Mind Transformation 182

11671.
I got sick. The whole day was spent by lying in bed and watching movies.

11672.
Another day of being sick.

11673.
Almost recovered. So, it was a little bit strange. I had a strong intention to avoid any kind of input. It seemed so easy, in theory, to live a couple of days without any books or the internet, but I wasn’t able to follow my intention. I knew that for me it were better if I just do nothing in these days. What happened? Why was my self control so weak? The sickness is supposed to be the answer? Maybe I got sick due to my overwhelmed learning? Indeed, I was learning as mad, but I didn’t feel tiredness. It was easy. I really didn’t do anything hard. I didn’t force myself. Perhaps, sometimes, I watched an extra lecture by Peterson, though I always could realize when it was enough.
To become more productive—or at least not to become less productive—than I was in previous times, I need to handle mental exercises by combining them with physical exercises as harmoniously as possible. When I’m in a good shape I can work with my English uninterruptedly for the entire day (14-16 hours), but, probably, I have to change the direction of my attention weekly and focus it on physical activity as well. And write about it! Write! Writing is the key! Journaling is fucking magic or—to put it in other words—strategical thinking.
