4.2.2025 feeling so tired today. i used my travel alarm clock for the first time and loved it honestly. waking up early let me finish my morning pages at a reasonable time to finish the rest of my routine. i did my neetcode problems and have been feeling good about those since they're mostly ones i've done before. taking time to really think about the problem and how i'm going to approach it makes all the difference. i also finished the intro part of the odin project so i'm gonna go ahead and check out what hackattic challenge i'm going to do. i have to leave early today for my woodworking workshop which i'm excited for. will be interesting to see how i adjust to being away from home and my workspace starting tomorrow. 4.1.2025 i'm letting the start of q2 be my own personal new year. a testament that i can have a clean slate and start over whenever i want. I started studying again, and did my morning pages today :) and am currently trying to take time to figure out what i'm going to do during my study breaks and what other things will fill my "work" day. I want a daily writing practice aside from morning pages, even if its just another place to dump thoughts, but think something more public facing would be nice. i don't think i trust myself to rely on roam daily notes. i think i want to make sure my study breaks are away from my desk, i think spending time with my hobbies, or something tactile would be nice. and i think i'm going to try and work through the odin project and do hackattic challenges to learn something new, and work on things more relevant to what i already know :)
