Personal Thoughts #
- Splunk - starting real work.
- As you can see above I've spent a lot of time on YouTube and that's where I want to make the biggest change this year. I already uninstalled YouTube on my devices, now I want to stop opening it in a browser. Hopefully, this will give me more time to read longer and harder books.
- I've tried to limit my D3 supplementation but regret it. My energy and motivation plummeted immediately and I even started eating more and gaining weight. Crazy when I think about it now.
- Gained some weight over the holidays as well.
Plans for the next month: #
- Stop scrolling YouTube and read more books
- Exercise more
- Eat healthier and try to lose some weight
