Ok day time management wise, spent 4h 20m (nice) working on abbott solutions (did 5 exercises). I feel extremely dumb whenever I'm doing analysis, I need to spend a day studying to compress my knowledge into a more usable form.
After that somewhat depressing math I was a bit tired, I spent ~1h researching ways to rewrite my website (basically: procrastinating actually rewriting it). then spent 2h actually rewriting it, ill finish the rewrite tomorrow. it already feels much better in typescript with proper modules then the "one big commonjs file" I had before
Spent 1h eating dinner and chatting on discord, spent 1h updating my productivity hacks blog post, spent 1h talking on discord about the changes I made. then I spent an hour reading lesswrong blogs (yay! did this instead of youtube)

January 6th is the day I finished reading Superintelligence, and that’s the day my life felt like it entered protagonist mode. I tore through ten books over the next week and a half, from The Art of Strategy to Thinking: Fast and Slow. [...]
I need to get to "protagonist mode", all the posts by TurnTrout are very inspiring.

The mechanics of my recent productivity

Wow his brain works just like mine, this is great since stuff that works for him will probably work for me.

I read this awhile ago but reading it again it's even better Things I'll use from this:
- Compartments where "Nothing is beyond my reach" and "My willpower does not deplete"
- Reapply "Willful Inconsistency" to UFAI

And I Show You How Deep The Rabbit Hole Goes
By sending this message back, I destroy my entire timeline. I do this in the hopes that you, in the carefree springtime of the universe, will be able to find the person who made these pills and escape doom in the way we could not.
Good story, not really productivity related
Once I finish my blog rewrite I've really gotta add subscriptions/notifications of some sort to my blog, since some people are actually reading it (crazy I know). If you're interested on getting notifications in the meantime you can join my discord.
Oh, last idea before bed: Review old journal post each day. This'll help with remembering my past goals/realizations/etc.
