PS: Recently, I have been busy but also making progress. I will continue to buy some media and it is also time to buy some Chinese internet stocks.
I woke up a little early today. It was still quiet outside the window, occasionally interrupted by the sound of car horns. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the noise from the construction site in the distance. After a month, I started waking up early again. It may be a reflection on myself. Writing or not writing is a different matter. Accumulation is a continuous process.
In the past month, which is June, my self-discipline in life has been poor. I have been a bit lazy and often find excuses for myself. The most obvious thing is that my attention is always drawn to unimportant matters, especially the anxiety and boredom created by the repetitive scripts in short videos. Although I don't usually watch short videos, sometimes I can't help but be attracted and influenced by this information. In the end, it is because I cannot effectively discipline myself. This is something I need to pay attention to in my future self-discipline checklist.
In terms of work, most of my time is spent fixing bugs, mostly inherited bugs from legacy code. This takes up a lot of time, naturally resulting in less technical output. After all, technical output requires a certain amount of time. Of course, this is expected during working hours. In the two choices, it is important to prioritize important matters. Otherwise, being busy without focus is a waste of time in ineffective work arrangements.
A month is a long time, but it feels so short when summarized. In the river of time, everyone is the same. If you don't leave something behind, or think about something, it really is just a momentary thing. Time is fair to everyone, but the individual productivity in a unit of time is indeed different. Some people produce more in a unit of time, while others produce less. This may be the difference in each person's utilization of time, and it is also the difference between individuals. In the midst of busyness, taking some time to organize one's schedule will be greatly beneficial.
In addition, this month I copied an illustration using procrate. From the draft to the line drawing, and then to coloring, I made changes and improvements. After practicing through deletion and redrawing, I finally completed my first illustration. I hope to continue and gradually develop a set of techniques that suit me in the future. This is the only highlight of this month.
To summarize, here are the things I need to do after today:
- In daily life, I need to sleep and wake up early. If I wake up early, I should avoid using my phone and prevent my attention from being distracted.
- In terms of technical learning, I need to set small goals and try to complete them within a specified time. I should not spread my learning too thin, as it is scattered and inefficient without focus.
- Continue practicing illustration. There is no shortcut, only continuous practice. The only requirement is to spend some time on it every week.
Repeating the above three points, I know I won't be able to accomplish more, hehe.
Alright, that's all I will write.
