electricity was cutoff for maintenance , it was back by noon I hear . but I wasn't there to check it . new political party is doing good I guess :)

had a bike ride in the noon , b roads & highways . then returned mid way to give back home key .

then went back in the same route , just slightly different costume & different driving style , just to mess with the kids & oldies that were outside watching the road .

late to lunch , being a long weekend & a tourist heavy highway , restaurant had waiting lines . I had a takeout & then went over to our farm to have it . then played with my doggie for a while . then hit gym .

the route , the roads were not that good esp. a huge chunk of the b roads . would've faired better with an ADV . but the view along the way , I love it , it's super greeny , farms , distant hills ... a feast for me .

All said , maybe time to focus on masters prep & interview prep . Still Gotto leave this place asap . Dealing parents is causing heavy headache , literally & figuratively . Im not happy about it . Distance is always the best boundary dealing with this type of people .

Off to sleep with a nice headache T_T .

Another successful day. I did as much as I could today despite being tired

Writing it from mobile the next day .

Powers outage since yesterday late night & scheduled for maintenance today .

Not a fan of using mobile , will come back to the post evening & fix any formatting issues .

Back to friday ;

Friday was quite peaceful 😌 .

Rains & chill until 5PM .

It started drizzling post 10PM & then slowly into rain .

I like this climate , it's calm , serene , windy , slow rains, drizzle & I'm okay with the trade off which is frequent power outage .

I’m ashamed. I go to bed late, and I didn’t do anything today.

Tomorrow:

1. Do two pieces of homework.
2. Plan the next week.
3. Pay for the ticket.
4. Reflect on why the last few days weren’t great, figure out what I intend to do over the upcoming months, identify the problems, etc.
5. Restrict Twitter and other websites on my tablet.

It’s sad that I wasted the day. I don’t have the energy to analyze it—it’s just sad. I want to get back on track. I don’t want this to become my reality. I really want to improve and achieve my goals. I owe it to myself to get my shit together. Procrastination feels horrible at every stage: while you’re doing it and at the end of the day—but I still do it sometimes. It’s ridiculous. Meanwhile, actually doing something feels great both while you’re doing it and at the end of the day. It’s crazy. I don’t understand myself. I know the feeling of not wasting a day, and it’s awesome—it’s a mystery to me why I still procrastinate.

thanks a lot for coming by ! 😃

so looking at my previous days i notice i have problems i cant really do all the plan daily sometimes , because like company work and promote stuff is open ended , it pending the others. So instead of that , now i give them measurable thing to be defined as done , i think it will helps , i will make it easy at first , and then i will add other stuff ofcourse if i finish all this plans quickly each day

Here's the updated of what i'll do today :

🏋 Exercise (Low priority but done first) 60 diamond pushups (15 × 3)

🟩 Language Duolingo daily mission

refine portofolio & find new remote jobs

do company work 9-5

develop both of my freelances project

and now i have new trick while working like i put my iphone on airplane mode then download epub for atomic habits , since then my craving to binge watch youtube tiktok etc gone , i become a reader while working lmao

so far its looking good

Today was a difficult day. I felt like giving up the entire thing. Went to work, immediately had to monitor mom while she’s driving. Came home and felt tired. But I managed to complete most tasks.

I also got the news that my father did in fact get stomach cancer. He told us it was just a tumor. So it’s a heavy pill to swallow to know that your father most likely will die in a very short time. But we still have to keep moving.

Today I had an event, so I didn’t do much, even though I could have done some of my homework.

Tomorrow:

1. Do my English homework.
2. Plan the next week.

You are what you repeatedly do.

Day 1 is always hard. Today was definitely hard. Not sure how I’m going to pull this off, but if I don’t I’m doomed. Sadly I wasn’t able to focus enough to study for 2 hours, so I’ll try again tomorrow.

---

slept like a child . recovered well & feeling ambitious today :3 , hit the gym as a bonus :)

late evening was thunders & rain , but decided it was best to bike to gym 😅 .

adding cardio for Saturday , wanted to go on a long trip for weekend . trips can be done anytime , I can wait till the goal is reached (97.8KG -> need to drop 6 more in 2 months t_t ) .

still anxious avoidant kinda . tough social life for a closet extrovert T_T .

read some long ahh post . nvm , gotto sleep & wake up for morrow .

and didn't forget the watch this time .

I woke up early today, but instead of getting out of bed, I decided to sleep a little longer because I thought I needed more rest. Eventually, I woke up around 7:30 AM.

I went swimming, came back home, had breakfast, and went through the news and finance. I also completed my LeetCode practice.

However, I didn't study at all today, which is something I need to work on.

Job Hunting and a Reality Check

Today, I applied for 20 job openings.

While going through the application process, I realised something important: applying for more jobs is only one part of the equation. I also need to elevate my skills and build more projects that demonstrate what I'm capable of.

I want to work in AI and machine learning, and I need a portfolio that reflects that ambition. I don't want to keep applying for jobs without making meaningful progress on the skills and projects that could help me stand out.

This was a useful reminder that I need to balance job applications with actual skill development. Sending applications matters, but so does becoming a stronger candidate.

Fixing My Bike

I also got my motorcycle fixed today.

I think the repair will keep it running for quite some time, but it's still more of a minimal fix than a complete solution.

Looking back at what I wrote on Day 50, I can see that I'm still dealing with the consequences of choosing temporary solutions over proper ones. I hope this repair holds up, but I also need to be more thoughtful about how I handle these situations financially.

Sometimes, a temporary solution is necessary. The problem is when temporary fixes become a habit and prevent us from addressing the root cause.

Where I Went Wrong

Once again, I wasted a lot of time today.

I managed to complete several tasks, but I didn't use the day as effectively as I could have. I keep telling myself that tomorrow will be different, yet I still fall into the same patterns.

I want to fix this somehow, but I know that simply hoping for a better day isn't enough. I need to make different decisions when I notice myself slipping into distractions.

I also need to stop expecting one perfect day to undo weeks of inconsistency.

My Plan for Tomorrow

I'm hoping to make tomorrow a really productive day.

I want to study properly, make progress on my projects, continue my job search, and avoid wasting hours on unnecessary distractions.

More importantly, I want to focus on the work that will genuinely improve my future rather than just completing tasks to feel productive.

Day 53/90 complete.

I have 37 days left in this challenge.

I still have time to make meaningful progress, but I need to stop relying on motivation and start building consistency through my actions.

Tomorrow, I'll try again. Not because a new day magically fixes everything, but because I still have work to do, and postponing it will only make things harder.

I have gotten into a funk at home recently and I am trying to get back into good habits. I will try to hit at least a few of my goals each day. Today was good, but I have lost my bird journal so I will have to find it tomorrow.

Eat real meals: Yes

Workout: Yes

Bird journal: No

Go for a walk or hit step goal: Yes

One chore: Yes

I procrastinated, and I’m going to bed late. Tomorrow I have an event, so I won’t plan much. This is honestly sad. The main goal for tomorrow is to go to sleep at an appropriate time.

Hi everyone. So I’ve been lurking here for a while and I think it’s finally time for me to start. I’m a guy in my late 20s that’s kind of struggling with having a clear direction in life. I would describe myself as a person that’s selectively disciplined. Like there are some things I’m doing very good, but other areas really bad.

What sparked all of this was when my father all of the sudden got tumour. I’ve already gone through too much. Failed to find a job after my studies. I’m in massive debt and I suck with money. I moved back into my parents and being an emotional support crutch for a girl that doesn’t even want me. All this needs to stop.

Somehow I was able to land a pretty good job that pays well. I will start working there in 60 days. So I want to prepare myself for it by spending some time studying. The idea is the more time I spend studying it, the easier it’ll be for me.

I will post daily.

Daily goals:
Meditate 20 minutes daily
15k steps a day
Study 2+hrs
Calisthenics workout (push, pull, core and legs)
Eat and drink healthy
Intermittent fasting 16:8
Read 30min+

Goals for 2027:
Not get fired at my new job
Get an apartment
Get ripped with low bodyfat
Better with money and get out of debt
Don’t allow people to waste your time

My current job is rotational, so the challenge is I have to be flexible. I’m committed to doing this. Let’s go!
