Daily Dec 24

Dec 29th

• Today is my fasting day, I didn't do HIIT in the morning because I gave a blood donation two days ago.
  • However, skip exercising make me feel like lacking of motivation and inert.
• I have change back my main device from laptop to tablet. It is much more convenient. 

Dec 28th

• Going outside is so much better than stay struggle in the house(room), even though I didn't read much, there are still many things that motivated me to do my work and reading more, not just stay sedentarily and be lacking of dopamine in a little and limited square room.
  • I think it is necessary for me to go outside every day. Which one who doesn't want me to go outside might not be my good friend.

Dec 24th

• Today, I tried going back to do an alternate day fasting method(a day of fasting and a day of feeding). It seems like after eating a lot of food withing one meal(very high calories of refine carbohydrate), it is quite hard to maintain focus on my work and I tend to procrastinate more.
  • It might not be the problem of eating method, but what I eat is a refined carbohydrate which is not good for my blood sugar consistency and focus, no matter how much I eat within a day.

Dec 23rd

• I feel like there is much less idea produced and slower improvement in me when I extend my feeding day to two days instead of alternate between one day feeding and one day fasting.
  • My focus and English listening skills seem decreased even I tried doing HIIT more which implied that the main key is fasting, not exercise.

Dec 18th

• I think the cause of lacking inspiration in myself is that when I was a teenager, I made myself numbed to my emotion which provided me the ability to do the thing that I don't like, eg. studying for the university entrance examination. I have to stop suppress it and bring my emotion back.

Dec 17th

• Yesterday, I found that using kindle scribe make me read more than reading on tablet. Maybe, it is because of the better eye comfort on e-reader.

Dec 16th

• I want to bring back the previous version of myself, the one who has a lot of creativity and aspiration(even though he has not much knowledge), not the clumsy and overthinking old man like this.
• I think, in trading and investment, there are also so many ways of knowledge to make money, such as Market or financial structures, Arbitrage, News, Economy, Long term value investment in stock, or even technical analysis in trading(swing trade, scalping). Every branch of them have their own principles. The "learner" shouldn't focus on making profit but focus on developing knowledge in all of those ways by enrolling for a course or reading every important book in every major branch. After studying all of their branches, then focus deeper on the way that you good at it.

Dec 14th

• This is my fasting day after the two consecutive feeding day, I also do HIIT running for 10 mins(this is the 2nd day of continuous exercise, counted from yesterday).
  • I am totally find. Eating 4 meals a day within 12 hr for two consecutive day didn't decrease my energetic feeling.
  • I can still exercise by HIIT running though it is quite weaker in the second day. 
• I think I can't use my laptop much even though it is great because the main priority and productivity is reading which the laptop can't provide the convenience much.
  • one problem of my laptop that inhibit my productivity is that there are too many customizable options that make me don't accept the present condition and just work, but tried to spend time upgrading and customizing my laptop.
• After I resold some of my stuffs, collected some funds and going back to the investing market(not trading), I found myself more energetic like I am doing some meaningful work to my own life.
  • Finance may be my secondary interests, apart from programming

Dec 13rd

• Today is my 2nd feeding day, I eat around 3 meals.
• I tried reading from laptop screen and found that reading on tablet is so much better. I don't know why, maybe my tablet screen(huawei matepad 11.5s) has eye comfort features.

Dec 12nd

• I found that in the past I buy a lot new stuff just for trying new things(and usually found them redundant), I found that it is very superfluous because some of them I barely used it. I feel so guilty to the earth that I am the one who destroy the environment.
  • I have to sell my stuff as 2nd handed.
  • I won't buy any new thing any more.

Dec 10st

• I am considering to extend the feeding day to two day and fasting for one day. It is because in the only one feeding day period I have to eat so much in one day(at least 5 meals) which also decrease my sleep quality, my mood stability, overload to my intestine and also increase inflammation(by high blood glucose).
  • I would eat 4 meals a day for 2 days and then do all day fasting for one day.
  • For exercise, I would try exercise(HIIT) in the 2nd day of feeding and the fasting day. 

Dec 9th

• I haven't wrote blog for a while but my life was not that bad; at this time, my life is gradually better because I have more knowledge to manage my limited dopamine reserve in every day, so I can study well at both programming that I love and dentistry that I'm usually bored.
• I also have less argument with my mom. Because I could focus better on Dentistry(though I also study programming) which is what my mom want. Having no stressful argument is very good for mental health for me and my mom.
  • And I also read Tripitaka that teach me about doing bad things(eg. talk bullying to each other) never be able to cause good results. Also, doing good things(eg. not saying bad thing to each other) will never cause bad results.
• However, what I notice is that I focus less on my language skill, and its fluent is also dropped. I feel it is quite harder to communicate in English.
  • What I have missed is practicing. So, I have to continue more practicing.
• I notice that after the day that I did combination of HIIT exercise(running) and all day fasting(33-36 hrs), I can listen to English language much clearer.

Dec 7th

• I found that in the day that I go exercise(running outside), I will write my blog. But if I stay home or haven't exercise for a while, I usually don't write my blog. It may be because the idea usually come with exercise.

Dec 6th

• I have already changed my eye glasses to plastic glasses frame which has more narrow nose bridge(15 mm) which fit perfectly with my thin shape nose. It doesn't require any further adjustment like all of my previous glasses which some of them took more than a month to fit it to my face.
  I followed this guideline it help me so much.
  • I don't waste my time(30min-1hr a day) to adjust my glasses frame any more and my focus is so much better.
• I sell off my unfrequently used stuffs to gain more money for living a little bit longer
• Reading Tripitaka is so great. It contains the correct way to live that is suitable for everyone.

Dec 4th

• I found that gaming is a waste of time, even more than watching movies or anime because these things still give you some knowledge and creativity. But for gaming, especially when struggling in a game with no progress, it is really a waste of time.

Dec 3rd

• Yesterday is my feeding day, I ate around five meal but didn't eat late night, I found that it make me more energetic and fresh.

Dec 2nd

• Today, I tried going back to the nature to reset my dopamine by spending time walking around 30 minutes in the park without phone using. It caused me realized that I shouldn't play game, it does no benefit to my life, neither present nor future.
  • For stress reduction, nature healing is far more better than gaming or any entertainment.

Dec 1st

• I lost myself for 3 days in a game addiction. But the knowledge of dopamine help me getting myself out from this dead spiral situation.
  • I also lost my health routine(no exercise, fasting) because of an autopilot life which was caused by the depletion of dopamine by gaming.
  • But eventually, I am glad that I could come back and continue write my daily log again.
  • I think I have to show up outside. It is always better than just staying inside the room all day which mostly(always) prones to procrastination. Even though going outside is sometimes hard and tiresome, it is always much more productive and more life progress.
