    • was quiet but it still felt good to be 'back' :)
  • had coffee with my neighbours, it was great!
  • cleaned the house a bit
  • talked to my mum, I enjoyed it and it was great seeing her
  • started a new notebook (ha), this one is a square with a pixel grid -- a gift from the [[nintendo museum]] by [[mpd]]
  • share photos
  • run collect over notebooks and papers, this usually makes me feel better (I have a lot of context all around, putting it back in one place/pile usually helps manage it/consolidate)
  • [[december 2024 adventure]]
  • [[agora writing]]
  • had interesting conversations in the [[fediverse]] about:
    • [[ai]]
    • [[sustainability]]
    • leading to [[ilich]], who I still haven't read -- will try to set up his book in my [[kobo]] to read it tonight/soon
  • I read about [[recursively enumerable]] sets and languages -- I remembered these were some of my favorite back when I studied computer science when I was 27 or 28. This led me to read again about complexity classes, hierarchies and then [[diophantine]] sets :)
  • Also had a great time playing with [[Lady Burup]], and we even watched [[3blue1brown]] together! Pictures likely in the Fediverse :)

    • The efficiency trap - the more efficient you get, the more things you will fit into to do list, ultimately not gaining any time.
    • Productivity techniques are a way of facilitating avoidance of making hard choices.
      • By claiming you can get more efficient and fit more in, you can avoid having to decide what not to do.
    • Pay yourself first.
    • Keep three things in progress.
