How do I begin this post? By simply beginning :) Again! This probably is the fourth (or is it fifth) time, I’ll be attempting to learn how to program. And probably the same number of attempts at #100DaysOfCode. I did 47 days last time and 37 days before that. I will try my utmost to go the distance this time. Because even if I didn’t complete a full run, I still learnt tonnes from all my previous efforts. I do have a beginner’s grasp of Python. And I hope get even better, much better, this time. ...

Unlike #100DaysOfCode, I am not quite giving up on Emacs. Rather that it has turned out to be a habit that has fit in, quite well, and I don’t need this accountability any more. I use it for most of my prose (not code, yet.) This post, is in fact, written in Emacs :) I have not gained any modicum of knowledge by any means. But I have enough muscle memory and immersion, to make sure I will continue using Emacs for most writing I do. ...

In a world where Atomic Habits, did not exist, I’d call Tiny Habits the best book on behavioural change and habit building. Or maybe, I am biased because I read James Clear’s book first. Just like Cal Newport took Anders Ericsson’s work and ran with it; so did James build on BJ Fogg’s. Tiny Habits is lovely, has pretty tables and is a lovely engaging read. If you want to change your behaviour, you simply cannot go wrong by learning from the man, who has taught many of our modern day influencers like Ramit Sethi or Instagram founder, Mike Kreiger. ...

Practiced moving around with the Emacs keys for 30 mins

Learnt all about movement and search today.

Too tired, so just worked my way through the Anki deck for a bit today.
