Since I started college, I seem to have rarely left behind long texts other than diaries. In my diary, I only write a few notes about what happened today. When I look back over the past few years, it's even hard to find any records that reflect my thoughts and state at the time. Therefore, I started to try to record my life in the form of a weekly report. The format and theme of the weekly report are still being explored, and the form of the first few issues may be adjusted until I am satisfied. The time is probably every Sunday night.
Details of this week#
Time span: 2023-08-21 ~ 2023-08-27
Expenses: To be calculated
Key directions#
Work#
This week, I am still in the early stage of verification in a certain direction at work, occasionally fixing platform issues.
Overall, work is easy, and there is not much worth mentioning. It's just that I occasionally feel lost (because it's exploration, it's hard to see clear output/value at the moment), and then I get anxious about what if I get laid off...
Next week should be similar, maybe there will be an MVP and I will discuss the next optimization direction with my mentor.
Still need to communicate more...otherwise it's easy to go in the wrong direction.
Social media influence#
In terms of social influence this week, it's still Twitter/Telegram Channel, and no new channels have been developed. Currently, I feel that the two Twitter accounts + TG have become a bit messy, and I don't know where to post some things... At the same time, I tried xlog, and I feel that the interaction and experience are a bit worse... but at least it's on the chain, so I don't have to worry about running away/stability issues. So, I temporarily use xlog as a long-form platform.
As for Twitter, there has been steady growth this week, mainly influenced by the taxi series of tweets.
Next week, there should be no fluctuations. I can't come up with any activities, but if everything goes well, I should receive a motivation plan next week? I don't know how much money I can get...
I neglected the management of the channel, and several indicators of stickiness have decreased significantly. I didn't post many messages, and the growth was not significant due to the replacement of the pinned tweet on Twitter. I need to rethink the positioning of the channel.
Knowledge#
This week, I was addicted to "The Greatest Demon Lord in History" by Shen Mo Wu Xian Yao Gui Ren, and made no progress...
Next week, I will try to make some progress. The long-term focus is mainly on two things:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji8kKMSLEQo
Yale's early medieval course, to enhance understanding of historical continuity and fill in the gaps in theological knowledge. - Professor Snyder's "Reconstruction of Nations: Poland/Ukraine/Lithuania/Belarus (1569-1999)"
Reviewing the history of Eastern European nations, I feel that my previous impression of Western history mostly stayed in Western Europe/North America, but in fact, Eastern Europe also played a very important role, and even for a long time was the center of the West... I need to complete this part. - Prigogine's "The End of Certainty: Time, Chaos, and the New Laws of Nature"
It's been a long time since I read a physics-related book, and the discussion about determinism a while ago made me confused again... I need to fill in the gaps.
New project#
I took some time to write database CRUD and unit tests, but progress has been extremely slow due to work/novel addiction.
Health#
Weight fluctuated between 75.4 ~ 75.8kg, ate too many snacks... Next week, I will control myself from eating!
Blood pressure is well controlled, even though I finished taking the medication, it is still below 120/75, which is good news. But I will continue to take the habit of taking medicine, anyway, vitamins have no side effects...
State#
Overall, this week was fine, and I didn't have insomnia. There wasn't anything that made me very angry. I had a great weekend, but I didn't accomplish much. But that's life~
Random Thoughts#
The first weekly report~
I feel like the logic of writing is not very smooth. I just say whatever comes to mind. But it was just a preliminary idea, and I hope I can stick to it.
Hmm, one thing I don't like recently is that I seem to be increasingly labeled as a programmer.
I hate being labeled, especially being labeled like this. I have never liked being described by a few simple words, and being described like this makes me feel like my accumulation in other areas is not recognized...
The Xiaomi wall lamp I bought is really comfortable and has greatly increased my sense of happiness!
And then, this week, because of some public affairs, it also strengthened my inner self. I used to be a very straightforward person, if I don't like something, I don't like it. But since I gained a lot of followers on Twitter in June, I started to inexplicably pay attention to not being so unrestrained...
Now I think it's a bit inexplicable. I'll just block if I want to block, and ignore if I want to ignore (only for strangers).
Hmm, the consistent problem since joining is that I can't focus as much as before. Therefore, the progress in the "knowledge" direction has been severely slowed down, and there has been no progress for several months. I need to think about how to adjust my state to be more focused, rather than focusing on scattered things.
That's it for now, see you next week~
