Heart Hurt, acknowledging distractions, but better connected to the self

Berkeley, Friday, March 24, 2023 6:33 Pm

I’m still in here, and about to have dinner (extremely late lunch), but wanted to write here before I got this hungry.

There is not need of course writing things and details in here. But this is my little room of accountability.

One of my recent distractions is the Kings League. A 7 against 7 indoor soccer in Barcelona, created by Gerard Piqué.

They were playing the quarterfinals today. I of course, watched plenty of the second and third match today. That is about one hour and a half in a productive day. I want to check a bit of the later one now.

I won’t talk much about the teams etc.

I will use a bit of that time while I eat dinner. Then of course I have to focus and write, which I am on the mood of doing.

The key thing is that eating in front of a screen was unimaginable thing to do for me years ago, and here I am. Other relevant things, I skipped two invitations for dinner just now.

One was a big one, the other one was a friend, who just stopped by my desk now.

Why I am not going? Because I need to catch up on writing etc. But I am hoping to not get distracted by watching something while having dinner.

I probably should have gone, but I didn’t planned and haven’t worked enough today.

I of course will start pushing harder to that social balance, exercise (which I overdid in January), and academic productivity, (and my guitar of course, which singing processes really connects me to my heart).
