Hello
I’m starting my diary and starting streak from scratches again. I’ve just lost my record of 70 days. I was naive as I thought that will power is enough to gain the victory. I want to achieve a lot this year in certain areas of my life. It’s evening now, it’s good time to preper some plans and ideas how to change lifestyle and how to use this diary to mark what was done and what failed each day. My life was a total chaos last 3 week. I had exams almost everyday, almost forgot what is day and night Today I wrote the last exam for now, so I can come back to reality. Summing it all up, I guess it’s the best time to start the way.
In this diary I want to summarize each day and sometimes write sth about my life. I used to have a blog and I find it nice to see how life and philosophy has changed.
I’m starting with list of areas in which I want to improve or things that I just need to do.
Physically
- Running
My dream is to run 5km under 20 minutes. For this year plan minimum is to beat my dad during half marathon at the beggining of November. - Workout
I need to gain some weight so that I’m the better than other guys not only in technique but strenght also in karate trainings. - Boxing bag trainings
It’s good for stamina as running. I will use it in order not to overtrain any muscle. Hopefully my hand injury won’t come back. - Stretching
I have a bet with friend, who of us is the first one to do twine.
Studying
- C/C++ programming
All job offers after my kind of education require programming in these languages. I need to improve. Plus I’ve just bought microcontroller and I’m excited to do some projects with it. - Java programming
I’ve chosen to do thesis that requires basics of Java. - Verilog
I failed to find internship for summer. So I will have internship at university what requires knowledge of Verilog.
*VHDL
Another programming language. If I’ll fail in searching for C/C++ job, I can always search for VHDL job. So I need to remind and improve it.
Work/to do stuff(short term stuff)
- Univ projects
Exams are done, but still have to do 2 projects. I hope it won’t take me more than 2-3 days. - My room
I feel like I have too many things in wardrobe, on shelves. Need to check everything whether I need it and clean everywhere strictly. - Motorbikes
I feel very ashamed of the fact that I have 2 bikes and both of them are broken and unable to ride. I need to find the tools, which used to be next to bikes but now are all over the house, buy parts, try to fix it and contact extremely busy bikes mechanic if I fail. - Selling
I actually began checking what is covered in my room and found some things that are too good to threw them away. I need to make nice ads and sell them. - Internet
We have very fast internet connected to house, but it sucks. I need to configure devices, check whether cables are broken and argue against internet company to receive logins to router.
Free time
- Chess
I find it as the best way to spend short breaks during the day. 10 minutes, some mind exercise. PM me if you want to play against me - Books
I feel like I need to widen my knowledge about some stuff, to create my point of view and it can be also great way to relax. I want to go to bed earlier to read a book before falling asleep. - Prayers
It’s like taking a shield against urges and bad thoughts. I want to pray or at least think shortly about God few times a day. I used t do that and it felt great. I felt like God was always with me.
Travel
It’s always my first thought about summer. I’m usually extremely spontanous about that. So my goal is to travel at least half a day per week. I also want to make at least two times week-long journeys. I’m getting older and I guess people aren’t so eager to take older hitchhikers, so it’s my last chance.
So these are fields I want to improve this summer. Thans to summarizing everyday, I’ll be able to check whether my plans/ideas how to make this happen are right or I need to try other way.
I’m starting this journey now with preparing plan for tomorrow, going to bed early and reading.
I know that my body is always weak after realpse. I need more sleep now and probably I’ll have problems with concentration tomorrow. I’m considering it in my plan. I’m also not a guy that sticks to detailed plan. I wrote it all so that I know what else to do during the day. I’m preparing only small tips for tomorrow.
Wake up at first alarm clock. Work till 15:00(few minutes of working out at every full hour). Then dinner, then visit friend, then running, then studying. If it gonna rain I will change friend and running to more work/study and do some boxing in the evening.
