Workpost 79: Taking it Easy

Byjack

I slept ok last night, so I’m feeling pretty ok overall.

However, I do feel a bit drained.

I want to take it easy today. I want to play some Valorant, do some jiujitsu, and try to mark things off my to do list if possible.

Maybe I can squeeze some drawing in as well.

Workpost 70: Picking a Path

Byjack

Today, I have many different paths that I can walk down.

I can focus on work. I can spar with my friend, I can go to jiujitsu. I could try to do it all. But I feel weary and tired from not sleeping yesterday. I feel stressed and pressured, and so I want to focus on a few things.

I suppose, first thing is first, I need to focus on work, because without that I cannot be focused tomorrow. Nothing matters until I get that piece done, and once that part is done, all manner of things are possible.

I did indeed get that done, and I feel extremely proud of the work I did.

Workpost 14: Tired

Byjack

I am worrying about a couple of things. First of all, I went to bed at 2AM again. This is becoming a pattern that I need to address ASAP.

Thinking about what I need via connection theory here is what I came up with:

  1. I need to be able to let go of not being productive during the day. It is hard, but I need to be able to say, I accept where I got to today.
  2. I need some way to process that pain and any anxiety from the day. Connection theory is telling me to yell and scream or hyperventilate.
  3. I need to get into bed at the proper time but again, like last time, I can intice myself with being able to use my phone while in bed.

Also, I feel linked to this is my anxiety around work.

My initial thought is to stop “trying” and pushing harder against a problem, rather everytime I hit an issue, write down all of the questions I have, then work out those problems outside my apartment, walking or going to the gym.

Connection theory is telling me drawing might help as well.

Overall, I feel like total shit and I feel the lack of sleep is taking a toll on my digestion. I hope to relax enough to take a nap and get back into working order.

Matches: Drudgery

Byjack

Match 1

I feel pretty overwhelmed and unhappy to work because there are a lot of tedious work to do that I don’t feel is very fun. In this first match, I just want to get everything done so I can move on.

Criteria for success:

  1. Speed (percentile)
  2. Efficiency (percentile)
  3. Intellect (percentile)
  4. Energy (1-5)

Warmup: Cleaning + walk + meditation/breathwork

Gameplan

UNIT ONE: Set up api calls

UNIT TWO: modify prompts

UNIT THREE: testing

Postmatch analysis:

I definitely did not follow the plan, yet everything somehow got done anyway.

  1. Speed – 65% I was pretty fast, knowing what I need to do and was focused. Nothing too special though.
  2. Efficiency – 60% I was ok efficiency, could have coded my way to better efficiency though
  3. Intellect – 60% I definitely used my intellect to speed things up but it could have been accomplished by many people.
  4. Energy – 3 I feel ok, which is a win.
