Worked today on the coding project. Must have workedd at least 5-6 hours.

Day 3
Meditation, pushups, study
I noticed a pattern. Earlier i wasn’t writing anything in journal regularly so i was under the impression that i am consistent with my excercise and meditation.
But now i noticed it’s not true. Sometimes i skip my workout 3 days in a week. Sometimes I do meditation just do 1 time but i am supposed to do 2 times everyday without skipping single day. My morning routine is still fucked up. Funny thing is the day i decide to wake up early that day i wake up more late than other day. My MO is getting triggered by very random things. Due to COVID and all for long time I rarely having conversation with girl. So few days back when I went out with a girl just for walk I enjoyed it. But when i came back it triggered my MO. But i guess it’s weakness in my part.
Also i currently have motto do the excercise, meditation at any time during the day but do it daily but now I realize it’s not good. When our day is planned we waste less time.
I have also found an awesome productivity tool Notion. It is combination of everything. Evernote, todo , trello. It has everything. Also started writing my personal journal there.
When i realize sometimes how much time I waste thinking about things which doesn’t matter. I just want to scream loudly.
So, I don’t know if it just me or others feel the same. But sometimes i feel life is too short to do anything other than to work. There is so many things to do in life. A person can travel, go to movies , socialize, drink beer and whisky, play sports. But i rarely get time to do all these things but then i feel am i missing out something?
Life is all about what you choose to do? For every choice you are leaving many other choices.
Cool. I’ve been doing the same for a while- I agree, it’s an awesome tool. I really want to make an add-on that integrates it with Habitica-perhaps you could make one with JS and Google scripts? Habitica awards people who help like that with contribution tiers. Since I use notion for to-dos and to plan my day, it would be really helpful.
Take a break-look at the top 5 regrets of the dying-
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier

Yes that’s a great idea integrating both. Yes Java script will be the most suitable. Habitica and Notion both exposes their API so you can do many things through that. Let me know if you will need any help.
Thanks for sharing this list. I have to think it through and reflect on my life.
@anon65589122 Bro I was asking if you could do it since you said you’re a programmer (right?) 
I haven’t used Java/JS or HTML/CSS for a good year or so, since I switched from majoring in computers to biology. I wish to re-touch all that only after my exams.
Okay. I misunderstood. I checked Habitica has API. Notion haven’t released their API. That is making lot of developers angry. But they are planning to in Spring 2021. Once they will release it I will create the Add on. It’s in my to do list.
@anon65589122 Great! I’ll be glad to help if I can-even if it’s just beta testing. You can check out some of the other scripts if you like just to get a feel of how the API works-usually Google scripts is used.
Sure bro. I will let you know if i will need any help. As I know Google scripts can be used only to write Add ons for Google products. It can’t be used for other Apps. So i think we have to use Java script.
@anon65589122 Yeah, but to integrate it with the Habitica API, when I use add-ons I’ve always had to use Google scripts this far, though the code is in JS/CSS. Probably because it’s for the website-maybe if it’s for the android app it’s purely JS ? ( ﾉ ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ
For App probably Google script is required. When you Add-ons what do you mean by it? Add ons for browser like chrome ?or some kind of android app? Usually API should be accessible in any programming language. It should be language independent. That’s the best practice to create an API. But I will check more on agoogle scripts. May be i am missing something.
Thanks. I understand it now.
Yesterday’s update,
Created elaborate plan on Notion of my day to day life. Evaluated how i usually waste my time. Scheduled the activities. It won’t be easy to follow the schedule but i have to do it.
Did meditation 1 time. Surya namaskar 1 time.
No workouts.
Walk 30 min.
Study 2 hour
Meditation did 1 hour in the morning
Running in evening
Gayatri mantra , pranayama in evening
Have been watching deep learning videos for exams.
Meditation morning and evening,
Pushups 300 times.
I was distracted whole day today for some weird reason I don’t know why.
Mind can be trained to think just one thing. Wrote journal today.
It can be trained to not fantasize. Whenever we create fantasy it’s because deep down we enjoy it.
I see you can relate…
That’s really good.
