 12:20AM I had lunch, ate two spoons of rice, two ladles of beans and some sausage and fried chicken as meats. Around 12:40AM I went to bed to take a nap because it really helps me keep focused on work after lunch.

At 4PM I prepared a glass of milk, two scopes of oat meal and a coffee spoon.

At 6PM I finished my working hours and proceeded to take a break time doing nothing. Afterwards I managed to do some stretches and some push-ups.

Thought - I need to prepare a better schedule + work out routine and post here for further usage.

At 7:30PM I had dinner, couscous with an fried egg.

After dinner I got back to my desk to get back to work on final course thesis. I managed to read some of the base work and re-understand the data used and wrote down some points to discuss with the professor.

Thought - I need to work hard on this. I have to prepare a better schedule, do the meeting with the professor and deliver more.

9PM I'm writing down this and the first post, will eat an apple and planning to lay down at 10PM.

Those was for today. As I'm getting used to write down I'll get better doing this and improve my routine.

First post. Some statements.

Since yesterday (13/04/2021) I realized that I need to change some aspects of my routine and life. Based on this I'm trying on some new ways to improve myself.

The first thing I want to change is reduce the daily app/site usage, some of them are really consuming my time, mind and keeping me unfocused. So, the apps I'm trying to get rid of are:

• YouTube - Everyday I'm losing a lot of time watching videos and I got myself just clicking around and watching like I was brainwashed to do that;
• Chans - The Chan community is interesting because a lot of guys post their thoughts of everything, some of them I strongly disagree but for this I will try the best to only take a look few times a week;
• LinkedIn - I'm really addicted to look at opportunities even working in a great company. The plan is to reduce the navigation to once a week;
• WhatsApp - Regarding everybody uses this to communicate nowadays I just can't stop using it. I need to get in touch with parents and friends. My plan is to use it once a day by the end of the day if possible;
• Pornography - The most important! As part of my improvement I need to get rid of this addiction.

Those are the main ones I want to avoid to find a better way of living maybe on further posts I add some more.

Now the good things I want to practice. Some of them I'm actually doing but I need more will power on them. They need to be more detailed, better prepared and executed with plain wisdom on what I'm doing. The specifics about the goals described bellow will be added later.

• Programming studies - I'm an Android developer, I want to be an AAD (Associate Android Developer) and beyond this I want to be better payed, better life quality and this will bring them to me;
• Fit - I like to do physical activities like running, swimming and working out on gyms. Besides this having a good meal routing will help this achieve this goal;
• Investment - I need my money working for me too. Actually it's working pretty good but it need more study on this.

I'll write down here as a daily routine diary my thoughts and things I did during the day. This is not the first one by the way.

This post is getting bigger and it's being finished now.
