Reaching out for balance...
This is my current project load:
-
TweetLens.com – This is a twitter client that I am building. The clients out there currently don’t offer what I really want. That is: Web based, keyboard navigation and good data filtering. This project has almost consumed my life. I started it without knowning how to write a lick of JavaScript. Now I know jQuery, DOM manipulation, event driven programming, etc. pretty well.
In a few weeks I should have the next alpha release out. I’m currently rebuilding the backend for better data caching which is essential when you’ve move a lot of data processing off the desktop and into the cloud. It’s coming together. Fortunately my backend development skills are still sharp.
- Project #circadian – This is to reset my sleeping schedule so I pass out around 10:00pm and get up around 6:00am. Rise and set with the sun essentially. The steps with this is to get a pair of blue light blocking glasses and reduce my caffeine intake. There is some interesting research into the relationship between blue light and alertness. I’ll see how it works. This blog post really helped point me in the right direction too.
- Improve my diet. Eat based on the Zone diet. Then add extra fat / protein to gain mass.
- Get more Crossfit. I just have to show up 4 times a week.
I’ve been thinking lately that these are the pillars to leading a balanced life style:
- Exercise for the body. Crossfit is my drug of choice.
- Exercise for the mind. Programming for me.
- Get enough rest. Project #circadian.
- Get good fuel. Eat Zone, with extra fat and protein to gain mass.
