November 8th
not sure how to classify today's thoughts or where to start. first of all i guess i want to shoutout modern medicine and its advances in general. i consider myself lucky to be living during these times where healthcare and meds are available, and where cures to many previously unknown diseases are known and we can live considerably longer. i think that the doctors and scientists who contributed to such advances are deserving of a special title. it's thanks to them that we are able to live and prosper on this planet, even when they couldn't do so for as long.
second, i would like to outline some goals for this month, although it already began. i'm not the best at goal setting and further goal implementing, but i'm stubborn enough to succeed although i'm not yet quite sure what fuels the stubbornness – it just comes and goes i guess. there are some things that i have been putting off for a long time, and some things that i have been trying to do and failing at. let's see how much of this list will be left over on December 8th. (that is, if i continue writing here haha)
daily PF, back, and ab exercise
finish learning Fuel to Fire
-3lbs
save 2/3rds of income
start ortho course/contact the ortho
start and finish a book
literature review&exam review for master's course
i hope these are not too much and won't hang above my head. i would not want to put more than i can stomach on my plate. most of these are achievable if, and perhaps only if implemented into daily routine. at first it's gonna be hard and my brain and body will be whining, but sooner than later we will all get used to it. i think my 'ideal' routine for the month would be something like this:
wake up, do the exercises, then read with the morning coffee
work, read a paper and take notes during lunch
go home, stretch, have dinner, practice F2F
check out the notes and read before sleep
during the week, i will also need to get in contact with the ortho office, which does not require much of a routine. i already have food made in bulk for the next 4 days, but i suspect i will need to freeze some of it because i made a bit too much (6 portions for something that should not be consumed after 5 days of storage).. anyway, it will help me save time during the week, so all good. i got really into mint infusions (like a tea but just mint and no tea if that makes sense) so i will need to buy some more mint. logging off now, until the next thought pops up.
