Things I did

• 30min Lots of Exercise
• 25min Meditating in the morning. Relaxing made it more effective, I was overfocusing before. (Joy on demand talks about this)
• 1h Reading Joy On Demand. Decided to start many micro-habits. noticing various things like joy, the end of a thought, etc.
• 30min Cleaned my desk and room a bit
• 1h Ported journals to my new website
• 2h Wrote a blog post about self-alignment, took way too long because I was getting blocked writing the "winning at life" post (a successor to my previous productivity post.) Will take breaks more in future, I was feeling tired and could have felt better had I exercised.
• Talked on discord with ESPR friends for 2h 40min
• Signed up to prepscholar, took the assessment test. I really hate SAT questions.
• Watched an hour of youtube, specifically entrepreneur videos
  • Millionaire goes homeless to prove anyone can make it
  • Paralyzed neck down makes 10M to pay for his medical bills
  • The Action Plan (by the same guy as in (1))
  • A few others that were less good but still interesting. Found Emergency by neil strauss, downloaded it and some other books.
  • A few Shinzen Young Videos Quick route to enlightenment and his experience with enlightenment. I might try strong determination sitting, it sounds like what scientology had lukeprog do.

Overall wasted ~30min in the morning checking texts and procrastinating on exercise. "Wasted" 2h 40min talking with friends, 1h on Youtube.

It's 11pm now, shuting off. I want to start going to bed earlier so I can have time to myself while doing my routine.

I'm going to try meditating an hour tomorrow, In 20min blocks. First standard mindfulness, then noticing endings, then loving-kindness.
