The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I had 2 terrible fucking weeks of bad output and zero discipline due to new years, had a lot of people visiting Rajasthan, I went out every other night nearly, so back on the thing now, my aim is still the same of 180 xp of mathacademy where 1xp should take you 1 minute which means 3 hours, 2 hours each for boot.dev and this book learning web design for frontend. I got like 2 good days. Did not workout, rehab or meditate at all either so overall terrible week, worse since I started this all back in November.
I did sleep earlier yesterday, wake on time, and bang out math and backend yesterday. I have three more days left in the week, so I am aiming to get the remaining three right. I hope by next week I can have four good days of my six-day week and sleep on time.
I will also step back from culture war posting, just not worth it, a lot of it is fake too, I spoke with this adrian dittman guy who everyone thought was musk about NRx so that was funny. Logging this for posterity more than anything else. I have a therapy session scheduled for next week, my sessions are mostly about my productivity and to ensure that I abide by the plan and my timetable, I log what I do daily for those reasons.
Apologies if my post has typos, I did a 5-hour math session just now, it was supposed to be 3 as each xp should take 1 minute but I kinda felt under the weather today so it dragged on, took 5 hours to get 180 xp.
I understand nothing about the mathacademy commentary here but I encourage you to continue pushing self-discipline.
Appreciate the sentiment, consistency of any kind and self discipline are of utmost importance at least for the coming years for me.
Math academy is where I learn math from, you should do 1 xp in a minute but I took way longer as I was not mentally sharp.
