Leave the house at least five days a week. Previous years I was going to the gym every workday but that gym is now closed and I plan to continue exercising with my trainer in the modest exercise room of our condo and I am really scared of becoming a total recluse.

Do you work from home? If you do just find a different gym on the way to/from work; if not can you find a gym near a good workspace (like a library or good coffeeshop)?

#124I'm spending more time working on things that I can touch. That means more woodworking, electronics projects without any software attached, and customizing real-world tools like my desk, coffeemaker, and bass amp for what I want them to do.
I'd also like to get my bench press up from 170 to 225 and cut carbs down, but not eliminate them.

#126* Exercise Everyday (intensity/duration may vary, but never ever miss) * Make healthy diet changes one at a time (Very very hard to do. Try to do multiple stuff and drop them all. ) First change, start with raw veggies in the morning. * Delta-debug how to get into flow state as many time and as fast as possible (Kramer's rule from below, couldn't be better stated). For starters, work on one and only one thing at a ti…
I'm guessing you've never tried daily gym sessions. Once you find what challenges your body in the way you want, I'm sure that you'll find that you make better progress and feel more satisfied taking rest days in between. On those days I try to get 50-100 pushups during downtime to not feel so sluggish - I really think you'll be happier not pushing your body so much so quickly.
Can I ask why you've picked raw veggies for breakfast to start with? Also, have you ever tried L-Theanine?

Theres the global game jam coming up. I'll make some time for it. And spend the first few weekends this year going over unity tutorials. Instead of just using apps, hit the hackathons join the teams and try to make…
>>Instead of just voting, get involved in political parties (I already do this I must admit), get out campainging and creating new support.
Does voting count as consumption? You aren't really consuming anything, but rather exercising a right. (OK, I guess you consume the physical ballots, but I have a feeling that wasn't your point.)
That said, getting more involved in political parties is definitely a commendable goal.

#130Try to keep my add in check even more. Less smartphone use(that is a though one, I get crabby and irritated if I don't look at it every few minutes...). Try to draw every day for at least 30 minutes.
