My personal page

I'm in a place where I accomplished everything that I was programmed to by family and education. Being 30, I have a profession, lovely wife, own flat, and a kid. It's time to start to think what do I actually want from life. 

This journal describes a journey to the goals that I think I set myself. Writing such notes has numerous advantages and can hopefully be used for good by me and my descendants.

May 2023. It begins.

Feels like it's too much to do, but people overestimate what can they do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a year. 

First of all, I want to have more wealth. I know 1M$ is what I'm aiming for (round amount is a coincidence). It won't take me to the top 10% Americans, but will be more than enough to have a comfortable life where I live.

Actually I have a pretty good chance earning it in my regular work in 10 years. But this way is boring. That's why I'm starting my 12 launches challange in 12 months. I'm planning to launch:

Will I make any of it? 

June 2023. Gaming is a demon.

I'm still working on shaping my goals.

I feel overwhelmed by the proportion of what I do versus what I intend to do. I hope this journal can give me a good perspective on how I perform and where do I invest my time. 

For now, I'm slightly late with mlflow project. However I need to admit I figured out a better mlflow idea after having the V1 almost done. 

This month:

July 2023

We were on a vacation with my parents. I decided to not spend any time thinking on any of my work, which let me rest quite a bit. Unfortunately I didn't push any business goals.

October 2023

I lost track on anything this month. I played one board game with my family, we were on a few (5?) parties, and had 3 rehearsals. I got cold twice. I was twice in the church, attend to one concert, seen a few flats, finished 2 campaigns Exiled Kingdoms. No real movement in my technical goals. 

November 2023

December 2023
Again it wasn't a very productive month. But I had a chance to dedicate myself to my family a lot. Also had a lot of entertainment, playing a real video game in 15 years was something, also watching a few christmas comedies was cool. I read a lot and gathered a lot of thoughts and aphorisms on left-wing history.

Time passes and I'm mostly consuming media, except some good work in my job.

I forgot to write the June. 

July 2024
A good week with a lot of reading and after-job work. I was very tired of financials and following of global merkets. I spent a lot of time with the family as well.
