April review
If you like this post and would like to read more of my posts,
Subscribe!After basically taking all of March “off” (only did Week 1, and lost my records for that week), hoping for a more productive April. Mostly porting March’s goals over.
Habit goals
- 10 minutes of walking per day. [Same as Feb]. Third month in a row.
- 2 times a week running (for varying times). [Slight change from Feb]. Tracking two 5Ks a week by week 3.
- [Paused] 3 chess puzzles in a row every day.
- [Paused start] 1 chess blitz game (3+2) per day. Play & analyze.
- 3 sets of push-ups every other day. [Same as Feb] Weighted, 3x11 with 2:00 rest between sets. Starting out non-weighted, to ramp up.
- 3 sets of squats every other day. [Same as Feb] Weighted, 3x15 with 2:00 rest between sets. Starting out non-weighted, to ramp up.
- [Secret goal]. [Continuing from Feb]. Targeting 1:1. Setting a low bar so it can be cleared.
Non-habit targets
- Complete Designing Data-Intensive Applications (DDIA) by 03/10. Mid-chapter 7 as of 03/01. [To be updated]
- Complete Martin Kleppmann’s lecture studies.
- Complete FreeCodeCamp’s courses on APIs & microservices.
- Write 3 blog articles (can be private).
And now,
The results
TBF
Week 1
- Ran only once. Feeling somewhat unwell.
- Interestingly I skipped squats but did all the push-ups (always thought squats were harder).
- Missed walking as well, on more than a couple of days.
- Made some progress on the FreeCodeCamp course. Project remains.
- Overall, a ‘so-so’ week. Can improve a lot.
