Деньги или вклад?

Это интересный вопрос, которым я переодически задаюсь со своими знакомыми.

Вот ты вроде работаешь в какой-то интересной сфере, учишься, ведёшь какие-то свои блоги или просто рассказываешь людям про что-то и это всё супер круто и интересно. Но в тоже время ты же можешь делать какую-то крайнюю херню, которая никак не влияет на развитие технологий, людей и т.п. и зарабатывать 100х , но ты не будешь ничего привносить в этот мир.

Это как ответ на вопрос, в чём смысл жизни? Для каждого он свой, но для меня это пока что:

— Оставить что-то после себя и прожить весёлую жизнь.

Стоит сказать, что врачам на территории СНГ стоит отдать отдельные почести, работать за такие деньги это подвиг.

Четвёртая часть про продуктивность

Здесь мы будем отдыхать😊

Я долгое время учился чувствовать свой организм и свой уровень усталости. Снова приходим у тому, что нужно слушать себя и понимать когда нужно отдохнуть. Сейчас я пользую очень рискованным триком и работаю до момента, когда понимаю ещё немного и будет уже не весело. Т.е. условно я знаю, что после недели работы, учебы и подготовки к экзаменам я буду буду мертвый морально и физически и именно в этот момент нужно дать себе сутки отдыха, тогда всё будет хорошо и можно врываться в ещё одну неделю с новыми силами.

Вы заметили, что только 1 день, да?

Так вот в этом и состоит трик, если знать как работает твой организм и разум, можно сокращать время сна, отдыха, общения с людьми и чувствовать себя лучше, чем когда-либо.

Раньше я не понимал, что после сильного периода бота нужно отдохнуть сутки, просто ничего не поделать, поболтать с друзьями, пойти погулять. В итоге выгорал и отлетал на 2-3 дня, пропускал все дедлайны или делал их через очень большое услилие.

Сейчас я могу недельку жёстко ботать, потом день отдыхать и с каждой недели я выигрываю ещё 1 день продуктивной работы!

Есть ещё альтернативная раскладка, когда можно бить этот день отдыха на пару кусков по пару часов, это удобно когда есть много встреч с друзьями(меня болталки с людьми расслабляют).

Закончим ещё одной интересной темой. Я слышал про методику, когда стоит менять город раз в пару лет или же раз в пол года уезжать куда-то на недельку отдыхать, жду фидбек от вас в коментах, т.к. сам пока что не тестил.

Continuing about productivity and etc. Found this article really useful and simple, actually I’ve invented this method by myself cause just didn’t know about it. Now you can just read it and don’t spend years:)

I haven’t been active for last two weeks. Maybe too tired of things, maybe It caused of Russian “military” problems. Rather, it worked as a cumulative effect and and all I did was work and sleep, periodically watching some lectures and inst reels(It’s a trap, but I can’t maybe more honest don’t wanna quit it).
But now I’m trying to get my life to the previous condition and plan some stuff etc.

And day started with amazing video about: meditation, mental health, physical education, love of work, etc. It actually accumulates all my thoughts and the authors position intersects with mine a lot. Btw, I found this via Vanya’s channel :)

Report itself

Today, just left my work laptop in the office. It comes with decision to work only from office and separate my day schedule strongly. Interesting thing, that when u work on ur own projects and courses u don’t really keep track WHEN do u do it. But when you come to work with someone, when the performance of the team depends on your decisions and results, everything changes. You can’t just say, I don’t wanna work today, so there it comes: Everyday I come to office from 8 to 10 am. And moreover keep in mind, that ~8 hours of work + 5-6 hours of sleep + own study + entertainment to keep u in stable mental health and booom, the 24 hours ended.

That’s all for today. Actually, somewhere in the middle of writing this post I wanted to delete it, but let’s open this thought to discuss…

P.S. I know, that sometimes u have to overwork and there is some emergency situations. But today I knew, that I don’t need it at night.

I just surfed the Internet and came across the article "Import substitution for numpy, matlab etc.”. How can people even think about it? It’s just ridiculous. Sometimes I just think that science and “everything else” are just living in different world.

Open to discuss.

A few days ago I posted my video edit of CAOS lecture and inserted there a really simple silly joke about “paid education”. Didn’t mean anything offensive, but the head of the course commented this joke like unacceptable and inappropriate and rude. Then gave this video. I’ve watched it and came to decision that he has his point. And that’s true, men sometimes forget how offensive and rude their jokes could be.

Upd: decided to add one more video from this channel, cause it’s just related to first one.

Just found that all my cryptocurrencies were converted to USDT on August 30. Without any confirmations and email notifications. One more reason not to trust Binance (or any other stock exchange platform).

For some reasons I really wanted to start full time work this year and then decided to wait a bit, check for free time. And here we are, the second year of university is starting to ****. And the main idea is that it's getting more interesting and complicated with every hour. Idk if it was a good or bad idea not to work this year, but I enjoy the things as they are now. C++, ASM, C and a lot of interesting stuff which I wouldn't have learned if I worked.

Came to conclusion, that I've been working last 3-4 days listening to lives of RHCP, Deftones etc. And Idk why, but I'm finding lives more "performy" if I can say it. It's like being in cafe or in any crowded place but you can control how involved you are by changing video or adjusting volume.

I have 3 Yandex stations at home and sometimes I even use their functions like: timer, weather, time. And today I asked: "Alice set the timer for 3 minutes." and everything was alright, she answered: "Okay" as usual BUT. She continued with this: "Bla-bla-bla Yandex bulb, you can buy only for 10 rubles". Are you okay? I'm buying the product, I'm buying the subscription for its usage, and you insert in PAID product advertisement. Imho It's not normal.

It's time to talk more about software and devices that uses it. I have Sony WH1000-xm4 for more than 2 years now and this headphones are awesome, the battery life is great, the sound is clear, I can listen to different genres and adjust equalizer settings to make rap songs more bumpy and rock more clear and vibrant.
But there is one things, that they can't fix, in the Headphones app they have this "WORLD CHANGING FEATURE" simultaneously connected devices and it work great until you connect your headphones to a Macbook. Since that mac takes the headphones and doesn't give the permission to listen from other devices. Even when I don't use mac(sleeping mode). That's all.

Today's the Netflix show.
I've just finished Sex Education and I'm finding the 4th season incredibly good. The first seasons were more about sex and teens relationships, so it was interesting and funny to watch, especially because of I was a teen when It happened. The third season was boring and told nothing, for me It was the worst season that almost killed the movie for me.
And now the reason, why I am writing this article now, the 4th season. Yes, they continued to talk about sex and how it is important to know your partner and your body, but the main theme, the main idea of every episode was shifted to a deep psychology and a child-parent relationship. If we pull out all sex related stuff and leave everything else, the show still will be about important thing that we don't see in every day life. The problem of acceptance of gay people in a tradition church, the problem of being a good parent even when your life is ruined and you have to do a lot, the problem with self-pushing, being more than you yesterday and not understanding that you are just a human being and you can cry when you want.
I highly recommend you to watch it, if you want to understand the problems of nowadays society more. Also have to mention that the dressing is so colorful and unique that with each frame you can see something interesting and not usual. Taking all of the above together, the piece is worth your time.

Good. Shows what you have to sacrifice while achieving your goals.

I've already wrote some about Yandex.Ads and how it pissed me off. But Today I want to add something. Imagine you want to go to the cinema? so you want to buy tickets via Yandex.Afisha but before purchasing the tickets you want to check out movie trailer and HERE WE GO. They're showing 15 seconds adv before 1 minute trailer. Wtf...

I’m currently looking for a way to read books and choosing between kindle and ipad. So, I’m in book-geeks a bit now and found this:

“Try listening to an audiobook at 2.5x speed while reading the physical book or epub. It's game-changing. Better comprehension, better attention span, and easy to take notes. The main thing is, you can sit and read for hours without getting distracted.”

Preface
As a part of my new year’s goals list I want to start this every week posts in both of my channels(@lifes_notes @loopynerd) where I share with you some of interesting articles and videos that I’ve watched. Firstly I do it to stimulate the habit of writing, I really like to write something but sometimes just too tired or lazy for it. Then this is really cool to have all this stuff that I once upon a time read, so I can fast check on it if needed. And the last but not the least is the idea of giving something really interesting and helpful to others.

CS50 Lecture by Mark Zuckerberg — cool lecture, real good mixed some social and CS stuff. A lot of about early Facebook design, privacy, social connections and etc. Also in the end there is a part about challenging yourself that I’ve found the most interesting.

Well being as a hobby — shows an idea of being in good condition requires a lot of time. Helped me realize that it's good when you have all meetings, hobbies and habits arranged but don't forget about your life's hobbies.

How to Speak — Wow, the only word(not exactly) that I could say when finished. How clear and obvious he shows how to speak. Really must to watch thing if you want to deal with audience and public speeches in the future.

Self-development in tiny steps(RU) — how you can start achieving your best condition in any sphere by tiny small steps, without "I'll be a millionaire in 2 days".

I’m trying to get away from all “zoomers” habits and this two guys tell about motivation, discipline and meditation, found it useful.
Go outside | Meditate | Meditation 2

«Those who cannot read do not steal books, and those who can read are not thieves.»

The first 20 hours — how to learn anything. Good talk about studying something from the beginning and not being afraid of it. Don’t be afraid of asking stupid questions, don’t be afraid of being a little bit fool in the beginning of your journey.

As long as I remember myself I was not that kind of guy who gives an extra motivation vibes, trying to sell you something etc. And I also did not swallow all this fancy motivational stuff. But there are a short list of japanese videos that helps me sometimes to piece my thoughts toogether and keep pushing.

This is one on them.
