Berkeley, Monday, September 24, 2018 00:42 AM Perhaps simple to say, but this is the most pragmatically habit for getting things done. Just start it. There is a lot of resistance in our comfort zones for doing difficult things. Sometimes, I used to delay things, which I could have already started, for a better time. […]

Beyond the fluid mechanics a lesson from Evan Variano on how to teach when the technology from the host fails
Berkeley, Thursday, September 20, 2018 11:07 PM This post belongs to Wednesday, September 19, 2018 Thinking clearly is an art that can be developed by experience and by taking challenges, reading, and writing.

Planning and the importance of scheduling
Berkeley, Thursday, September 20, 2018 10:34 PM I aimed, when I started to write this blog post, to write everyday. I do not recall any wasted time since last Friday, since when I have not been writing my blog in a daily basis as the three previous weeks. I stick to my goals, I am […]
My blog post continues after two days of silence
Berkeley, Monday September 17, 2018 11:36 AM This post corresponds to Saturday, September 15, 2018 I had an active weekend. I reached some relief after pushing some nights of short sleep for hitting a deadline on Friday. Without too much planning, we ended up celebrating it with Jian, with live music and less than a […]
Getting more active on social media
Berkeley, Thursday September 13, 2018 9:56 PM Priorities are important, but starting to pay some attention and sharing some wit in the social media is not too bad. I am moving on with one extra dimension by being active, at some degree, on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. It is time to start sharing what is […]
Being coached has a high value because one is challenged more frequently
Berkeley, Monday, September 10, 2018 10:58 PM I had two meetings today where, though I was challenged, I just learned additional wisdom from senior Faculty just by interacting with them in my own work. I am happy to be under pressure that I am working those days, and performing extensive literature review in my field. […]
Getting ready for THE week
Berkeley, Sunday September 9, 2018 9:51 PM I am 7 minutes away for going to my room and going to bed. I am working at the library of I-House. From my extension from Friday to Monday, I have added a summary of two authors more. One of them Ian McHarg, who wrote the most influential […]
Showing up for the social events from friends? Yes, often should be a priority.
Berkeley, Wednesday, August 29, 2018 10:47 PM I face multiple decisions over a day, and receive a large amount of e-mails, sometimes invitations, plus extra challenges on which I commit. Today, I hosted Professor Radke, an expert on spatial analysis, on my colloquium. I assigned to the participants a reading of 17 pages on the […]
Multidimensions: It is a need to be present in social media, but being active in them could be actually good, and not distractive. Will see.
Berkeley, Tuesday August 28, 2018 10:40 PM I am writing this essay, late while a bit tired. I am at I-House Cafe, sharing a 2 person table, with my Public Policy student friend, Hannibal. The music is very loud here at the Cafe, but still will try to do my best to finish this on […]
Some experiences; actually, each time more daily experiences described over a chunk of time
Berkeley, Monday August 27, 2018 9:35 PM Starting the second week of the Fall semester. The following topics that this post I will cover today in this post: Discipline / schedule. Short meal save time and weight as well. Stay active by working, writing, making calculations, reading, summarizing, and the brain activates over the day […]
