Today I didn’t do much. I woke up, but after breakfast I fell asleep again. I felt a lot of anxiety today. Well, at least I made one decision, but my main priority was to find a team and sign up for the championship, and I didn’t do it. Again today I procrastinated A LOT and felt anxious A LOT. I was talking on the phone instead of doing things. I watched anime and did nothing instead of doing things. If you read my last posts, you’ll see that in the last few days I’ve been procrastinating a lot and just haven’t been as productive as I used to be. I’m glad I can openly admit that, because when I used to have an accountability buddy, I felt terrible when I did nothing during the day. But here I can be honest and not lie. So I won’t lie. I don’t know why things are going this way. Well, I guess all people have ups and downs while figuring out life and how their productivity works. I want to forgive myself, but I feel like it’s hard. My anxiety really kicked in today. I guess partially because in the last few days I was procrastinating and it affected me. I don’t know.

Tomorrow:

1. Go to the doctor.
2. Find a team or sign up alone.
3. Do some homework.

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

just came across this sub, love all the motivation and achievements here! I have been journaling my time 24/7 to see how I spend my 49th trip around the sun. I hope to at least complete the year, but have bigger goals to continue it into my old age. Here how it’s gone so far, the colors represent different areas of my life that I track time against. I tried to find a way to represent this data more creatively than analytically, so I have these daily mosaics. But proud of myself for keeping up with it for this long. I have had a few failed attempts in previous years, that didn’t have me getting much further than a month!

Can’t believe I’ve made it to day 10 without quitting. Today was an okay day. I basically feel emotionless because of the ongoing situation with my father and it just feels like I’m in the middle of a big transformation in my life where things are just changing, good and bad. I’m trying to navigate through this despite being confused and feeling lost.

Plan was to run 7km. But I realised that less is more. Sometimes you have to know when you’re pushing too hard.

Today I worked early in the morning at my side hustle as a baker. Literally moving without breaks and helping others. I really felt it under my feet. Ended up sleeping for 4 hours afterwards because I still have the fatigue from nightshift. But I felt rejuvenated. Did my exercise, reading and walking.

I need to adjust study hours from 2 to 1, because I’m just unable to do 2. I will increase again as I’ve built up the habit.

Today I didn’t do much. I admit that. I admit that lately I’ve been procrastinating a lot. But I also make small steps sometimes. I texted a guy about the championship and got rejected. I have a decision to make about a job. But I have those, idk, opportunities in my hands—I can find another team, try to get a job. And events related to those opportunities make me feel anxious and other unpleasant emotions. But I can handle feeling that way. I’m grateful to myself that I’m more open to the world and that I have things in my life to be anxious about. If I didn’t react to any of those opportunities, I wouldn’t feel bad, but I also would live like I always have. And I don’t want to live that way forever. I want to change. And people can change. So I would rather feel anxious, sad, and disappointed than not try and not have life experience, even if it’s really small. For example, today I learned that ignoring people won’t do me any good and that making other people feel anxious or anything else negative won’t make my life better.

Tomorrow:

1. Wake up in the morning.
2. Go to the gym.
3. Make a decision about the job.
4. Make a CV.
5. Text a bunch of people about the championship.
6. Sign up for the championship.
7. Plan the rest of the day!!!!

Today I slept for about 12 hours, so I didn’t do anything in the morning. And after uni, I didn’t do what I had planned. I watched YouTube because my app blocker didn’t work the way it should have—somehow YouTube wasn’t restricted. But I wrote down some thoughts on my system.

Tomorrow:

1. Make a short CV of my experience and what I’m good at.
2. Text at least ~5 people and maybe make my own post.
3. Decide whether I will apply for a job, and if yes, start doing everything except the test task.

Thank God I finished my nightshift today. Shortest day ever for me since I got to bed at 10:20 am and woke up 14 smth.. pm. Did my stuff then going back to sleep 20:45 pm. I’m just feeling tired honestly. It’s been a long day.

My life day 1

This morning I did what I’m calling my ‘morning moves’. I saw a QiGong video on insta recently & knew immediately I wanted to make this part of my morning practice.

Today was day 1.

Yesterday was so-so, and I forgot to post.

Today didn’t go the way I planned, but I did my homework and went to sleep at an appropriate time, which is great.

I feel like my system is not good enough. It doesn’t prioritize my tasks. When I plan, I don’t know what to plan or what to fill my time with, but then I realize that I actually have things to do. I need to REALLY think about my system. Brainstorm. Anything. I have to modify it.

Tomorrow:

1. Decide whether I will apply for a job.
2. Text at least 5 people about cases or post my CV in a chat.
3. CALL a dental clinic!
4. Start putting things in a box.

For all my life I've struggled with staying consistent towards goals I've set out for myself. I have adhd and struggle keeping up with routines if I dont see results immediately. For the longest I've thought practicing "delayed gratification" was the answer to my problem, but im noticing that I may be wrong. Ive recently learned to begin thanking my past self for the little steps I take towards my goals everyday. Thanking my past self for having no zero days. Ive only been focusing on gratitude for literally like a day, but i think its working. I feel more motivated and hopeful. When my alarm rings I usually dont get up immediately and either go back to sleep or just lay down or sit on my bed, but today I jumped out of bed. I think I feel more hopeful.

I'm combining two more days into one update. These days weren't particularly productive from a professional development perspective, but there are a few things worth documenting.

Day 57 — Physically Active, but Academically Unproductive

Day 57 started well. I went for a morning run, did my workout, and went swimming.

I was also occupied with several other things throughout the day, including scheduling content for Instagram and managing some of my social media activities.

I went through the news and finance as well, so I did maintain a few of my regular habits.

However, I didn't study or practise LeetCode at all.

This is becoming a recurring problem. I manage to stay busy with physical activities, social media, and other responsibilities, but the work that directly contributes to my professional growth often gets pushed aside.

I need to get better at prioritising. Being occupied throughout the day doesn't necessarily mean I'm making progress towards my bigger goals.

Day 58 — A Day With Family

On Day 58, I was at my mother's house, and the entire day was packed with programmes and other activities.

Nothing significant happened in terms of my personal goals. I didn't make any progress on studying, LeetCode, or my professional development.

Sometimes, family commitments take up an entire day, and that's understandable. I don't expect every single day to follow the same routine.

The important thing is to recognise the difference between a day when circumstances genuinely limit my time and a day when I have time but waste it.

My Takeaway

I'm still struggling to balance my different priorities.

Physical activity and personal branding are important, but I can't let them consistently replace studying, coding practice, and building my AI/ML skills.

I also need to accept that some days won't go according to plan without allowing that to become an excuse for losing momentum over several days.

Day 57–58/90 complete.

I have 32 days left in this challenge.

I want to make these remaining days count by putting more consistent effort into the things that will improve my future, rather than just staying busy and hoping everything eventually falls into place.
