Journal Entry 2025-05-01

Today I continued the new tradition of going out for walk before starting work. I also continue to cooking sunny side egg for breakfast and it’s so far given me time to also prepare for lunch while the egg and toast cook. I am still not used to sleeping for long period after the jaw surgery and average around 6.5 hours currently. I will need time to get used to sleeping for longer duration and sleeping in earlier time. Currently I target sleeping at 11PM and try not watch any youtube or reddit during the last 30 minutes before bed as it typically will cause me to go significantly over the target.

In terms of reading today I started reading the audio book, learning like a pro and spend 30 minutes listening to it. So far I am still skeptical about the pomodoro technique as I have tried it in the past without much benefit. But it is interesting to learn more about the psychologic aspect of the learning and incoporate some of the items talked about in the book. Will share the notes after finish reading about it.

During work today I completed a design review today which overall went pretty well for and didn’t see too much objection from the team member. I couldn’t recall the last time I did a design review smoothly and I think this build up my confidence for future design as my previous design review didn’t go very smoothly and it causes me to fear doing design review and writing design document in general. Trying to combat that fear now and try to build more confidence and get better at doing so. I believe as long as I do the proper research and setup a good system for analyzing the problem it should get better over time.
