March 2023 Time investments: Since the decision to change the ambiguous job tag  to reporting what was actually done, we see that the job tag has vanished from the top 10 activities invested in March 2023 The purpose of doing these reviews is to help get insights about where a course correction is needed and what we can expect the future to look like. Why Linux was heavily invested in? - Because that is what pays the bills and I enjoy it. Why writing was heavily invested in and promoted? - because it helps me think clearly and make good / better decisions . Why did we spend 30 hours on other people and why did I put a max limit goal of 0.4 hours a day on other people. - the issue is we need to have boundaries, Highly effective people do not allow, just about anyone to message them and start taking up their time. - part of the other people tag is situations or meetings with people where there was not a clear win-win for both parties. The meeting was a waste of time. And so I wa...

I was recently looking at a list of top searched queries on search engines like google. Here are the broad themes I found in the questions people asked: 1. Money  2. Relationships and everything related to that 3. Food 4. Celebrities 5. How To  6. Happiness and personal success 7. Health And this list is also very close to most peoples' goals and top priorities.

In the month of Feb 2023 this is what I spent my time (life) on: Sleep 7.03 hrs per day is fine though Elon said he sleeps average 6 hours a day - so I think we can improve on this, given we are not exercising as much and dont need too much sleep Job 2.05 hrs/day this has been reduced because mid-Feb I decided that the job tag was a bit ambiguous and should not be used any more - it is better to log what I was actually doing - eg - programming? linux? or talking to other people Linux 1.16hrs /day  has come from job work  Driving 1.10 hrs per day on this is definitely not okay, especially when we have the option to work from home. I dont want to waste my life sitting in traffic because this means I am not focusing on reading a book, learning from udemy etc or programming and doing linux stuff. Writing 1.01 hrs per day - this is awesome :) I will keep it up - it is what I am doing now. Most of what I write is Qna I make a list of questi...
