April 2025

Recap

  • March was scaffolding. The Next.js project exists, basic routes are in, layout is taking shape.

Focus

  • Finishing basic frameworks for a meaningful life
  • Implementing those frameworks
  • Increasing quality of input, decreasing quantity

Projects

  • Polishing unreleased pages of the site, hoping to finish by June 1st.

Experiments

  • Digital minimalism -- limiting social media to 30 minutes per day
  • Cold exposure therapy -- daily cold showers and weekly ice baths

Watching

  • Girl, Interrupted (1999) -- rewatch
  • Sinners (2025)
  • Until Dawn (2025)

Reading

  • "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, analytical reading
  • "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup

Avoiding

  • Excessive news consumption and information overload
  • Commitments that do not align with core values
  • Reactive work that does not contribute to long-term goals
  • Environments and relationships that drain rather than energize
