Check-In: 2015-09-08 (Tuesday)

Busy weekend, but a good one. Let's get the check-ins rolling again.

Diet: WIN! (fruit, vegetables, moderate to low sugar)
Exercise: WIN! (lots of walking, some yoga, some random exercise and chin-ups)
Sleep: WIN! (a bit short last night, but over 8 hrs / night on weekend, often at or before midnight)
Mindfulness: WIN! (still off and on with meditation practice, but learning to be more consistent)
Love and Gratitude: WIN! (visiting with friends)
Learning: PASS (review of documentaries)

I decided to ease off the exponential tech a bit this weekend. I don't want to burn myself out by taking a healthy fascination and turning it into an unhealthy obsession. I'm getting back into the exponential tech again today, and started by doing a scribbles-to-bits conversion on the pile of papers that has been ballooning on my kitchen table.

There's going to be a lot of work taking the bits up to publishable quality, but that will be one of many interesting pursuits in the near future. I'm going to have to be careful to balance my efforts so I don't get pulled in too many directions. Already I'm considering:

1. Work for money (Upwork? Yoga instruction?).
2. Becoming a science promoter (starting a blog, writing articles for magazines, social media).
3. Starting kung fu again.
4. Taking french classes (they start tonight).
5. Volunteering at the Edmonton Public Library in order to learn more about the Makerspace.
6. Still having some kind of social life during all this.
7. Maintain my walking, meditation, and other lifestyle habits during all this.
8. Educate myself in AIs, behavioural economics, and video production/editing.
9. Keep working on the game project.

It will be easy to over-reach, but I'm confident that with a bit of self-awareness and planning I'll figure out how to balance these things.
