-
hi all
happy to say so far so good, been achieving my daily targets. FOR NOW.

i will group the tools for my productivity system
  • group 1
  • do it tomorrow - this app makes you focus only on today and tomorrow. so you know what you cannot clear today will snowball to tomorrow, which is really annoying. set specific and doable tasks like watch ep 5 to 8 of section 3 so you can clear the target.
  • always include a target for exercise. if you have read the power of habits by charles duhigg, exercise is a keystone habit
  • blockers like stay focusd by transfusion media and stayfocused by innoxapps, when i see its blocked, i know i have slacked too much, time to go back to work.
exercise
  • use the same song or same playlist.
  • go for the videos with the same song
  • don't go hard, aim for consistency - everyday no missed day
  • warm up
  • my current mix now is a 30 min zumba vid + 5 min skipping (2 plays of drake's in my feelings)
  • i am not sure, but i always have this voice in my head saying i'm fat when i workout. it motivates me. but i am not a self critical person. just feel concerned about that girth.

-Delaying hard work is all about your mood.

according to this article, we procrastinate more due to our mood rather than our perception of time.
for me, i do both. look near (today and tomorrow), feel good (ignore negative news, exercise). just focus on what you need to do, putting your next foot forward. you will get there. slowly but surely. 

pacing is very important. it is not discounting though.

make sure you know what discourages you. make sure you don't give in. keep that commando voice in your head.
thing is, after a while, the grind doesn't feel that bad. we all get used to stuff.

green tea bitch

let me tell you the story of a green tea bitch and a hamsum with cheater potential.  i work closely with greentea in office. greentea has/had a long term boyfriend if more than 5 years (not sure if they still together, greentea always winces when i ask her about mr i-seriously-think-you-were-cuckolded nowadays). but she also crushes on the now ex-tech lead mr suave. suave probably left to avoid suspicion? i remember seeing her and her mr cuckolded boyfriend, she was cosying, rubbing her body against mr cuckold and leaning into him talking, on the mrt on our way back, from one of our get togethers. also knows he buys her hundreds dollar worth gifts on her birthday. (actually not very expensive i guess, she is into expensive gifts). ms prettii and mr suave ever played accidental touch ( hand brushing as they both reached for the mouse, then longing looks). she sent him a sticker of fingers touching on group chat before. anyway suave decided to teach us newbies coding in chinese (cos he s

this just came out. his recent songs are getting better, i'm impressed. metaphors and imagery on point. flying, running barefoot, looking back, blackened nails, tears in sleep, warm bright sunlight, dancing alone, flying free like a bird i relate to this because my life is to be honest, so-so in the friends department and non existent in the romance department.  i don't feel like really sad, or regret, or i need to change it. friends are busy and settled down,  some are less able to provide a listening ear (maybe to them it is childish, immature, or being listened to means you have have to reciprocate so maybe not, they have theirs at home already, they are stressed and have no more bandwidth for anything else).  that is the reality of being an adult. maybe the occasional sympathy and warmth from a colleague or friend or stranger. but that doesn't do it for me. i don't need the superficial. and i feel it is so easy to have values not align one day, or per
