It must be said that the environment is what will help us move forward in everything, in all aspects. Not instant motivation or dopamine. Motivation only makes you a little interested in doing something at that time, it does not make you able to go long term. Positive motivation or dopamine will not be maintained for long if you do not spend time to exercise (like me). So I always create for myself an environment that allows me to move forward sustainably.
Every day, I have the habit of walking around X, Uneed and ProductHunt. Currently, these are the environments that keep me burning with a passion for building products. Although I do not spend as much time building as before, I will still keep that fire.
The same goes for the corporate environment, when everyone around me focuses on their laptops to do their own work, it also makes it impossible for me to be distracted by other things. Although I don't like the corporate environment very much, it's restrictive, not free, not comfortable to express my personality. But it's also a part that will help me grow every day.
The university environment, a place that has helped me grow every day. I received the necessary knowledge for my whole life, friends who help each other in every situation. This is really precious.
The living environment. What will distract me the most is the surrounding sounds, the sound of my friends' games, the sound of talking and laughing. But that doesn't mean I can't create an environment for myself. I will clean my desk to start a session with my laptop.
Today working at the company is quite effective, quite productive. I feel like I can do everything in the morning, can complete all the tasks assigned for a week in the morning. After a nap at noon and waking up, I can only concentrate for about 30-60 minutes. It seems like I'm almost done with everything (although it's not done, only about 70-80%) but I get distracted by other things and procrastinate thinking that there are still 1-2 days left, why do it so soon. I'm trying to get rid of this, procrastination is a disease I always have.
Today I had the opportunity to listen to podcasts again, by chance, just in the morning full of energy with a cup of coffee by my side. I turned on Spotify to listen to some music to inspire me to work, but I came across a few podcasts by The Tri Way, a podcast I've listened to quite a bit before. Listening and working, it feels so relaxing :)
Recently, after every afternoon of work, I feel quite hungry, I feel like I could faint at any time :) That's a good sign, I think, I read somewhere that the more brain activity, the more energy will be consumed, and I will get hungry quickly. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's probably true :) That also shows that it's a good sign, showing that my brain is still active. HAHA
Tomorrow I go to school, I only study in the morning, but I'd like to work remotely all day, just to change the working atmosphere. The company allows 1 remote day a week. I plan to use it all. I won't miss a day :)
See you tomorrow
