AI Consulting Days 34-35/63

Results from day 3 while tired and a little stressed.

Match 1

Reflections:

1. My mind is kind of sluggish, but this way of working where I’m warming up, then taking breaks to walk is genuinely very relaxing. I don’t feel tired at all from the work.

Result Calculation:

1. How much do I think this work is worth? I feel this work was worth less maybe $100. I feel like there were some programmer heavy tasks in here but not a huge amount was accomplished.
2. How difficult intellectually was this work from 1-10? I’d say this work was middling difficulty. Maybe around a 4. It was deceptively simple in the sense that it’s very basic information added, but takes a bit of thinking.
3. What percentile do I place this work in terms of innovation? 5%. Not very innovative, business as usual.
4. Gains in communication and charisma? Fair gains in communication and charisma, it is amazing to be able to show some of the information that I exposed in the data.

Match 2

Reflections:

1. I tried to do some chess as a mental warmup, but I feel like it left me drained, perhaps next time as a mental warmup, I can try playing chess for creativity not for the win
2. Overall I felt my energy draining in this match. I felt pretty tired.
3. I did some extra work after the match and I feel pretty tired. I felt I needed to squeeze that extra bit out.

Result Calculation:

1. How much do I think this work is worth? $120. It was pretty not special, some of the work I did programmatically could have been done by someone very cheap, but overall I ran tests that required a lot of deep level troubleshooting that is not easy.
2. How difficult intellectually was this work from 1-10? 6-7. It was debugging which can be extremely difficult, especially for someone who doesn’t know my code.
3. What percentile do I place this work in terms of innovation? 5% I don’t know if anything got innovated here.
4. Gains in communication and charisma? Good gains, gets me much closer to the final goal of presenting results.

Match 3

Reflections:

1. Focused a lot on thinking smart not hard
2. I noticed that taking a break is important, staying on the train of thought only makes you want to choose the easiest path, not the most intelligent
3. Changed work time to 15 minutes
4. Still need to let go of going fast in the warmup
5. Like to dance on the breaks

Result Calculation:

1. How much do I think this work is worth? $150. I was able to output results which is worth a ton, but to just hire someone to do this step, it’s probably less money. There was a lot of data and data manipulation involved as well as some troubleshooting.
2. How difficult intellectually was this work from 1-10? The output file is quite complex. I give it a 7 in intellectual difficulty. Not achievable by people of lower intelligence, but easy for people of high intelligence.
3. What percentile do I place this work in terms of innovation? 10% Not much was innovative, the data is quite interesting though.
4. Gains in communication and charisma? I laid the groundwork for much better result communication, I think it was great.

Match 1

Goals:

1. To be fast and effective and efficient. What percentile do I fall in terms of the human potential for efficiency?
2. To be able to see through problems in a genius like way. What percentile do I fall into for my perception?

Warmup ideas:

1. Emotional processing on stress (5 min)
2. Workout (5 min)
3. Meditation (5 min)

Postwork Review:

1. I was very calm and measured during this work. I also did not take breaks.
2. Emotional processing, exercise and meditation are quite effective.

Grading:

Efficiency: 65% I think most people would be able to do what I was able to do but I suppose there were more steps than I thought and I was quite efficient at them.

Perception: 70% The task didn’t require insane perception until the very end where I did solve a problem really fast by realizing the problem.

Art Challenge

Create a beautiful website and business card that will inspire magic and creativity in a way that I don’t have to explain to people what I mean create it for my younger self

Creating it like a gift for all my future clients

Business card is a gift and does not need to be similar to my website

Website is hogwarts, the business card is the invitation

Business cards will be trading cards:
-paintbrush
-pen
-writers block
-plot armor
-chiruscuru

Website will start as a powerpoint story -> website layouts
Worlds are waiting to be created
Villian imagined, dragons born, heroes conceived

AI Challenge

My way to get into the industry is simple. I need to learn node.js, react.js and maybe AWS in order to have a foundation to create whatever app that I want to.

Once I have those three or so elements, all manner of apps are possible

My girlfriend is leaving soon and I want to focus on her and the relationship.

I have a pretty good work system set up, but I’m not sure how to balance work with time with her.

I think the answer is just to wake up early, plan out my day and do as much breakdown as I can, then work while she is next to me in the couch reading, and if not just work during the morning.

Time is really running out in the first part of this challenge.

Perhaps it is time to actually create a challenge. I want to create separate challenges for art coaching and AI consulting (now AI gaming).

However, I think it’s ok to do both at first because the setup for each is pretty light work and can be done at the same time. In that case, I can include today.

UNIT TWO: Processing pain + work (day 2-3)
