DIARY...or some kind of

In this post, I’ll include everything related to my seven pillars (see also How to Live Guide: Practical). I’ve done this before in an older blog, but that work is unfortunately lost to me for now. So, I’ll simply begin again...starting from today, at random.

7 pillars

1. Mental and Physical Health
2. Artificial Intelligence
3. Finances and Future
4. Relationships, Friends & Family
5. Improving the World: Nature & Humanity
6. How to Live: Practical & Theoretical (Life Hacks, Philosophy, ...) (see here for practical, for theoretical bacgound check out this link)
7. Xplore the World & Knowledge Database (series, movies, anime, books, fun facts, interests,...)

Mental and Physical Health

Nothing particularly noteworthy today. I cleaned my house a bit, brought more order to my kitchen, and did the laundry. I also prepared my bag for work tomorrow. My eating habits weren’t ideal, I even picked up a pitta and some French fries from the local shop.

Artificial Intelligence

I completed one lesson from my tutorial. My plan is to dedicate about 50% of my free time this coming week to AI, since I have a test I need to pass in order to be admitted to a course I’ve been planning to take (more on this later).

Finances and Future

I thought about how to manage things but didn’t take any concrete steps today. Right now, I’m facing a deficit of -4K, and the bank keeps calling me. There’s no immediate solution, especially since they seem to have withdrawn my credit line. I’ll look into it tomorrow after studying AI, as there isn’t much I can do about it today.

Relationships, Friends & Family

I sent a couple of messages to X1. She’s having a difficult time, so I tried to comfort her with kind words, letting her know I’m thinking of her and wishing her strength to push through the challenges she’s facing.

Improving the World: Nature & Humanity

Nothing today.

I worked on two history-related posts: my timeline and lessons for today. I also watched about an hour of my latest James Bond movie, the last one and I am finished: No Time to Die, and spent half an hour on the Platinum hunt in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (more on this later). I read a little in The Daylight War by Peter V. Brett, a book from the Demon Cycle series that I enjoy. On top of that, I added about ten new series to my comprehensive series list.
