Adsense. Not very smart, but it was paying the bills nicely and I was lazy enough to don't search others form of income.

I was a "Professional Blogger" for a while.

- [11:00] Wake up, sit on desk, first thing on the morning, write until I get tired

- [14:00] Usually I get tired 3 hours after, then I stop working, cook food for the day and procrastinate lots of things that I was planning to do in my free time in previous day, and thinking about how I would do 3-5x more money if I spent more time working on my blog, but I'm lazy / I want to work as less as possible to earn money to live and spent my time doing whatever I wanted to (which turned out to be nothing relevant)

- [21:00] Gym

- [00:00] Watch funny videos until sleep

- [02:00] Sleep.

In my case, gym.

Down in Brazil.

It's kinda like a new world of readings has opened to me.

My daily notes:

- Exercises I made today, with a few details (how it was going, why maybe I failed, why maybe that exercise was so easy).

- What I ate today and what made it good / how can I improve.

- Money spent, what made it good / how can I improve.

- How did I spent my free time (developed something, worked on a side project, what did I do, what could I've made).

- Random thoughts and ideas.

Instead of just put info there without detail, I try to "explain to myself" a little bit, helping myself when I check them later.

Funny how it helped me a lot when I got bored. Well, if I have nothing to do, maybe I might just check my own notes to see what I wanted to do days ago.

I honestly thought it was a joke about being old fashioned.

You can ignore them or live by their terms. That's absolutely your choice.

If you can't handle the pressure, do what they say. If you can (and I highly suggest you learn how to do it), keep doing whatever you're doing and ignore them. Smile and nod.

A little off topic, but why did you leave poker?

An old Acer which I didn't even care about specs. What's important to me:

- Works with LXDE, Sublime Text, Terminator and Chromium at same time without problems

- Doesn't run games very well

- Enough HD

That's it. Fast for work only. Unless I want to use some IDE or emulate some mobile, but that's not my case.

Funny thing is that here in Brazil this is EXTREMELY common, and people doesn't seem to care. Actually, people treat fake news as real here.

At right of "X minutes ago". It actually just performs a google search.

I listen to dozen of different guitarists. Jason Richardson and Jeff Loomis are my favorite now. Also, check the entire discography of Vinnie Moore.

I'm into retrowave lately. Perturbator and Dance with the Dead make my fingers start moving by their own.

2 years of gym and I never needed these powders to fill up my macros.

>sunday

>market, buy groceries, pasta and meat for whole week

>cook everything at once

>put everything on freezer

>clean up everything only once

Of course, I need to wash my dishes during week, but it takes literally 1 minute and half. And you can argue that there are powder to purposes other than macros, and I agree with you that you must take it if you think you need to. I, personally, don't.

It's like emmet all turned on CSS.

Shell made me a lot more agile to do various simple tasks which would take me time for repetition.

Learn a text editor deeply (Sublime) made me extremely faster than all my colleagues.

I, as an addicted to efficiency, found my job a lot funnier everytime I learn something that makes my common task less time consuming.

Funny how we're able to tell that twitter's down on twitter, but here in Brazil, when whatsapp was down, nobody could use their own whatsapp to ask or tell if whatsapp was down.

Here in Brazil things are pretty slow.

"Oh, maybe its our shitty ISP screwing up everything again."

No, it's in a bigger scale.

Do you mind if I translate it to PT-BR?

Read Cal Newport's https://www.amazon.com.br/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distract.... I didn't read the free ebook, but it seem another one based on this book.

Livestyle: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/emmet-livestyle/di...

A little buggy, but saves a lot of time while developing a new site.

Extremely nice to create procedural maps and other stuff. Really nice.

I'm craving for transparent background.

If you didn't take a look at stronglifts, you should give a try. Actually, it's only one of a few beginner strength training (most focused to powerlifting, but you can mix with BB if you want to) available out there. I started lifting with stronglifts, today I do greyskull LP.

Actually those "jokes" were made to try to prevent you from thinking about all this proccess.

This one, of course. Bookmarked.

Wordpress with some tweaks is fine. Also, joomla. Hidden unwanted menus, use a barebone theme, create some settings or custom posts types... That's it. Well, better than write it by my own. I Already made it, and after I changed to Wordpress, my simple small CMS sites were being developed 5x faster.

The ones from Scott Adams and Cal Newport.

Some shortcuts, as ⌘K⌘K, I prefer to simple do: shift + end, del. Same thing, same keystrokes, and works not only on sublime.

Not so related to the topic, but as I'm increasing my intimacy each day with terminal and I consider myself very fast using most of relevant shortcuts for frontend by sublime, does it worth to switch at once to vim or something terminal-based? What do you guys think?

About living alone: There's a huge difference between being alone because you want to, and being alone by lack of choice. At first time I lived alone in my hometown it feels marvelous. I can study, work or bring anyone I want to my home without nobody pissing me off about whatever I do. Nice. But I tried the same living in São Paulo and I felt absolutely depressed. Reason? Simple: Lack of company when I want to. At my hometown I could visit my brother and my friends whenever I wanted to. I can't say the same about São Paulo (800km far away). Then I learned the lesson and share my home since then. At the moment I live with 3 people, which feels nice and balanced. My own privacity, my silence, my space, plus people to talk to when I want to.
