Playing blindfold chess was a mistake, burned out mentally for ~1.5 hours and missed doing the other things on my TODOs. Then was with my relatives for the rest of the night.

I'm terrible at talking to people, the only time I'm engaged in conversation is when I'm talking about my interests (equivalent to talking about myself.) Need to redirect conversations in directions that interest me without being dominated by me, e.g. people's life plans, improving yourself, charity/morality.

Socializing is so time-consuming! Even with optimal time management I'd only have ~3h to work in. And my time management is far from optimal.

Tomorrow I'll do my exercise & meditation routine + Anki reviews in the morning. Try and get the EA-reading-group stuff done. Need to sacrifice some socializing in order to get time back.
