+# Stopping the Domino Effect
+
+Well, I think it is the first time I am starting something without a burst of motivation or
+inspiration out of nowhere. This is day 1 of hopefully what will be a series of notes, posts,
+whatever it ends up being public or not, that you can call a daily journal or blog. I wouldn't
+expect too much to be honest, just writing some concepts or thoughts in something more structured
+like a blog post sometimes helps you to better understand yourself and what you're doing with your
+life, I think.
+
+I have to give some credits also to [Hunter Peterson](https://youtube.com/@hitherehunter), which
+recently started making [daily vlogs of his process of creating a
+movie](https://youtu.be/playlist?list=PLVYMHH4699p41aT8YyEztfExj1iXJtkqO), and it inspired me to
+make this. Not only that, but I actually tried recording a video blog of my own, which for me is
+kinda difficult and/or consumes a lot of time of my day. So this is the "minimal viable product or
+way" to do something daily.
+
+-----
+
+This is being written after what is probably two months of pure... nothing, mostly. Two months ago,
+I was coding a project which I thought would last no more than a week or so - at least the minimal
+viable product wouldn't take that long, right? - And there I was after a month of working from
+probably what as from 8am to 8pm daily, in a project which was losing its meaning and purpose. *And
+if you're a developer and are wondering what project it was, [ **it was a fucking ESLint config\
+package**,](https://github.com/LoredDev/ESLegant) with some CLI for automatically detecting what
+configs to apply.* Because of it, I ended up having what I would call a burnout.
+
+I didn't want to write any code for some time, I wasn't able to correctly think of solutions to
+problems and was just tired of coding every day without doing anything more. So I gave myself a week
+of resting - *yes, I know that it is a lot of time to rest, but at the time of writing, I am
+self-employed, or at least I was trying to be and balancing work, life, health, etc. is a lot more
+difficult than I thought.* - And then the domino effect started.
+
+## The First Domino Piece
+
+> For context: In a week, I'm going to be 19 years old at the time of writing, and finished
+> school/college last year. This year I tried to go a self-employed route with creating apps and
+> open-source projects, it didn't work so much.
+
+I have anxiety and insecurity, and even not being at a high level and going to therapy on a somewhat
+consistent rate, it still affects my life on a significant level. And is a lot harder to rest when
+your mind simply does not stop thinking about things and worrying yourself.
+
+In said week of resting, I started to think and worry a lot about my future. Things such as: It is
+almost ending the year, and you made nothing and not a single dollar; you're consuming your parents'
+money, they already spent a lot of time and money in you; You need to start doing something to be
+able to have an apartment soon; Your girlfriend soon also leaves school, you need to have a house
+until then; If you don't have any finished projects, how you will find a job? You don't have a
+degree; **You need to start doing something\!**
+
+I don't have to say that it is kinda hard to actually rest in this situation. And unfortunately it
+also affected my girlfriend was trying to help me how she could to make me worry less and be able to
+rest. With that one week ended up being two, three weeks without returning to my normal routine.
+Thankfully, I wasn't having anxiety or insecurity attacks anymore, but was still felling somewhat
+tired and having excuses or simply being unable to work after such days. And with our dating
+anniversary coming, I had to make something special to thank her, so another week passed.
+
+## Being Lost and the Illusion of Being Comfortable
+
+So what was I doing instead in this period? To be honest with you, it's not easy to answer this.
+Normally I note everything that is done daily, but in these days Obisdian (my note-taking app)
+wasn't even opened. I was trying to draw sometimes, without a lot of success; Creating some
+resourcepacks and modpacks to use in Minecraft; Seeing a lot of videos daily, at the point that I
+re-watched some of them; And probably just playing video games or trying to. And even if it was just
+it, I wouldn't be so bad about it, most of them are hobbies that I like to do, but being clear with
+myself, I was most of the time actually tinkering with configs or trying to find something to do.
+Instead of drawing I was trying to fix my tablet compatibility with linux; Instead of playing
+Minecraft and creating art, I was creating things that I ended up not using; Instead of watching
+some new videos, I was re-watching old ones trying to find something interesting; Instead of playing
+video games and making progress, I was playing everything in "creative mode" without any actual
+creative mode; I was tinkering to make a game work in linux, and ended up never playing it.
+
+Seeing now, I was lost and trying to find some type of purpose or something to create.
+
+And the worst part, it wasn't obvious, for me, I was resting. I knew that I needed to do something
+soon, but wasn't actually pushing myself to do something, and why be so hard on myself, I was at
+least creating other more creative things, right? Having an illusion of being comfortable is not
+good when you look in retrospect.
+
+## Trying to Break the Domino Line
+
+After what was probably six or seven weeks, a similar anxiety and a feeling of "enough" started to
+happen. It is difficult to explain, but in the same way I started to feel tired of working on that
+ESLint config project, I started to have now related to this comfortable state. While I was always
+thinking that I needed to return to a routine, now every day I had the actual feeling of not knowing
+what to do and of not being able to start something.
+
+As the days came closer to today, I started to do things to be outside this comfortable zone. With
+the influence of some videos, I had the idea of reinstalling my OS, wipe everything in my computer
+and start creating a workspace made for myself and myself only. If you know Linux and/or
+programming, you probably will know better what I'm talking about on this section. I started to use
+a tiling window manager (Hyprland), started to configure Neovim and Tmux to be more productive, and
+started to create a small system in bash which can switch what type of workspace, theme, etc. my OS
+is in with just a command in the terminal.
+
+But it wasn't enough, because this motivation to create a workspace also started to burn somewhat
+easily, and I didn't have organized or listed what I wanted in this workspace. And I started to
+tinkering with my home server, again just trying to find something to do, but without success on
+what I was trying to tinker the workspace returned to be my focus.
+
+But some domino pieces still were falling, like: not knowing what I wanted in Neovim; banging my
+head because of a misspelled letter in the configuration files; my girlfriend being sick, so I
+wanted to spend more time and attention with her; losing part of said files because I still don't
+know how to use Git correctly; Being "tired" and ending up having a small addiction in some games;
+And, even when I was going to write this post, I spelled my coffee over the table, which I almost
+ended up screaming of stress because of this "trigger".
+
+## Not Knowing if the Line Will Break
+
+As you can see by the last section and this tittle, I'm not yet in the best of myself. The reason I
+started got my laptop out of nowhere to go on my house courtyard and wrote this post was because I
+needed somewhere to reflect on myself. I can't promise that it will continue, but this remembered me
+how good it is to write and tell a story, so I will try.
+
+The future to me is still unclear, but probably finding a job would be good to me, having something
+that can force me to do something daily could help when I need to return to a routine. *And have
+actual money at the end of the month would be excellent y'know.* Finding communities would also
+improve reaching this goal, knowing how my job market is these years after the pandemic, networking
+can boost a lot, *and having friends and people which I can actually discuss programming would be
+great.*
+
+I have to admit that finding an actual job wasn't in my plans so earlier, but self-employment is not
+working now days, and I can always try again in the future. I'm finally thinking what can be my
+objective in life to drive me to the future and help me focus every day, but that is probably a talk
+for tomorrow.
+
+Like I said in a post some weeks ago, sometimes you don't need to return with an explosion behind
+you and sunglasses. Small pieces can affect a lot with enough time, for good or for bad. And
+hopefully, I'm placing good pieces now.
+
+> **Today's Artists & Creative Things**
+> 
+> This is stolen from Hunter's vlogs, where he shares a book or album/music for the day, and it is
+> cool, so why not?
+> 
+> **Music:** *Instead of an album, I think it's best to recommend the artists itself today*
+> [**Scatolove**](https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCRrcJVynB_ahge0NwWfdJkQ).
+> 
+> They are a Brazilian couple which my girlfriend recently recommended and I cannot stop listening.
+> I can't easily explain what music style they have, for me, it is sweet but also goes very hard in
+> a lot of songs, it is unique but also similar enough to the music styles that I like, which is: if
+> there's an electric guitar solo, I like it. My favorites of their songs would be:
+> [*Rapunzel*](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=BFsw09XyTzQ), the guitar at 0:30 really got me the
+> first time I listened to it; [*Inbox*](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=zXolFH2Cyfs4) and
+> [*Terminal*](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=iQKmY6IaL4Y), both because they remember me and my
+> girlfriend together, primarily Inbox is a favorite because of how hard it goes and feels.

+on a daily basis was related to that dream? Would you be someone different, or even someone you
+actually want to be, if you had followed said dream on a daily basis?
+
+## Being Lost
+
+Last entry I talked about the history of how I'm trying to return to some type of routine and be
+able to complete my tasks. And one of my difficulties about that is figuring it out what to do on a
+daily basis.
+
+Before the burnout, I was just going with some sort of "flow". Every start of a week, I organized
+from one to two tasks related to my work/programming for each week's day. The tasks were related to
+the month's project that I wanted to finish, and it was working, but I don't know if it would scale.
+Some of the reasons of the burnout was because I wanted to finish at least a minimal viable product
+of the project each month, but one of the problems of programming is that you can't easily guess the
+time and how difficult a task can be.
+
+I don't know what I want to do daily yet. Even if most of my work is programming, I still have other
+projects and ideas related to world building, drawing, video creation, etc. And is hard to know how
+having a formal job will affect everything also. To be honest, I'm scared of losing the interests
+and creativity that I once had.
+
+## A Child's Dream
+
+When I was around fourteen years old (which is not that long ago), I really dived deep myself on the
+idea of creating a company. Did I know how companies actually worked? No, in no way shape or form.
+The only thing I knew was that I wanted to create a company called "A Capital" because the name
+touched me somehow, it represented and would represent everything that I wanted to create.
+
+Because of it I learned how to design logos and how to use Adobe Illustrator, because this company
+would have other names and brands under its umbrella and I wanted to each name has it own unique
+logo; I learned how to use Photoshop for creating banners and profile pictures; I learned after
+effects for creating motion graphics and animations for said logos; One of my friends wanted to
+create a YouTube channel for creating histories, and I adopted it under the "A Capital Creators"
+umbrella, helped him on editing videos, creating trailers, etc.
+
+And even my current profession started because I wanted to create "A Capital Games", and because of
+it my parents brought a game development course and Game Maker Studio. This course not only taught
+me how to use game engines, but also how to create your own in Java first (I unfortunately never
+finished the entire course, but I still learned a lot). My current area, web development, I started
+with free courses because I wanted to create real websites for this company.
+
+Every single thing of what I am today, is because of "A Capital" in some way.
+
+## A Silly Company
+
+"But what happened to that dream?" I started to view it as how it was said, a child's dream. As I
+grew up, - and just to be clear, I'm still young, but sometimes just four to five years can really
+change you, even more when it is your teenagers years - the idea of a global company, with art,
+games, software, etc. started to feel as silly, even more when it would have just one person in said
+company for the most part. *How a company with more brands than people can be serious?*
+
+There are parts of this dream which are still visible in my life. If you ever opened viewed my
+GitHub profile, I have a GitHub organization called "Lored", which was some type of sister brand for
+"A Capital Code", but related more to developers than end-user application and software. And all my
+current branding scheme, with Guz013, Guz's Codes, Guz's Art, etc. is pretty much the same idea, but
+more personal and related to me as a person, because this seemed less shameful.
+
+However, the name itself, the idea of something bigger than myself, it was pretty much lost. And the
+thought of creating something to build up over time faded from my mind.
+
+## Today's Dream
+
+As you probably already guessed, I want to rekindle this dream. But being more honest with myself on
+what this dream means and is to me.
+
+I want to have primarily a brand, not a company, this dream for me is more about the name and not on
+how it works on the "real world". My object is to create a name that me, and people, can recognize
+as something which represents quality, good histories, products, software, art, games, whatever
+creation ends up being placed under it. This name is "Capytal", and all other names and brands which
+will be created under its umbrella, "SixSides", "Prata Productions", "Lored", "Elementria",
+whatever. *To be honest, my anxious mind is already worrying about if listing them here can screw me
+up in the future with things such as domains and trademark registering, but fuck off. "Capytal" is
+already a name which a lot of investment companies use, so I know that I'm already fucked up.*
+
+Will I succeed? Being realistic, probably not, but I need to have a goal in life. And I don't know,
+maybe one day my dreams of speaking in a conference about a new product come to reality and this
+entry will be read in some type of 10 years anniversary of the company. But if not, at least I
+tried.
+
+*And don't worry, I don't plan on being another straight white guy which wants to be rich easily
+and/or have an evil company like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. I already hate them, and the
+world is dystopian enough already.*
+
+I just want to create something to be proud of.

+
+# Ups and Downs
+
+Today's entry probably will be a little different, because I didn't want to make it. Yesterday's
+night occurred, something that made me have what I can say was a panic or anxiety attack. I cannot
+and don't want to tell what was here because these entries are public, and what happened was very
+personal and sensible.
+
+I waked up still somewhat worried and in general not in a good mood, even more compared to the past
+days. But I don't want to reset the days counter here and in my life in general, I'm tired of having
+downs which breaks my routines and days. Even if in the past days, I'm still doing most of the tasks
+somewhat half-done instead of committing hardly and better, I didn't stop or wasted up every single
+hour of the day as I was doing before.
+
+There wasn't a theme for this entry in my mind before, and now I don't know even more on what to
+talk about. Not always I will be able to write here as I wanted, but at least a paragraph or two
+will not hurt.
+
+Thankfully, I'm already better and will try to make something productive today. Wait for tomorrow
+won't help today.

+
+# The factory must grow
+
+I'm addicted to [Factorio](https://factorio.com), all the times I played it, the sense of time was
+completely lost to me. It is so addictive to see your factory grow over time, see each production
+line filling belts, see your research tree being completed. And yesterday, when I ended up being
+awake until 1 a.m. - *and just went to bed because I started to search for mods to speed up the game
+time because I'm still in a "starter base" and ended up being a little frustrated that my resources
+were ending and my production slowing down and stalling the research tree* - I ended up making an
+analogy which is what I thought could be the theme for today. This can end up felling very "gen z
+coach like", but whatever.
+
+## Playing creative mode
+
+I never played Factorio in survival mode, the intended way to play it. "Why?" Because I didn't want
+to be through the grind and consume hours of my day in the slow passed gameplay of gathering
+resources, waiting to craft an item, walk slowly on the map to build a train line, etc. I always
+thought that just designing the factory itself would be more fun, "why pass all that when I can just
+install a mod and play with cheats? It's more fun to make a giant factory with perfect resource
+consumption and production\!". Playing this way was cool and all, I always tried to make the most
+exaggerated production lines, train networks, furnace arrays, decorating and aligning everything, so
+in the map it always looked like a giant computer with so many parts.
+
+But for some reason, I never stuck to a base, I never played for hours without feeling bored at some
+point. Most of the time, all the resource productions were in a brute force way, never actually
+planning and calculating how many items I needed or consumed. I tried installing modpacks which
+added more and more things, more resources, processing steps, etc., but it never fixed the problem
+for me. "I liked building in creative mode in [Minecraft](https://minecraft.net) for years, why here
+would be different? It's just like when I'm trying to build Redstone contraptions or giant builds,
+no?". Because of it, I always stopped playing and had months length intervals of never opening the
+game.
+
+## Playing survival mode
+
+Game design and development is something which really interest me, even knowing that now days I
+probably wouldn't develop any game, the programming for it is so out there compared to web
+development that I would need to re-watch all the video courses that introduced me to programming in
+general in the first place. But I still watch video essays, commentaries, devlogs about game dev and
+design from time to time, and one of the things that you always see around them is "designed
+progression", or how games show your progress to make you have fun and see how you're improving your
+skills and powers. This is even one of the reasons that I was convinced to play
+[ULTRAKILL](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/) in the first place, because the
+flow of the game was so addicting and even being difficult, you see easily how you improve your
+movement, try different things, adapt and improvise in unexpected situations, etc. And knowing by
+the title of this section and this paragraph, you already know where this is going.
+
+I tried to play Factorio in the intended way, started a new save called "RealFactorio", default
+settings, survival, with just Quality Of Life mods to add and fix some features which the developers
+already plans to do in the 2.0 version. And now I addicted to it, and I just played for some hours
+in the past three to four days, I pretty much end every day wanting to play at least a little, one
+hour or so, to progress my base. It all a spaguetti base, but from somewhere I heard, if you call it
+your "starter base", you can't be judged for it being ugly or poor planned. So here is my started
+base:
+
+\-- image --
+
+I'm addicted to seeing those belts fill up with science packs after creating a clumsy section just
+to be able to have the next shining new thing in the research tree. Even if it doesn't produce in
+big scale, even if most of the belts are empty because I didn't calculate enough resources and
+production time, even when I already died five times killing enemies to be able to expand the base
+in the future. It is ✨satisfactory✨, *wait... [that's another
+game](https://www.satisfactorygame.com/).*
+
+"But why?" Well, it is kinda obvious seeing now. Seeing your progression after you actually battled
+and put energy into something is rewarding, it gives you dopamine, and all that talk you already
+know, *yadda yadda...* However, for me what more is interesting is the difference on how a game like
+Minecraft, which for me, can be fun in both creative or survival, while Factorio can't. And I think
+it can be explained in the difference of two words' meaning for me: "creative" and "design".
+
+**Creative:** this would be the process or joy of creating something itself, expressing what you
+like, artwork in general. Personally, this is where something like Minecraft in creative mode,
+creating pixelart in Factorio - which I'm wasn't making - drawing a doddle in your notebook, etc.
+would be.
+
+**Design:** this would be when you are creating something with a defined purpose or goal, trying to
+create something with some sort of pattern or thought behind. Where something like Minecraft
+survival, Factorio, drawing a new character, logo design, etc. would fall on. This also include the
+process of adapting a work to fit a limit or trying to create something efficiently. Yes, there's
+creativity in this process, but the overhaul picture is bigger than one work itself.
+
+And my problem was that I was trying to be creative when I should be designing more. Admiring after
+how all that work and planning paid off when I saw my factory working with the limited resources it
+had. Because of this that I found joy on playing the game. That's even why I like to play Minecraft
+survival, because is both of them at the same time, you need to design farms and collect resources
+if you want to make your building to express yourself and be creative after.
+
+## The \[obvious and convoluted\] analogy
+
+> I have to admit that at this point of writing, the point of this entry made some many turns that I
+> don't even want to rewrite any part of it. It already passed some hours since the start and I need
+> to do something productive today yet. And to be honest, this entire post is just me trying to
+> excuse the hours I spent on the game really.
+
+You probably already heard of that talk about "gamifying your life", and I won't repeat it again
+here. I'm still learned and probably will add things like a progress bar to see how many tasks I've
+done one day, small things like that which helps you see your progress daily. And knowing my taste
+of games and how seeing a progress bar getting to 100% is somewhat satisfying to me, hopefully it
+would help.
+
+What I want to talk about is on designing your life, and even more, trying to see what pieces to
+improve, what production line needs more resources and thought on. The same way it is good to break
+everything into small digestible pieces, if you never stop to see the bigger picture, you never end
+up seeing your whole progress and how much your factory has grown.
+
+And the other thing to remember is that unfortunately, real life doesn't have a creative mode for
+most of the time ~and for most of the people~, so resources are limited, and you don't have infinite
+energy, but would it be fun if it had?

+---
+
+# I don't know how to feel tired
+
+> This is probably the weirdest title and uninteresting until now. I'm running out of ideas, ok? It
+> is harder than I thought to have general ideas and themes for each day. And it doesn't help that a
+> lot of themes would be something more aided to [@guzscode](https://www.tumblr.com/guzscode) than
+> here.
+
+Yesterday at the end of the day I felt something weird. I had just returned from the gym and eating
+lunch, and was preparing to go to bed. And then just in the time from getting out of my computer,
+brushing teeth, and getting on my bed, I started to feel insecure and in a bad mood in general.
+
+## Not knowing when to rest
+
+For most of my life, which to be honest is not that must time knowing my age, I never felt a big
+necessity to rest myself, outside of sleeping on the night, I never had a nap during the evening or
+something like that, neither just laying out in bed without sleeping in general. (*yes, "never
+resting" is a strong statement, of course I rested after something like gym class on school, and
+here and there I slept in the evening when I was younger and/or was exhausted or sick, but I'm
+talking in general.*) During school, very rarely I did something like resting my head in the table
+or something like that, probably just slept in class one time when I was a child.
+
+"Why?" Being sincere I don't know, but probably I never knew when I was feeling tired, even when my
+body was heavier and my mind wasn't able to process thoughts correctly, I didn't connect it to
+tiredness. I just continued my day the way I felted, going slow without forcing more than I could.
+Because of it, I didn't know also how to rest for most of my life. Never thought of something like
+"Maybe I should just lay on bed a little", or in school "I'm already done the work, maybe I could
+just rest my shoulders on the table".
+
+## Trying to learn
+
+When high school - *or whatever is the correct translation* - started, my "sense of tiredness"
+started to build more. During the lockdown, with all the stress of online classes and my anxiety
+building more than ever, while trying to build something to my future learning programming, logo
+design, and all of that related to my past projects. The end of the day was exhausting to me, even
+in the days I procrastinated, because of the burning out of energy over time and the sense of not
+being productive flooded my mind.
+
+Then lockdown was over, and I needed to go to school every evening now, in the start I was having
+anxiety attacks\[?\] - *my chest always felt like it was being pushed against constantly, I had the
+sense of wanting to throw up, and also needed to consciously remember to breathe* - in the public
+bus to the way of it, something which obviously consumed my energy. And my friends started noticing
+that, even more my girlfriend which I just started dating some months before the lockdown was over,
+because of that I started to finally connect that feeling of having the body heavier to tiredness.
+
+## A non-stopping mind
+
+Now knowing that what I was feeling, I needed to rest, but there's a small problem: anxiety.
+
+Every time I wanted to rest, my mind didn't, which just were even worse when some type of insecurity
+attacked, and I started to fell unproductive or that I was wasting time resting and needed to push
+on. The only time I could "rest" in some way, was when I was watching videos or distracting myself
+in some way - *but because of it, I distracted so much, that some days I ended up procrastinating
+the entirety of it; ~Which I did today as the time of writing, because during lunch my laptop ran
+out of battery and I started feeling tired and now this and the last paragraph have a 4 hours gap on
+the time they were written~* - and wasn't able to take a nap or even just lay on bed to rest by
+myself.
+
+## I still don't know, but I'm trying
+
+Probably the last paragraph ended up being sounding more frustrating than normal, and being honest
+it was, because I still don't know how or when to rest easily. Sometimes I'm able to fully recover
+my energies, other times I'm still feel tired after laying on my bed, and sometimes I am able to
+rest, but end up actually wasting time with it.
+
+Thankfully, I have someone who really helps with this part of my life, which is my girlfriend.
+Because of her I am able to lay in bed and just thinking about being hugged with her really helps
+clear my mind, and when I'm actually with her, any other problems or anxiety goes away. But I don't
+want to be dependent on her, she also needs to rest herself after school, and taking care of me can
+be bad depending on the day, I don't want to exhaust her. The good news is that even just hugging a
+pillow and thinking of her does the job really well most of the time, and I also can rest with other
+things, even while working sometimes I can rest depending on what I'm doing and if it's enjoyable.
+Something which helped was how in these past months, or years, my anxiety and insecurity is getting
+better and lowering down, so the day in general is not too much exhausting as before.
+
+-----
+
+Unfortunately, I don't know how to end up this entry, because I still don't have a solution to this
+problem. In the past years it got better, but there's now a definitive solution to me yet, and
+something like "just have a boyfriend/girlfriend/s.o./someone to hug" is not the best answer. I have
+to say that feeling tired and be able to rest is still a problem to me, and the only visible thing
+that I did and helped was trying to solve other problems like my anxiety and the constant feeling of
+being unproductive all the time.
+
+That's probably not the best entry, but whatever, I have to admit that even procrastinating today,
+I'm tired.

+
+# A Lonely Birthday
+
+Today's is my birthday\! And I'm lonely, as always. *Ok, not totally, but I'm still started the day
+with an insecurity attack.*
+
+I pretty sure that most of the people will recognize this type of history and connect themselves,
+because this not rare to see in today's world and our generations. It can depend on how much you
+care about dates like your birthday.
+
+## The Child Protagonist
+
+In my childhood, I liked my birthday and commemorating it with my parents and the rest of my family,
+cousins, uncles, etc. I was the protagonist and received a lot of presents, some of them were
+exciting, others not so much, but there was candy, and cake, and people to play with, even when I
+was introverted and didn't like too much to really play and run around so much. My school friends
+visited me and came home, which was really fun because I just saw them on school and never visited
+them on their homes - "why?", probably anxiety did exist back then also.
+
+Then you probably already know where it is going, but I entered my teenage years, birthday started
+to feel silly and childish. I don't want people singing "happy birthday" to me and having a
+decorated cake like a child, I want to get out with my friends and go somewhere, be an adolescent.
+But there was a problem, I didn't have any actual friends, and just independence in general to do
+that, because of overprotecting parents, but mostly because of a social anxiety that started
+building up as the years passed.
+
+## But I Had Friends, I Just Couldn't See Them
+
+On the end of school, and start of high school - which here in Brazil you probably will be around 13
+to 14 years old - all of my friendships were gone. The problem of being a gifted kid in school, is
+that you pass the classes, but your friends don't most of the time, and good luck when the turns
+shift, and now you can't see them on the interval, which happened to me. The only good news was that
+in the new class, there were my classmates from childhood, but I didn't speak to them for years, and
+now they were completely different people, and I was introverted and couldn't start a conversation
+easily.
+
+Because of all of that, I started to have online friendships, most of them from games that I played
+and created teams and group chats, etc. Which to be honest, most of them I wouldn't call friendship
+today, but back them they were. But because of the distant, and all of us being young teenagers
+without any way to see each other, I started to have no one on my birthday. The only persons that
+were there were my parents, which went with me to pizzerias, brought cake to eat at home, and I love
+them for it, but they are my parents, I can't really speak with them like my friends/people with my
+age and "they did because pthey want to be good parents" y'know? And again, going with parents made
+me feel like a child.
+
+Then the Covid-19 happened, and with the lockdown, and school being over and now high school
+starting at distance at a new school. The only people I had were my online friends, which most of
+them today I don't have more contact with. During the lockdown I would say that I changed a lot, and
+one of the things was who I defined as a friend, but also my social skills just were fucked up. And
+obviously, now I didn't have anyone to be with, something which I just started to accept to be
+honest.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+I don't want to tell all my life history of the last few years, but in resume, I started to go to
+therapy after lockdown and made at least one friend in school, someone which pretty much adopted me
+as a friend, and I'm very thankful for having them in my life. My online friendship shrunk because I
+wanted to value myself and make "friend" be a strong word for me, and being honest, I hadn't the
+best mindset during Covid-19 in general. Started a long distance relationship with who is now my
+girlfriend that I love more than anything in my life.
+
+But I'm still without anyone to be on my birthday today, my friend works and I would feel strange
+with just two persons today to be honest, my girlfriend unfortunately can't visit me yet and vice
+versa, same for my other online friend. So now I'm here writing this entry, because I had an idea
+for today: I want to be alone today.
+
+## A Lonely Birthday
+
+> This is probably the part where it less representable to other people
+
+I never had an actual time alone by myself and my own mind. Even not having a lot of friends, my
+parents always seen me in my bedroom on the computer and had little talks, in high school I always
+had people around interacting with me in some form, and when you have online friends, most of the
+time you can always go in chat and talk to someone or have a message to you that you didn't read
+yet. So today I want to be actually alone by myself and enjoy and see how me and my mind come along.
+
+This is probably strange seeing how I valued company on my birthday, and to be honest, I still do,
+just today I had an insecurity attack because of it and my girlfriend helped me be okay in the end.
+But I think I need this for myself and, mostly, to go outside home by myself and just enjoy seeing
+people, stores, the city living, and "test" my social anxiety and if I actually improved something
+related to it. I can't change and force people to be my friends and/or give attention to me today,
+the only thing I can actually change is myself, so why not enjoy it?
+
+Am I anxious of going outside? Fucking yes, but I need to try and accept my reality sometimes and
+just flow with it. Do I want this in all my future birthdays? No, and even today I want to pass the
+time with my girlfriend a little more. But why not try something different sometimes, y'know? And
+why not when the day is yours - *and the millions of other people who also were born the same day
+you did. ~You are not that special.~*

+# A Normal Sunday
+
+Today was a normal day, nothing more, nothing less for a Sunday. I just procrastinated to be honest,
+but sometimes it happens, and I can go back in time. To be honest, I don't want to go back, because
+it's ok to just go with the flow of the day.
+
+I got up from bed late, because the raining outside and the cold air of the room made a very cozy
+morning. I passed some time with my girlfriend, fixed our Minecraft server and played a little with
+her, writing a book for a library that we have in the world. Watched some videos. And now I'm here,
+writing this entry because I don't want to break the chain and maybe to remind anyone who ends up
+seeing it, that sometimes it is okay to just rest and let your mind on autopilot.
+
+It is Sunday, and tomorrow there's work and the actual start of the week, so there's time.
+
+> And yesterday I have to admit I didn't end up too alone compared to what I thought, because I
+> ended up chatting with my girlfriend a lot more than I planned. But the objective was completed I
+> would say, and the day was overhaul great, it was something different, and that was what I wanted.

+# Having an \[small\] Objective in Life
+
+> "Continuation" of [Day 2](https://guz.one/2)'s topic.
+
+It has been one week of writing these daily blog posts, look at me, finally being consistent in
+something in life\! If I could at least repeat the same thing in other parts of my life, it would be
+great\! But apparently having an eight hours night of sleep AND waking up early to have enough
+energy and time in the day is quite harder than I thought.
+
+> I have to admit that a lot of things that I write in these daily blogs are attempts to put these
+> ideas back into my mind, because everybody knows that giving advice is a lot easier than following
+> them. And very often we end up being hypocrites to ourselves, so just as a note, read everything
+> with a grain of salt knowing that even I can't follow what I write here.
+
+Remember when I talked about having a dream in Day 2? About my dream of creating a brand called
+"Capytal"? I have to admit that it was a lot easier to feel inspired about having a dream, than
+putting work in it. Since then, I feel like nothing about it has been done, no new projects, new
+ideas, new routines, etc. I'm still lost without following something to do daily.
+
+## Being Lost \[daily\]
+
+Some days ago, or weeks to be honest, I started to accept the idea that I need a \[actual\] job,
+because: life, capitalism, experience, yadda yadda. This year's theme for me was "concretizar" (in
+English, "concretize", in the sense of "I needed to concretize what I wanted to do in my life"), and
+even not knowing exactly what I want to do, I know now that software and programming is one of the
+things I want to work with, so I need to find a job as a junior developer, hopefully. And if you
+aren't from this market or developer community in general, let's just say that finding a job after
+the layoffs in the end of the lockdown is not easy, apparently.
+
+So now I need to actually prove that I know programming and web development at least. And I had a
+plan: "I will make that free C (a low-level programming language) Harvard's course, and also other
+free courses that I can buy the certificate in the end. That will show that I don't know just a
+framework or language, but actual programming logic" - without counting the attempts of creating
+open-source projects to put in a portfolio. But then I entered up in the Harvard University site
+and... where the hell is that course? There are some tech-related courses, but none about
+programming itself anymore.
+
+And I have to admit, because of this change, Mandela Effect, or whatever you want to call it, I
+completely loose what I wanted to do. I wanted to base each day on one lesson, but now there are any
+lessons, so what I do? There are YouTube videos about learning C, but most of them are hours long or
+minutes long, like, or you learn too little, or too much, y'know? And how the fuck will I know how
+to learn something that I don't know? And I already know programming logic, I want to learn the
+language itself.
+
+With this all, I'm started, I'm still, lost. I have something in mind that "I want to learn more,
+and I want a job", but they are just thoughts, and I can resume everything or plan how to achieve
+them. I have an objective for my life, but now for today.
+
+## A Silly Attempt
+
+Through this year, I had a theme, but having a theme for an entire year seems too much. Something
+that I somewhat learned this year is that a lot of things can happen in 3–4 months, plans and
+ideas can change, and predicted time on doing something can also. Not always you can follow your
+theme easily, and sometimes you need to focus on another part of your life.
+
+> I recognize now that to make a post about "themes" in the future, but the idea is best explained
+> in [this video by CGP Grey](https://youtu.be/NVGuFdX5guE), it where I was introduced to and
+> adopted the idea.
+
+So now I want to break more, make a theme for every season, or more precise, every quarter of the
+year - *which coincidentally also aligns to the industry's calendar apparently? I don't know or care
+to be honest* - and this is something that I can also easily automate in my note-taking app, so
+every daily note has the theme listed to help me remember it. But it isn't enough to be honest,
+because it also is an objective or idea that is not related to my daily problems.
+
+## \[Hey, This is\] Today's Objective
+
+Something that I noticed remembering now about the days that I was more productive is: the least I
+need to think on what to do today, the better I work. This is even one of the reasons that I choose
+[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) as my note-taking app, because I can have the longevity of plain
+markdown, with the automation provided by its plugin ecosystem, but I think that even with the
+automation that I already have, it isn't enough.
+
+The way I worked was that, during Sunday, before each week started, I created a weekly note to plan
+each task to each day. And that workflow was great, but there were two main problems seeing now: I
+don't want to think about work during a weekend, planning what task to do is not the best; A lot of
+times I didn't list enough tasks in a project, and then there wasn't enough things to fill the week.
+There was also the problem of I don't being able to have a routine sometimes, but I feel like a lot
+of times it happened because the chain breaks when there's not enough things to fill the routine. So
+I need more things to easily list things to do daily, more importantly, be able to also change tasks
+when I need, because some days shits happen, and I can't do something specific.
+
+In the end, I need to always have easily something to do that can push me away from procrastinating
+and pull me to the correct direction. How do I do all of that? **I don't fucking know\!** But
+knowing what to do hopefully helps find how.
+
+## I'm Still Lost
+
+To be honest, this entire post for me was all over the place, which is a good reflection on how my
+mind works a lot of the times. As you can see, I have a lot of things to fix just to return and be
+productive again, and probably I need to try even harder, because I'm still procrastinating a lot.
+
+I can't tell a correct answer here, because productivity can depend on each person, and I don't know
+exactly how mine works. And the reality is that the "work smart, not hard" is not always correct,
+very often you need to work smart AND hard. But hopefully this can help myself, and maybe another
+person somehow, to be able to work on what I like and what I want to my future.

+# \[Routine\] Triggers
+
+> Today will not be a complete or any time of actual post. I'm just had to say that: procrastination
+> is a bitch, and I'm tired of doing nothing.
+> 
+> ## I'm sorry
+> 
+> This was what I had in mind to post today, but my girlfriend didn't let me. If her is reading to
+> this: eu te amo.
+
+Today was not the greatest day since the start of this journal, I would say. Because I
+procrastinated pretty much all of it, but well, at least now I learned or realized something new
+about myself and routines in general I would say, so now I actually have a theme for today's post:
+routine triggers.
+
+## Today's Bad Trigger
+
+As I said, today I procrastinated most of it, and of course I blame myself for again not stopping
+the domino effect. But now at the end of the day, writing this post, I just questioned myself: "Why?
+What was the first piece that felt over to start this effect?". And I'm kinda ashamed because it was
+so naive and unimportant the answer to it:
+
+On the start of the day, I waked up, dressed myself, and got my phone. And just of curiosity and
+with the idea of getting something out of my day, I thought: "What are the new videos in my feed
+since yesterday? Maybe I could watch them now in the morning, so I don't have anything new for the
+rest of the day."
+
+And in a pass of magic, now I'm here after just passed my day watching videos and **actively
+searching for new ones**. Do you know the "just one more" or "it is X:45 a.m., I'll just do/watch
+this which has 15 minutes, and then I start in Y:00\!"? **This was the entire day**. I know that
+this type of behavior is something somewhat common for everyone, **but it is so silly when you see
+in retrospect**.
+
+My entire day was defined by a small decision at the start of the day. Yes, I could stop at any
+time, but when you start a bad routine, it's hard to get out of it, even more in a day. And it is
+better when you can cut it by the root.
+
+> Why did I have this decision of wanting to watch videos? To be honest, this is an entire different
+> theme for a post, but in summary: dopamine and "hobby" of watching videos since a kid.
+
+## The Good Trigger
+
+So if there are bad triggers which start you in a bad habit/routine, what are your good ones? And
+being honest, I already know mys, I already somewhat talked about with my therapist about: waking
+up, organizing my bed, and then taking a shower. **That's it.** If I start the day with them,
+independent of what hour of the day, the majority of the time, I have a productive day. Why? **I
+don't fucking know**, muscular memory, association, whatever is the research about triggers say
+(*which I forgot about*).
+
+Why I didn't continue doing this morning routine? I can't be sure, but very often is intrusive
+thoughts and justifications like "I waked up late, taking a shower now would take a lot of time". Do
+I know to exactly combat them? No, but knowing about them already helps practice Cognitive
+Behavioral Therapy (*which is the type of therapy that I'm practicing with my therapist, but not
+exclusively, I still am trying to find the roots of traumas and problems, not just fixing them with
+CBT*)
+
+I have to admit that in the past days, I have been very lazy about fighting said intrusive thoughts.
+Thankfully not completely, because I'm still able to do *something* during the day, like organizing
+my note-taking app, or "decorating" it - which to be honest are things that I need to do, but
+shouldn't be a priority or doing now y'know?.
+
+Well, let's see how the next days goes, and hopefully this helped someone to also think about their
+"routine triggers".

+
+# Day 100
+
+Well, it's here\! Day 100, I never thought it would last this long, but here we are. Time to see the
+past, the present, and the future.
+
+## The Past
+
+I created my Tumblr account on around September 24, \[1\]2023, because pretty much because of videos
+of r/Tumblr, it always seemed like a place where there are just people sharing thoughts, interests,
+random and comedic posts sometimes, and I have to admit that this vision haven't changed that much
+lol. Social media in general was never something which interested me, even when nowadays I have
+around [8 social media accounts](https://guz.one/) (counting both generaland art-accounts), I pretty
+much never use them or even explore their timelines, I know how addicting they can be and how much
+they value short and disposable posts. And I won't be blindsided and say that all these problems
+Tumblr doesn't have, but they seem to be in a smaller scale than in the alternatives. Also, the
+unlimited character number shows how much long-posts sharing ideas and topics in-depth are valued,
+which is something I appreciate a lot - even knowing how much the daily journal entries shrank this
+past month or two. I feel like here I can share the things I'm interested easily, independently if
+anyone will read or not, and I'm not encouraged to make "hot takes" or "trending" posts.
+
+And this coincided with a new series of videos of someone I watch: [the daily vlogs by Hunter\
+Peterson](https://www.youtu.be/FTnqL85XzDE). I already have watched some vlog YouTubers which share
+things like productivity advice, some about self-help, and some "student log", you probably already
+know how them are. However, something different kinda hit me, which is hard to explain seeing how
+much time passed since that day. Hunter, for me, that type of YouTuber or influencer, whatever you
+want to call it, that you primarily just see for entertainment like anyone else, but that a
+sometimes they will say something or give really helpful advice to you the viewer, and that slowly
+help you improve yourself while watching fucking memes without giving so much of a care - nowadays
+most of the creators that I watch follow the same line, and you can say it is parasocial or
+whatever, but a lot of them really helped me in some aspects of my life and makes me feel inspired
+and motivated to do the things that I love. - And in this daily vlog of him, he mentioned two things
+which really hit me: the idea and passion of creating something that you love and most importantly,
+something which defines you, akin to a "childish dream"; And the archiving of creation, not just to
+share the process and ideas, but also so you are able to see how much you have grown and worked
+since day 1.
+
+Because of the video, my mind pretty much didn't let me sleep easily because I was thinking about
+the idea of doing the same, of logging the creation of the Capytal project, of getting a job, of
+just fucking trying to create something, and the day after, I immediately wrote the script of the
+video "Daily Journal - Day 0". Yes, these daily journals started as a video series. The script was a
+lot shorter than the first post, being pretty much just a 5 minutes video, I haven't written a video
+script in a long time and my "video creator" muscles were very weak - and still are. In the video, I
+pretty much just introduced myself and the reality that I would in the \[at the time\] next year
+(2024) get a job since in 2023 I wasn't able to concretize the idea of being autonomous and sustain
+myself with my own applications and projects. Also in it, I ended up writing a monologue, almost a
+small manifesto to my self, that I would create the Capytal project, that I would create it in small
+steps, independently of how much money or fame I have nowadays. I remember to end up crying because
+of how much emotion I put into that script, I seemed like a last effort to create the things that I
+love.
+
+However, like almost all videos that I tried to create, there were something which hit and blocked
+me from continuing the idea: my voice and English. I'm not a native speaker, I'm Brazilian, and have
+learned English just because of videos. There were some interactions with native speakers, and I was
+able to communicate and chat normally most of the time, it is fluent enough to be understandable.
+However, I stumbled with words, tone and pronunciation a lot while reading the script. Being someone
+which almost never talks even in my native language since I'm always inside my bedroom alone didn't
+help also, and I always end up with a sour throat and have to drink a lot more water to talk after
+having a long conversation with someone.
+
+I tried recording and editing the audio for around 2-3 days, and the initial hype and motivation of
+the video was starting to fade out, like it always happens when I have one idea of video. Although,
+I wrote the entire script in my Markdown editor ([Obsidian](https://obsidian.md)), and Tumblr has
+Markdown support, not only that, but I started to see people using Tumblr as a blogging platform and
+posting things such as Devlogs and "X days of Y", sharing ideas in a format which I also read in my
+RSS feed and other websites' blogs are written in. Also, the idea of creating daily videos, for
+someone who's trying to find a conventional job from Sunday to Friday, with also his own projects,
+relationships, etc. started to seem rightfully overwhelming. But just giving an hour or so to write
+a blog post doesn't seem that much, and without needing to write my own blog on my website to start,
+it seemed like a good start ["To stop the domino effect"](https://guz.one/1) of procrastinating that
+I was having.
+
+## The Present
+
+And now I'm here, 100 days deep, with just [one day which I posted outside my 24h frame in my
+timezone to post](https://guz.one/12). I would say that this is a win. How many people read these
+posts? To my knowledge, just two: myself, and a friend that I made here on Tumblr (I'm really
+thankfull of your support and being your friend [@sophia-codes](https://tumblr.com/sophia-codes)).
+Do I care of how many people read this? No. The reason that I started this journal was to prove to
+myself if I can be dedicated enough to do something every day, it was made to archive my creative
+and work journey, it was made to know better where and how I was when things happened in my life, it
+was made to share ideas and stories to myself and anyone who end up interested or not in it. And I
+think I partially succeeded in this task.
+
+I will not say here that since day 1 a lot of things changed, even less that anything changed
+because of this daily journal. I still have procrastinating problems sometimes, I still haven't
+created any completed application or software, I still don't have a job. It's just 100 days, and in
+the scale of life, it's kinda little time, being just around 3 months. However, I was able to
+organize my mind and day-to-day pretty much, now I have a good [system of daily-, weekly-
+monthly-notes, and so on](https://guz.one/19) to know when I need to do a task, to balance the work
+on each project, and to not be easily overwhelmed with overdue and to-do tasks in my mind. Nowadays,
+I also have something to always do each day, so I'm always somewhat grounded on the idea of having a
+routine and organizing myself, so I'm able to write these daily journals in time. Because of the
+daily journals now I have a good repository of ideas, concepts and general content to use and remix
+for other social medias, and even when a lot of the last posts started to feel a lot more like a
+small "life log" without so much content, I still was able to write about some interesting topics
+like: [Getting things done and "The Cult of Done"](https://guz.one/15); [The Capytal project and
+having an objective in life](https://guz.one/2); Learning how to play games with
+[Factorio](https://guz.one/4) and [ULTRAKILL](https://guz.one/34); [Saving and sharing memories
+before you die](https://guz.one/17); [Anxiety when hunting for jobs](https://guz.one/29); [Laughing
+at my own insecurities](https://guz.one/37); [Switching from Arch Linux to
+NixOS](https://guz.one/49), and [tweaking my workspace for myself](https://guz.one/25); And [The
+history of the web and why I use links everywhere](https://guz.one/54).
+
+And I have to admit, I would like to write more interesting topics, rather than just "logs" of my
+life.
+
+## The Future
+
+Now, the exciting stuff, the promises of future projects which have a good chance of not happening.
+
+### The Daily Journal
+
+I still want to do these daily blog posts, but I don't know if I will still create daily "journals".
+Not a lot happens in one day, and not every day I'm able to write an interesting topic, even when I
+have a list of possible posts, I feel like if I wrote every single day something this size it would
+end up somewhat saturated and consume a lot of time of myself, that's one of the reasons that the
+single-paragraph posts started to pop up a lot more. However, it's hard to have a good middle-ground
+I think, and with the system that I mentioned some posts ago - of taking these posts and using them
+on social media automatically - it's hard to think of a solution. So for now not a lot will change
+on them, but there are some ideas.
+
+These daily journals aren't really something personal to me, yes, I do share some opinions and
+histories of my day, but I do want to keep things somewhat private in my life and just share things
+related to the creative and work process of my projects. That's why I also created things such as
+the [@guzscode](https://tumblr.com/guzscode) and [@guzsart](https://tumblr.com/guzsart) side-blogs,
+so I can make posts related to each topic, and the [@guz013](https://tumblr.com/guz013) blog for
+general posts. I have to admit that it was somewhat of a mistake naming this blog "guztav013" and
+using it for the daily journals, since it was in the start made for more personal and off-topic
+stuff, but here we are. The main idea to fix it that I have is to make this blog more of an
+aggregation of daily blog posts that I want to make in the other side-blogs, with some smaller posts
+directly here when they don't have a direct topic or are the one-paragraph posts to keep the counter
+going. In other words, I plan to post a lot more in the [@guzscode](https://tumblr.com/guzscode) and
+[@guzsart](https://tumblr.com/guzsart) blogs, and then just re-blog them here as a "daily blog
+entry", so all the posts are together in one place with the counter on top of them (this would also
+exist in [my website](https://guz.one) when I create the blog page of it). Also, the name and
+branding of the blog will be changed to reflect these changes, I don't know when exactly I will
+start these changes and start posting on other blogs, but I will probably change the name sooner so
+it's easier to migrate all the URLs of the blog.
+
+### Hobbiest Monologue
+
+New project\! This is an idea that I had recently, which I hope to get starting somewhat soon.
+
+I have always wanted to create videos, being someone which watch a lot of them for entertainment and
+learning while growing, it is hard to forget this side of my life and hobby in general. In the past,
+even before daily journals and all of this, I did editing for videos with my friends, made trailers
+for them, assets with After Effects, motion graphics, but never actually started a channel or
+produce a complete video for myself - without taking into account the ["0.0" videos that I do every\
+New Year's Eve](https://www.youtube.com/@guz013/videos). And nowadays, with things like hunting for
+a job and creating my own coding projects, it's near impossible to do highly edited videos how I
+would like to do in a somewhat consistent base.
+
+So that's why I'm creating Hobbiest Monologue, a new personal project and YouTube channel/series
+similar to these daily journals.
+
+![](day-100_2024-02-13-HBLogo.svg)
+
+This new project is, as the name somewhat implies, a one-person talk while doing hobbies - yes, I
+know that at this point it's somewhat egocentric to have so much "listen/read my work/opinion", but
+it is hard to create anything else somewhat easily, pure-creative or pure-artistic things, seeing
+how much work things such as animation, drawing, etc. can take. The videos will be unscripted, so I
+can somewhat train my English. They will have some topics relating to the week, projects, ideas,
+similar on how I do things here in the daily journals, and now with the future changes here,
+Hobbiest Monologue will be the place where I do more personal talks and logs I would say. My main
+objective is to be able to do them every week, taking advantage of how simple the videos will be
+done on a weekend while doing some hobby or playing some game, and hopefully edited and posted on
+the same day.
+
+I was planning on posting the first episode together with this post, but due to the past days'
+occurrences and how many things I need yet to do this week, I hope to be able to at least post on
+the weekend of the next week. And hopefully creating these videos, can fulfill my will of creating
+videos for now until I'm able to create more edited and time-consuming videos and series.
+
+### Elementria
+
+There is another part of my life which I think that I talked the least in these daily journals, it
+being art and drawing.
+
+I liked to draw pretty much since I was a kid, but just started to actually draw it on a somewhat
+consistent basis for around 2020 to 2022-ish, just getting an actual drawing tablet around 2021,
+before that I drew with the mouse on my computer using things like Illustrator. And after 2022, I
+stopped a lot, just drawing on special occasions like Valentine's Day and my dating anniversary to
+make gifts for my girlfriend. Outside that, I completely stopped creating Original Characters and
+random drawing of the ones of I already have, just making one drawing of my fursona in the start
+of 2023, [which was a new re-design of him](https://www.instagram.com/p/Coz7HWOrjHp). And in the
+same vein of the will of creating videos, I still do want to draw more, not only that, I want to
+finally create my own universe which I have in mind for years now.
+
+So why not draw comics on the weekend also?
+
+And that's why I'm saying it here, I want to return to drawing and create the universe of
+Elementria, which I will not spoil here since it's full of secrets ;)
+
+I will just be clear here, I'm not the best artist in the world, I'm very far from it, and also I
+never actually created a web-comic in my life or even told or wrote a history like it. The comics
+for now will be just small things, showing the universe slowly, things of the day-to-day of my OCs,
+primarily my fursona since I can pretty much just recreate days of my life with it. However, I do
+plan to expand and slowly create a history of this universe. It will have plot-holes, things that
+don't make a lot of sense, OCs changing and style changing over the days, but - hopelly - it will be
+real.
+
+All the comics will be posted on [@guzsart](https://tumblr.com/guzsart), or a separated blog for the
+universe, I'm still unsure.
+
+-----
+
+And I think that's it, 100 days... not a lot really happened in these 3 months, but also a lot
+changed in myself I would say, and there's a lot for the future yet. I do hope that this counter and
+blog posts can one day be in the 500s or even 1000s, but just time will tell. I don't care if anyone
+will read this today or in the future, I'm proud that I came into this milestone, I never actually
+believed that I would be able to be here writing this post, but apparently consistency, discipline
+and a good amount of pure will to prove yourself something can really push you.
+
+Hopefully, I can also put this will and consistency in other projects, from Hobbiest Monologue, to
+the full name and company Capytal, I don't care how much time it will take, I want it to be real one
+day. But there are a lot of turns in this path that I need to take until I'm able to live fully from
+my own creations.
+
+As always, I will be forever be just someone, someone who's trying to improve.
+
+Thank you for reading.
+

+# I Thought Today Was Thursday
+
+I'm not kidding, for some reason my brain was completely convinced that yesterday was Wednesday and
+today was Thursday, wtf.
+
+I not even read the daily notes' titles this week apparently, which is expected since I haven't
+organized anything these last days and week. There is still some work being done, but mostly in the
+sense of passing time or doing the obvious things for the new projects, and to be honest, I don't
+know if it's worth organizing something this week until the next. Maybe I will at least create new
+notes for the new projects and things like that, but I'm so lost these last two weeks that I even
+forgot that today was Valentine's Day - thankfully my girlfriend did also, and that in Brazil we
+have another date to commemorate dating someone lol. lol. It just seems like the start of the year
+is passing so fast now.
+
+At least now I'm working in the logo for Elementria, which has a style that I never tried before, so
+it's taking some time, hopefully I'm able to show it tomorrow.

+# No Content
+
+I really don't know what to talk for today, I'm procrastinating a lot unfortunately, and I really
+don't why to be honest. Well, outside just neglecting the "organizing tasks" part of my life, I have
+to admit that I'm somewhat addicted to watching videos while working, ending up more watching than
+working. And it isn't helping that the current "tasks" aren't that entertaining or dopamine
+inducing, you know? They aren't that type of work that you feel joy while making, since it is more
+prep work or "homework" for the actual projects. I'm still working on that logo, but because of the
+videos it's taking more time than normal, and because of it, more energy/joy, making somewhat of a
+vicious cycle it seems.
+
+Maybe I should try just focusing on the work a little more.

+# Old Accounts, Emails and Repeating Passwords
+
+Today, I woke up with an email saying that someone tried to log in on one of my old Google accounts
+while I was asleep. An account which I don't used for years, but that still had personal information
+about myself and some connections to my newer ones. So, as a reminder for myself and anyone who
+reads this, today's topic is a brief, informal (and personal) guide on managing passwords and online
+accounts.
+
+-----
+
+> **Note:** I just want to have this clear. None of the services mentioned and suggested here
+> sponsored or pay me to say anything here. I'm not responsible for the actual quality and security
+> of these services, they're suggestions based on personal experience and experience of others that
+> I saw and personally trust.
+
+## Do Not Repeat Passwords
+
+This is the main advice you should follow before any other, **do not use one password for all your
+accounts, period.** Yes, maybe your main accounts on big sites such as Google, Microsoft and
+Instagram/Meta won't be breach so easily with your password in plain sight. However, while using the
+web you will end up creating accounts in lesser known and less secure websites - just remember for a
+while the amount of websites that nowadays requires you to create an account to just read or
+download something that you need.
+
+Two passwords is better, but the only thing that you're doing is just postponing the inevitable.
+Three can be good, but you could get unlucky if most, or some, of the services that you consume uses
+one third-party authentication provider. And even with three, that's a third of your online
+presence, and maybe the password that was leaked on a less important account, could be the same that
+you use on a more important account (such as your bank account or even on some public service that
+has sensitive information such as your address, credit cards, etc.).
+
+You could use a master password and change it depending on the website, using some sort of system,
+to remember them, which I would say is a safe bet, but depending on how many passwords of yours is
+leaked and how complicated the system is, I wouldn't doubt some determine enough person to try
+reverse-engineer said system and find how the passwords are connected to a master one.
+
+The safest bet is using a unique and random password for each account that you have, but remembering
+them is impossible. You could just write each one of them on a piece of paper, even easier if you
+have a few online accounts, but it could get out of hand easily and loosing a piece of paper could
+mean you're loosing all your online accounts. So the most secure and convenience are password
+managers.
+
+## Password Managers
+
+If you want convenience and something out-of-the-box, just use a trusting cloud password manager
+such as [Bitwarden](https://bitwarden.com) or [Proton Pass](https://proton.me/pass), I can't
+recommend others that aren't [open-source](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source) to know the
+security of them (Bitwarden is what I would mostly recommend, but Proton Pass can be better if you
+already use other Proton services). Yes, there are other cloud based such as Dashlane or LastPass
+(the later which [does not have a great security\
+history](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/LastPass#Security_incidents)), but without them being
+open-source, we can't really tell if them securely store your passwords and if their clients
+(desktop and mobile applications) have [end-to-end\
+encryption](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption) (a technology which encrypts your
+passwords before they are sent to the cloud, so even the hosting company can't see them).
+
+Yes, there are offline password managers, and they provide the most secure way to storing your
+passwords. However, I won't recommend or go into details on them here, since they aren't the easiest
+to use and set-up for new users. If you want one to start researching, just learn to use
+[KeePassXC](https://keepassxc.org/), that's pretty much it.
+
+#### Do Not Use Browser's Built-in Password Managers
+
+Google Chrome's (and probably other browsers and Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge)
+stores the encrypted passwords **and the key to decrypt** said passwords **locally**, so any small
+script even can access these passwords easily. Google's password manager is also closed-source,
+which makes it less trustworthy, as it can't be checked if it has end-to-end encryption or not.
+Browsers also do not impose a master password to unlock autofill in websites, so anyone with access
+to your computer can see and log in into your accounts. Browser's password managers also rarely sync
+between devices, something which the cloud-based ones have built-in out-of-the-box.
+
+### But Why?
+
+#### Aren't Most Websites Secure Enough Nowadays?
+
+\[Almost\] yes, websites do, most of the time, but not always, place security measures such as
+hashing your password (transforming your password into a text of fixed-value which don't had any
+similarities to the original password) so it isn't in plain text when it's leaked. But hashing is
+dependent on what password it is generated from, so two sites can have the same hash for the same
+password, leaking the information that you use the same password for both. And I can't really
+confirm, but I wouldn't be surprise if a lesser known or secure website could accidentally use a
+hashing algorithm that can be easily reversed to the original value.
+
+You should also remember that most leaks also contains information such as email, which helps
+identity who is the account's owner, and if on one leaked site there's the password with email, and
+on the other just the email, it is not hard to think that someone would try said password on the
+second site.
+
+#### Websites Can Have Secure Measures, but You Don't
+
+A lot of articles and videos will repeat everything I said here, but there's something which is not
+a lot talked about: you can leak your own passwords. How many times you sent to a friend an online
+account so he could also have access to something temporally? Or how many times you were streaming
+on Discord your screen and needed to log in to an account for one moment before doing something? Or
+even how many times you said it out loud or even sent it by accident, coping and pasting into a text
+input on another window/tab? I'm not even counting the possibility of virus in a computer, or even
+malicious websites that you can accidentally create an account on.
+
+Having different passwords for each account prevents a simple mistake into turning on a catastrophic
+event.
+
+#### What About 2FA (Two-Factor authentication)?
+
+Yes, having two-factor can in many ways cancel the above arguments. However, how many times you
+remembered to activate 2FA right after creating an account? I do not trust myself on doing this for
+every account, even less for "temporally accounts" that I'm just creating because I need something
+on that day and not anymore. And even in 2024, not all websites provide two-factor authentication,
+and some who provide, places the setting on somewhere that is not so easy to find on the UI. Having
+different passwords just helps you prevent shooting yourself in the foot.
+
+### An Unknown Feature of Password Managers
+
+Using password managers also helps you on something that can save you from time-to-time and in the
+future: they are a list of all account you have and had online. At this point, with the amount of
+websites that let or even forces you on creating an account, it is easy to lose track of all them,
+and a lot of these forgotten accounts can still hold personal information or old information that
+you don't want saved anymore. Password managers help you see the amount of accounts you have and
+access them more easily, without needing to remember what was your past-self old master password
+even. And accessing these accounts, you can delete them or remove the personal info to clear your
+mind of anxiety of your past self doing things that you wouldn't do anymore or simply that doesn't
+resonate with who you are anymore. Sometimes you have accounts or websites you forgot completely,
+websites that can change companies, owners, can be leaked, have personal or sensitive information.
+And password managers help you administrate all of them without needing to open a note on your app,
+find a piece of paper, or simply remember and guess if you had an account on that website.

+# Returning to Work, Learning Rust, and a New Logo
+
+I have finally organized the tasks for this week, and I am returning to work routine as before.
+
+## Returning to Work
+
+Today, even without organizing any task, was kinda productive. I have finally finished the
+Elementria logo, and started the work on the logo for the re-branding of this blog/the daily
+journals, it's not finished yet, but hopefully I'm able to complete until tomorrow. Also, I have
+finally done something which I needed for a long time, which is aggregate some job applications to
+contact tomorrow, hopefully I'm able to get at least some response and some stage into the interview
+process.
+
+Unfortunately, there are still some overdue tasks that I haven't organized yet, and things such as
+the Elementria and Hobbiest Monologue notes/tasks aren't done. I do hope to start them this week,
+but things such as video editing, intro, etc. can take a good amount of time. There isn't a video
+editor installed on my system also, so probably the projects will be delayed a little, hopefully
+not, but that's what happens when you have an idea out of nowhere.
+
+## Learning Rust
+
+The main focus of this week is to start my learning process into the
+[Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) programming language, I have been wanting to learn it for some
+months now, and a lot of projects would benefit from using it. I do not plan to be excellent on it,
+I just want to be able to write simple programs at least to start and be able to do things such as
+CLIs applications and hopefully compilers in the foreseeable future.
+
+Hopefully I'm able to learn the basics of it this week and complete a part of the automation system
+this month. I will use said system as an opportunity to learn Go also, but in a future project more
+related to APIs and server-side stuff. My plan is kinda to jump between Go, Rust and JavaScript
+depending on the project.
+
+## The Elementria Logo
+
+To finalize, the Elementria logo is complete\! It is totally different from any logo I have done in
+the past and I still need to do some variations of it for other use-cases. But I can finally show
+the complete version of it here:

+# Reading for 4 Hours
+
+And I haven't written any Rust code or even completed the book yet.
+
+Although, that's how I'm trying to learn, first read the entire book, annotating the most difficult
+parts, so I can get a good overview of the language, and then write examples and projects,
+consulting the book if I have any difficulties writing them. I don't know if it is the best way, but
+doesn't hurt to give it a try. There were some difficulties to read the book itself, however
+thankfully the little bits of knowledge of C and how computers work are kinda helping my
+understanding of the new concepts. I don't plan to be proficiency at Rust, but just be able to write
+and understand it like any other programming language.
+
+Also, I applied to some job applications today and was able to fix my NeoVim + NixOS setup for Rust
+(it's a temporary fix until I migrate my NeoVim config to something more Nix-compatible). And
+hopefully tomorrow I can complete the book and the re-branding of the daily journals.

+# More Reading, More Overdue Tasks
+
+I have to admit that I thought this book would take less time and that I would be able to read it a
+lot faster.
+
+I don't know if I'm doing this correctly, on premise I'm not caring too much about details and
+understand everything, but in practice is a different history. Unfortunately I'm not being able to
+have my complete normal routine, and tasks are accumulating, because like every other programmer as

+
+![](day-108_2024-02-21-20240221211658462.webp)
+
+Now this project follows more closely my other blogs and projects such as the soon-to-be done,
+Hobbiest Monologue. I still need to update the links and URLs on the old blog posts, so they
+correctly sent people to the new page, and there isn't the risk of sending them to a blog of another
+person who end up using the `guztav013` username. With this new branding I hope to emphasize the new
+meaning of the entries: blog posts of all my other blogs, a "challenge" of posting every day on at

+# Using Rust for Scripting
+
+I got bored from just reading the book.
+
+And I need some way to migrate the old links and daily journal notes to the new Daily Blogs notes,
+so why not use Rust to do the job? I finally can at least code in it, even if it is mostly just the
+basic procedural code without the Rust-only or Rust-magic stuff. It's not being difficult for now,
+but let see how these next weeks unfold. For now I will do these little "scripts" using Rust to get
+the hang of it, and because said "scripts" are for converting the markdown files of my Obsidian
+vault where I write the posts, I can also get hang of how to use it for markdown and AST parsing and
+manipulation.

+
+# Automating My Day
+
+> Today I activated my "morning trigger" like I talked about in the past entry. And who would think,
+> it worked\! Now I'm here in the morning writing this entry, will it also improve the rest of the
+> day? I don't know, but it's a start.
+
+Today's topic is something which I'm still trying to improve and working currently on making, but
+could be good to talk about, so it is easier to know what I'm planning to do.
+
+## Having a Note-taking App
+
+Something which I lacked for a lot of time in my life was a note-tacking app, and you probably
+already know about all the "having a second brain" type of talk and things like that. But for me,
+the best part of having one is not the "save everything you know" and things like that, but the
+fucking power that you can have to create a workflow for yourself and only yourself.
+
+A lot of times I tried things like "productivity apps", but it always seems like even if you find
+something which is exactly what you want, someday you will think "why is X like that? It could be
+like Y and would really improve my life" - this is the exact problem that I'm having recently with
+time-tracking apps - and most of the time you can't really change that.
+
+Because of these two problems, I like any other programmer, I thought on making my own
+productivity/note-taking app, but like any other programmer, I soon realized that I shouldn't do
+that and should just pick [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) - *this is not sponsored or anything, and
+if it weren't for the fucking amount of work to create one, I would try to create an app for
+myself.* - Using Obsidian itself for me, it's just a better choice because of two things: It stores
+everything in plain Markdown, which makes your notes not locked-in to the app; And Community
+Plugins, which pretty much end up giving you the power of turning it into any time of app or
+productivity software.
+
+## Templates
+
+If you use any note-taking app you probably are familiar with note-templates, and in Obsidian is not
+that different, it has a core plugin that gives you templating functionality, but I never touched it
+because there's a community plugin that gives you **a lot** more power when creating templates:
+[Templater](https://silentvoid13.github.io/Templater/). And I don't want to make a tutorial or list
+all the features, but just know that with it, you can use JavaScript (a programming language) to
+programmatically create yours templates.
+
+Using it really helped me with my daily notes, because I can easily change the routine for each day
+when creating the template and or making sure that when I created a daily note, a weekly note is
+also created, and then a monthly, quarterly, and yearly, so I never forget to plan and fill things
+for each period of time. Yes, creating templates with this plugin can require a lot of times and
+needs you to have basic programming knowledge.
+
+Something which I'm starting using said template (and with conjunction with other plugins like
+[Periodic Notes](https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-periodic-notes)) is specifying 1–4 projects
+to work on each month, so I can more easily program each week and focus on tasks of just one project
+
+- this workflow helps me not be so lost each day, because in the month I have a more filtered list
+  of things to do during it - And trying to follow myself in day 8, I used Templater, so I don't
+  need to do this process to manually, each time I create a monthly note a prompt appears to ask me
+  how many and which projects I want to work on, all of them are gotten from my projects files in my
+  directory/vault.
+
+![a gif showing how the monthly note work, the user uses 3 commands/prompts to create a new note and
+select the projects](daily-journal-10_monthly-note.gif "Monthly note gif")
+
+> Obs. 1: Yes, it is somewhat slow until the first prompt, the way I programmed the banner fetching
+> is not the best, and it ends up stalling the start of the note. It is a problem more related to me
+> than the plugins, because I wanted to the banners/images be related to the year's season in some
+> way.
+> 
+> Obs. 2: The year in the title is 12023 and not 2023, this was something which I intentionally
+> added just to be more different and because I was introduced to the concept of the ["Human era\
+> calendar" by Kurzgesagt](https://youtu.be/CWu29PRCUvQ), or more correctly, the [Holocene\
+> calendar](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_calendar).
+
+## Data Driven Notes
+
+But the limit with Templater is that, obviously, it just executes when you create a note and use a
+template. So how do I search, filter and organize things like tasks, events and other dynamic
+things? There are plugins for that too:
+[Dataview](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/) and [Obsidian\
+Tasks](https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Introduction). Both are somewhat simple to use even if you
+don't have programming skills, but Dataview also can be used with JavaScript and can be a lot
+powerful with it. Both of them have similar functionalityy, but are used in different aspects I
+would say, Dataview is more for visualizing about your notes and Tasks is more about managing, well,
+tasks in your notes.
+
+I'm still working on this section of my workflow, but with Dataview I can easily visualize how my
+routine has been going, what projects I'm working most, and it just helps me more easily see some
+data and things such as "what is current quarter theme".
+
+![a heatmap calendar of 2023, with a lot of blank days and some colder than
+others](daily-journal-10_heatmap-calendar.png "Routines heatmap calendar")
+
+Tasks I'm currently just use for filtering and listing tasks for the day, week and month. It can be
+very powerful in conjunction with something like Templater.
+
+## An Incomplete Workflow
+
+I have to admit that I'm still developing and tinkering with these plugins to help my workflow, and
+it can consume a lot of time, so I'm doing it in small steps - something which kinda sucks when you
+depend on said workflow to make things daily, and sometimes you need to or update all your older
+notes, or make somewhat backwards compatible with your past workflows. But it is fun for me in the
+end.
+
+My current plan is mostly to focus on the periodic notes part of things, trying to separate tasks
+and ideas in each section of time:
+
+- Daily notes: list tasks for the day and routine checking;
+- Weekly: plan and organize projects' tasks for the upcoming days of the week;
+- Monthly: separate 1 to 4 projects to be focused on the month, no other project outside of these
+  should be worked on primarily;
+- Quarter: visualize and give a direction on what I want to improve in the season. Choose a theme
+  which will influence in the decisions in this period of time;
+- Yearly: visualization of work done, routine, etc. Pretty much just a big chunk of data related to
+  that year in one note.
+
+I hope that all of this can help me go in a direction that I want daily to improve myself and follow
+my small and big objectives. Will it work? I don't know, it is not so different from what I was
+doing before, and a lot depend on myself. But as I said in day 8, a lot of times automating what I
+need to do helps me and forces me to go in a direction at least.
+
+> And something that I wanted to talk about, but would be better in another post or blog, is trying
+> to use lesser the mouse even in Obsidian. I still need to create more shortcuts, but in less
+> button presses I need to do something, the less friction to do a task or something in a day. I
+> can't really express why, but using fully the keyboard feels a lot more productive than with the
+> mouse, that's even one of the reasons that Linux is my operating system, however it is a talk for
+> another time.
+
+Something which I hope to do in the future is build on top of this workflow of using Markdown and
+Obsidian to edit with things like auto-uploading/posting these daily journal entries. I write these
+entries in Obsidian before committing to Git and copying to Tumblr, and being able to just make
+everything automatic would again help not to distract myself when opening the website, but that a
+programming talk for the future.

+# Having Some Struggles, but Having Fun
+
+I have to admit that writing Rust is not being so straight forward sometimes, but I'm finally coding
+again, so I'm finally having fun again.
+
+Unfortunately, it seems that Markdown deserialization and serialization, the main reason that I'm
+learning the language nowadays, it's not something so well-supported or easy to do as it is in the
+JavaScript ecosystem. Yes, there are crates (libraries) such as
+[Comrak](https://crates.io/crates/comrak), but they aren't
+[mdast](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast)-compliant or have an easier AST to work on, so I'm
+needing to use [markdown-rs](https://crates.io/crates/markdown-rs) and ~copy~ write my own
+AST-to-markdown function. I don't know if it is the best way to learn Rust out-of-the-box, but it is
+what it is. At least just by writing this script, I can have a lot of knowledge and code to reuse
+when I do write the CLI that I need for The System.

+# More Delays, More Overpreparing
+
+I lost count of the amount of hours that I'm wasting creating Obsidian templates, but to be honest
+with you, I kinda enjoy it?
+
+No, I do not forgot about the Elementria and Hobbiest Monologue projects, I'm just not being able to
+work on them during the week since I'm trying to learn Rust. However, some progress is being done. I
+already have installed DaVinci Resolve for the editing, and it seems to be working normally, the
+note templates for each episode are also complete, so I don't forget what to talk on each, the
+thumbnails are also completed. The only thing not completed is the intro and the setup to recording,
+which I hope to complete this week.
+
+The Elementria project I'm still needing to organize some things, and I'm probably over-preparing or
+over-organizing every single aspect of the notes related to the universe, but to be honest, I kinda
+like it and see the notes correctly connecting on Obsidian's graph view. These projects I will try
+to work slowly to be honest, I don't want to overwhelm myself doing multiple things at one time, and
+again, they are **hobbies**, so I shouldn't stress myself with them.
+
+Also, hopefully tomorrow, I want to talk about a new concept that I learn that may or may not change
+the ways that I do these blogs.

+title: Shutting up and doing things
+---
+
+# Shutting up and Doing Things
+
+Well, again, a video changing how I see things in my life.
+
+## The Videos & The Concept
+
+I recently saw these two videos: [Code In Secret, by
+bigboxSWE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZEvZBgikBQ) and its reference video, [The Unfair
+Advantage That Introverts Have, by HealthyGamerGG](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDDeves6Crs), and
+their concepts are starting to affect some things in the way I do things. Both of them talk about
+the concept of how to maintain motivation and how language can replace action.
+
+In more details, paraphrasing a lot of the content from the videos, the same way that venting out
+and saying about negative things and traumas of yourself can reduce the negative thoughts that you
+have inside your mind, it can also happen to positive things and motivation. Saying about your
+goals, objectives, projects and what you want to do can remove your energy of actually doing that.
+The action of saying something can replace the action of actually doing something, you already said
+as a fact that you are going to do it, so why bother if it already *will* become a fact like you
+said? Not only that, but in a conversation, you can receive the same positive feedback that you
+would get doing the thing, and also gives the opportunity to someone to compare and end up reducing
+your expectations of what you're motivated on doing.
+
+## Talking a Lot, Doing Little
+
+And you can already see where I'm going with this when I'm the person here which runs an entire
+daily blog and creative-process/work log journal.
+
+However, it is not only that, apparently this can actually be one of the big factors which affects
+my life and motivation. I have always, **always,** talked about my projects to friends, which also
+have their projects and share creative things and concepts to each other, and what happens almost
+always after I say every detail of a project I'm working on? I stop it. And unfortunately there are
+a lot of examples of this happening to me, I have started a lot of things out of nowhere, started
+working on them, and as soon as I talk to someone, it starts to slow down and stopping. Nonetheless,
+you can actually see this happening just some days ago, with the Hobbiest Monologue and Elementria
+projects that I have shared on [Day 100](https://guz.one/100), I pretty much lost all motivation of
+doing them after that, I'm not even joking or exaggerating.
+
+A lot of times I build up motivation, energy, ideas, start on creating logos and notes, build up
+everything... and share it with friends with proud, just to right after lose interest. And, even if
+I like doing these daily blogs, and even if they help me have something to do every day, I can't
+deny that it also worse this problem of oversharing.
+
+## Shutting up
+
+Will I stop sharing ideas? No. Will I stop these daily blogs? Also, no. Like everything is in life,
+there can, and should, be a balance, and it is impossible for me to completely shut up about my
+projects, I actually need to talk about them if I want to complete my objectives in life. But, I
+never actually planned correctly how to talk about them.
+
+The main thing that I should change is talking about projects before they even start, I always start
+talking right after I start doing it, without the project even maturing into something that I
+actually feel like continuing and creating a routine to complete. Also, this opens the opportunity
+to actually show something instead of just talking about it, I always wanted to fill these posts
+with code snippets, GIFs, etc. of the projects, so focusing on doing them instead of just talking
+about it would be better. This is also something which helps with my plans of how I want to use
+social media in general, to be something to show my work, be a public portfolio.
+
+And the second, which I kinda explain why I'm talking about "shutting up", on a daily blog, and
+venting out ideas, is to **actually read what I write** and be more conscious of what I share with
+others. All my blogs I do on pretty much one go, without looking back and reading everything, so it
+ends up being a more casual thing which I can complete in a reasonable amount of time. However, I
+should probably at least read what I write to know what I'm motivated about and why I'm motivated
+about something, get that motivation and energy back instead of just putting it out into the wild.
+
+Hopefully writing this didn't exhaust all my motivation of actually following these things and
+concept.

+# Rustlings \[almost\] Completed
+
+Well, I completed the [Rust's Rustlings,](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings) almost all of
+them.
+
+I have to admit that I didn't read all the book, I'm still on chapter 15, but I'm not planning on
+reading the rest for now. Rust is not a language that I expect to be good at, at least any time
+soon, I just want to be able to write code with it for specific projects for now and learn more as I
+need it. So I have just completed for now some 70 rustlings I think, which is kinda a lot, and
+really helped me read better the code. Nonetheless, now it's time to do some actual projects.

+anymore.

+# Seek the Obvious
+
+Today's entry will be somewhat short since I had some problems with the internet connection on my
+desktop after coming home and just now I'm able to post and write this. The therapy section was
+good, and I was able to talk a lot about the last occurrences of these pasts weeks, and the problem
+that I had yesterday's night, which I'm more calm in relation to it since the "answer" of it is
+somewhat obvious to fix. Nonetheless, I won't go into details since it is a personal topic and I of
+course won't talk about what I talked in therapy.
+
+And what was the problem with the computer?
+
+The router was the problem, one of its Ethernet connections isn't working properly.

+# A Long Day of Trying to Install Linux
+
+Yes, it's not a really creative title, but whatever, I just want to play Minecraft now. I have been
+trying to install Linux, from NixOS to Arch to Ubuntu, on the home's notebook, an Acer Aspire
+ES1-533. No one of the distros worked, there's something in this notebook that stops anything that
+isn't Windows to boot, not only boot, but even if it was able to install, Linux doesn't work
+properly on the machine either. But, even if I need to install Windows, at least I can remove the
+bloat with [AtlasOS](https://atlasos.net/) and [AME Wizard](https://ameliorated.io/) (which maybe
+you heard of as "Ameliorated Windows" before).

+# A Resting Day
+
+I sometimes forget to just rest sometimes. Yes, I admit that I procrastinate a lot, but there's a
+difference when you do something with guilt, knowing that you should be doing something else, and
+just opening some game, playing it, and forgetting about everything else for some hours. There is a
+lot of work to me to do, but I'm felling fulfilled enough to just let waste some hours y'know.

+# Small Steps
+
+Another late day journal entry. Why? Well, I didn't "activated" my good trigger today. However, I
+don't want to simply not post anything, because if one day I don't post, probably the next day I
+wouldn't also.
+
+This is probably a precedence for a future post in more details, but I just want to remember myself
+that, I'm not stopped. Even if in these past few weeks I didn't make that much progress, I'm still
+making at least something each day to improve myself, small steps to improve. And tomorrow I will go
+to my therapist, and maybe figure out how I can make more bigger steps to improve and/or simply some
+way to help get these routines working again.
+
+Even if you aren't being the most that you can, it is better to do little than nothing, I would say.
+Sorry again for the small entry, but a lot of times I spend hours making these, and today I don't
+have the time for it, unfortunately.

+Converting these notes with Rust was more difficult than I thought it would be, but now, it's almost

+
+This will be a short post, since my hands are almost falling off. I have been adding metadata,
+changing the structure and fixing links and typos for this entire day, all the 120 daily blogs I
+made since November 6th. And it isn't done yet, there are still some 20 more to go that I wasn't
+able to convert automatically, so it's all manual. At least from now on everything is in pure
+standard Markdown, and all the additional info can be on the frontmatter.

+I didn't work a lot today, since I needed to get out of home today to take care of some personal
+things. But at least the work for the next days is scheduled, and I also started the migrating of my
+NeoVim config, so it's more NixOS-compatible. There are some things that I need to update in my
+configs to facilitate and fix bugs that I'm having during work. So yea, time to spend hours writing
+Nix and Lua.

+# I Have a Fever, Great.
+
+Yea, just going out yesterday made me catch a fever out of nowhere. So if these next days end up
+with little to no work, it is probably because of it, my body is heavy, and my brain can't stop
+having pain. However, I still need to continue to work, even if it is on a slow pass, the quarter is
+ending and there are a lot of things to do. Even if my brain is hurting, it can still function.
+
+I'm kinda forgetting the "work smart AND hard".

+shorter, it is because I'm mostly just posting to keep the counter alive, so I can continue my days

+I really don't know what to say here anymore, not being able to work and being in bed all day is
