Misc

• I feel like I definitely put in more effort and courage than normal, which is good :) it wasn’t like immaculate or anything but I am still quite content with where I am right now

Did you complete what you set out to do in the previous monthly review? Are you content?

• Definitely adjusted to university life well, but I didn’t really do much career-wise
  • Spent more time social than career
  • Only advancements were job interview, starting react, and 1k subs

Does your calendar (and commitments) match your priorities and values?

• Yes, my time has been intentional, even if I do feel like i’ve been lacking on learning

What was the completion rate of my projects? How was the workload?

• No clue

Did I do something outside of my plans? How did it influence the month?

• I think the nightly discord chilling was outside of my plans
  • I think I have some socializing and loneliness to distract myself from, so I think it’s okay to have in my daily routine as long as it isn’t excessive

What Went Good?

• Getting out of my comfort zone for sure

What Went Bad? (Problems)

• My sleep schedule jesus christ
  • Horrendous, probably harming me a lot right now
  • It’s easy to casually miss sleep due to sleeping late at night when I have early classes
• I don’t have anyone super close to confide in and I am longing for such an intimate relationship

What can I improve on?

• Being more influential and personal with the experiences and conversations I have with people
• My sleep schedule

What should I start/stop doing?

• Start
  • Sleeping between 10:30 - 12:30
    • Establish a sleep routine
• Stop
  • Getting distracted by discord and socializing, focus on my daily plan
    • How was I able to do this before when I had friends who would constantly ask me to play?
      • Just genuinely focused on productivity
• I need to start being adamant about tracking my productivity hours, as it helped me stay productive
