I want to discipline myself to be less depressive and use the internet less. I would like to read poetry more often and memorize more poems. I would like to eat and sleep better too.

I'll join in.
20 minutes of exercise each day for a week. Not intensive necessarily, but any amount of exercise. Just walking around if need be. Good luck to my fellow sushis with their goals.

I am pleased to report that on my fourth attempt I have succeeded, bar some slight straightening of the spine and a few stifled yawns. I am so sore. Even my face is sore. It sounds easy but it was intense. I will have to think about what I want to do next. I want to stretch my limits.

>>22368
All good goals, pick a couple and make them measurable/define what success looks like and go for it

>>22369
Also a good goal, even over a single week there's likely going to be a day where you don't feel like it so don't let up

damn just seeing vegeta motivates me to do stuff and i don't even remember dragon ball that much lol. did you post this thread on lainchan too? if so, you're the best op, keep it up.

this book (it's short), especially the diet part, helped me immensely. i'm not joking i actually have abs now after a year, but diet is really the most important part. i also heavily recommend buying a pair of rings if you can put them up somewhere for calistheniscs. it's going to work out pretty much every part of your body. all i did was 40~50 minutes a day 6 days a week doing both calisthenics and legs. it goes by very fast (i usually put on some stream in my room while working out) and you also don't have to buy a gym subscription this way. from the book i would say the only important chapters for me were diet, training and lifestyle. everything else is if you actually want to have a massive body like zyzz (but it's pretty unnatural imo like the keto diet)
good luck!

personally i need to seriously study japanese. i recently put it down again after getting to verb conjugation because i have too much stuff to study for exams, but by the end of this summer i want to be able to at least somewhat understand just very basic dialogue by ear, so i'm going to study hard every day and listen to as much stuff as possible.

this summer i will also practice C and perl more because it's a prerequisite for everything else i want to learn next. these exams pretty much halted everything i want to do, so next semester i will organize better. on that matter, these two weeks i need to do more exercises so that i pass as many exams as i can. i think it's all about the second kind of discipline for me.
good luck to everyone.

I think for round two I am going to commit to running a full circuit without stopping around the park near where I live. It's only 2.5 km but I am out of shape. Deadline is one week (Jun 4) because the weather's been bad.

go to bed before 11. I gotta stop saying up so late all the time it just makes me feel bad the next day.

>>22380
Do we sleep bad because we have nothing to look forward to the next day and fear what dawn will bring?

>>22383
It's like perpetually borrowing time from tomorrow. A vicious cycle of:
stay up too late → tired at work → drink too much caffeine → tired after work but also can't take a nap because caffeine → half-sleep while watching TV or browsing internet → start feeling better so stay up late again

painful but done

I've cut out youtube (except for music) and no longer use any chans, beside this place. I have read two books already and I am working on memorizing one poem.

For a good while I've been meaning to make stuff and go out and sell it. I have a few things in mind already, but I do have to get in the habit of doing them. And then get over the resistance of going out to sell them, which for some reason I can't seem to get myself to do.
I guess first of all I need to go sell those calabazas. Tomorrow is a good day to do so. I'm also supposed to see a friend tomorrow, too. I should take this chance to try that out.

I've been learning languages for a good number of years now, now I want to set down a sort of plan to keep learning the languages I've been learning and to add other languages to the mix.
I have to primary languages that I am studying, but there are a number of other languages in which I am interested. I also have a huge number of resources for each of these languages. My intention is to address all these threads and resources in a way that is manageable and doesn't become an overwhelming mess.
The plan is, then, to take a primary coursebook in each of these languages, to read it from start to finish, in order, one chapter per session, and to do all the exercises. This may not necessarily mean I will achieve mastery of all these languages, but I will at least have a structured understanding of them which is often enough for me to be able to claim some competence, or at least a sufficiently good acquaintance with these languages.
I will also keep a log of my learning progress online. I am not going to spam this thread with every update, which I will instead keep in a little blog I have opened elsewhere. If anyone is at all interested, I may post the url here, once I get writing the first few posts.
Soon I should give my first update, let's ganbatte together sushies!

Why don't you create a thread for this? Just in case there are other sushis studying the same languages who are looking for resources and stuff?

>>22393
Good luck! You might want to consider contributing to >>2058 in this case, otherwise you risk being lost in noise here.

What is your training routine? I am currently practising interval training with 15-45 min sessions because it's more fun for me that way. I am starting to feel like it's more about clocking in the km rather than about how it's being done. Am I doing something wrong?

This thread was abandoned not long after all these commitments were made, who could have possibly foreseen this outcome?
Anyway. In >>22393 I mentioned wanting to study a few languages by reading through their textbooks sequentially. So far, I've focused only one one language, while the others are kept on hold. This way I can ensure I do work through one text without stretching myself too thin. So far, progress has been consistent.
Now, having learned some amount of a couple differnt languages I stop and think to myself: what other things could I learn this way? I realize that if I had stuck to my intention of practicing with programming for the past 10 years, I would be a pro by now, well, at least, about as competent as I am right now with, say, Chinese (which is not to say a lot but still something at least).
Part of the reason I haven't stuck with programming is because of all the distractions, programming is a huge field and I've tried a lot of different topics inside it.
Still, as they say, the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the second best time is today. Given that I still have some mental bandwidth and intellectual curiosity, I can also start getting more serious with my study of programming, now that I also have a better idea of what it is that I really like. I also choose programming because it seems like it may be a useful skill to develop; on the other hand, I'm not even adjacent to the industry so I can hardly imagine myself getting any use of programming. In my own computer I barely do any of it. Perhaps that may change. And anyway, I would like to be able to make myself one of those "digital nomads" someday, and programming seems like the best way to make a living while on the move.
I have tried writing but just like with programming, I am not even sure I have anything to contribute whatsoever. I would like to make a writing about my language explorations, but I really don't know what I could write about. Does anyone here have any ideas of what kinds of things I could write, about my language learning mostly, but also the different topics I'm interested in, so that it is interesting for people to read?
Thank you for taking your time to read this sushi. Hope you do well in your own projects and goals.

I have made strides in my work. Internet consumption is not down though and I've only memorized two poems. So promising, but not there yet. My language skills have improved a lot though. I'm getting a lot better, but I'm struggling with how much I have to manage.

>This thread was abandoned not long after all these commitments were made
I'm guessing NEETs struggle with scheduling stuff and managing time effectively. I understand the programming problem. I've been there too. Its such a huge field and its hard to make sense of it and stick to it.
