OK, I have wasted enough time already. My wife is gone for over a week now. I am still having hard time to go to sleep at a right time. I am still not waking up at the right time.
Time to change that.
Tomorrow is the first day. There is really no excuses. Sure, things have been a bit different since my wife and my 2 sons left. But it’s time that I put my free time to good use.
Starting from today, I have a simple rule. Go to sleep before 10. If I go to sleep after 11, sure, then I might have to adjust my time, but I don’t see why I should be going to sleep that late.
I wake up at 5:30 am.
What do I do then? No TV at the start. I can read some quotes. I can read some motivation stuff. I could actually read my kindle in the morning during breakfast.
After that, I want to read for at least an hour dev related stuff. My goal for the 2 months is learn Algorithms and learn Hibernate on a deep level. I also want to deepen my dev knowledge.
I know I wanted to start working on the project. I think that’s 2nd in priority. Actually learning, reading, and spending some good quality time on practice is my #1 priority.
I know it’s easy to just start reading FB, twitter, etc. That’s comfortable. But that’s exactly what I should NOT be doing. Really. Stas, do the things that make you uncomfortable. That’s how I can grow.
I need to shake things up. I don’t want to waste time. That’s not me.
I am getting back to the right focus on my blogs. I have written a few entries in my Investing Notebook. I see some action there. I still need to write some more for Pragmatic Cratsman, and more for the Lifelong Learner. But I don’t want to just write because I have to. I want to write because I have something to share.
There is another thing that I want to learn and master: digital photography. I found a few excellent resources that I will read. I think it’s going to help me understand some real basics. I need to do that if I want to improve my skill. I need to get the basics right. Maybe then I can buy a better camera.
