Sure, movie night is fun and relaxing, but there are seven days in every week. It's time to spend one of them doing something that doesn't involve a remote control and popcorn. Find a sports team, learn to play an instrument, or embrace the great outdoors. Commit to get up, get out, and get going!
"I also notice I take me less time to "finish" the character, and I'm not looking for a finish touch, that I had to star adding environment and other characters to fill in the void of time."
"yes, I took classes during summer
we decided to quit
im a brown belt level 1, that only means I have paid 18 months of tuition and attended 2 useless lessons a week.
it feels like buying a "black belt" in 30 installments of $$, plus a couple of extra purchases.
kids said they do want to get back next summer. we will see.
"
"21 hours a week cumulatively not excluding days on holiday or sick leave.
If less than 14, a minor purchase (£10 or less)
If less than 10, a major purchase or a nice experience to celebrate"

Start time: 2019-08-08 2359 in KST
End time: 2019-08-09 2055 in KST
Task(s):
- spend two Deep Work Stints doing work on PhD, i.e. do PhDx8 in two disjoint time intervals
Commitment:
The commitment is to accomplish the tasks stated above in the present journal entry in the time duration from the start time stated above in the present journal entry to the end time stated above in the present journal entry, and if this task is not accomplished, the commitment is to tear a workable 5000 KRW currency note into at least three pieces before 2359 in KST on the date which occurs exactly 24 hours after the end time stated in the present journal entry.
Notes applicable to the present journal entry:
- the present journal entry overrides all the previous journal entries in the present Stickk commitment
- Any update to the present Stickk commitment shall take 1 hour to take effect from the time that the said update is posted in the journal of the present Stickk commitment. In the said 1-hour window, the Stickk commitment shall stay as it was in the past instance.
- note that even if the start time mentioned in the present journal entry has passed, the commitment shall hold true (e.g. say its 5 p.m. at the time of posting the journal entry and I want to have 2 hours logged between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., the commitment shall be valid at the end time)
- Deep Work Stint (abbreviated as DW) is defined here as it has been defined in the most recent Stickk commitment in my Stickk account containing the string “routine system” in the title with case not considered sensitive, whether that Stickk commitment is currently active, dismissed, or inactive.
- Note on loopholes: I assume there are loopholes in all my Stickk commitments. When I exploit a loophole, in order for this loophole to be considered a valid reason for not incurring the penalty of the present Stickk commitment as defined in the present journal entry, I must state in digital or physical writing a satisfactory definition of the loophole that I have exploited in the considered instance. For this definition of the considered loophole to be considered valid, the following criteria must hold:
--- I must end this definition with a period.
--- I must write this definition of the considered loophole before exploiting the considered loophole.
--- This definition of the loophole must not cite a bulleting error as a source of exploitation of the exploited loophole.
--- I must put up a reminder in my PDA to prompt me to read the present journal entry in a near future SDEL (e.g. I can write: “SDEL: read infodiet commitment”)
- Note on specificity of clauses: Since it is mostly impossible for any commitment to be specific enough for the person committing to it to not be able to exploit a loophole in this commitment, the level of generality of each commitment in the present journal entry shall be considered of the level that is same as present level of specificity of the respective commitment.
- Relaxation clause: number of relaxation periods of any duration allowed for the present stick commitment is zero"
"The theme was blade + vegetable, but I thought it would be funny if the soldiers holding the blade were also food. So yeah, I created some character."
"A lot of work on the invisible parts of the app. I really hope to find some time to fix compilation (the last huge and scary step before it is fun again)."
"Streamed for 1.5 hours today. Also hid my viewer count as it is a distracting metric and not the one I’m trying to focus on (which is my own effort of hours streamed)."
"And today I change my mind, is actually more affective, this way you can concentrate in the cuality of your drawing instead figuring in the way and try to change it because you didn't like it."
"I did not meet my goal because during the entire time because until 3 days ago, for the first time one of my crush's actually wanted to hang out with me and that took a lot of time I could have used to code. Also the "until 3 days ago" was caused because we don't actually live in the same country even, and she left. But my goal has changed. First of all this goal doesnt work for me since im the person to just go all in or all out, so some days I would be coding for like 3 hours the entire time I was at home no problem and other days I just wasn't feeling it and didnt even reach an hour. So for coding my changed goal would be more like a certain amount of hours per week. But there are also times where if it was a busy day I wouldn't want to spend all of my time coding. After all, the main goal from all this isn't just to become good at programming. I think im going to change the goal to 45 maximum of unproductivity each day, and if my productivity time must be double that of unproductivity. This new goal is just much more flexible, and the old goal failed because of its inflexibility."
