Recap: This week in time sink....

• Tried a new approach to manage weekly goals to keep them a bit loose, so I particuallry don't have a metric to measure how many goals were done.

• Wasn't regular with doing Go. Primarly because of holi but also the friend I sit and study, he seem to have taking it lightly. So I should start independtly doing it. An hour is still good.

• Final interview with StatusNeo, screening with one2N and finally applied at Rotki.

• Started working on DRF project that can be turned into a blog series and a talk.

• Meditation became more frequent than exercise.

• Replaced insta and youtube shorts with short sessions of mobile games and anki cards for Japanese.

What did go right this week ?

• Interviews, those are going well. Have less anxiety during interviews and is helping getting more confidence towards the craft.

• Wrote a correct recursion code in the first go that do in live programming session of an interview. That's defenitely new for me. Last year I remember at an inteview of an hour I could not finish an easy Python script which post interview I finished in less than 20 min.

• Mediation frequency has increased.

• Being more cautious on how I spend my time throught the day, obviously not tracking every hour but I sensibly take in account where I am spening more time and do I actually like doing this.

• Slowly getting back to learning Japnease.

• Woking on side projects to polish Python and Django skills.

What did not go right this week ?

• Still not good with schedule. Though holi and cousins being around for the holidays was part of it but I should be consistent with it. Even if I do just an hour of work.

• Missing writing daily blogs. Skipped two this time one due to Holi and one due to a late night gaming session with friends. I should finish the blog before dinner just to avoid this situations.

• Exercise is still a second class citizen. I guess this is also causing a lot of overthinking and anxiety.

• DSA is still a love hate game, I should at least do a question a day to keep the consistency.

• GSOC proposal might not work out. I am getting very less time to work on it. I want to make time for it but other priorty things get in the way.

tl;dr: A slow but good week. Working towards consistency as a goal for both personal and work goals. Career progress is scary to think about right now and has led to some insecurities that I think have extended to my relationship. Nevertheless, the encouragement from friends and loved ones has been reassuring. Though I know things would start falling into peices in some time until then I should enjoy joy of programming and should work one day at a time.
