Experimental June: week 2

Week 1 is here.

This week’s been a bit all over the place. I probably broke a bunch of my rules, though I think I can let them slide since most of it was for "work".

WWDC happened this week, and I watched the livestream on YouTube. I also listened to a few podcasts afterward, primarily Dithering, since it kind of counted as research. I might write down some thoughts on the event for overkill, so I wanted a few different angles.

Speaking of YouTube: I miss it. I still go through my subscription tab once a week to save stuff for after this experiment, but there’s so much good content online that I’m starting to wonder if I should just admit defeat, clean up my subscription tab like I said last week, and start watching again. Manuel might be shouting at me in a second.

As for the other things, I’ve been meditating daily, except for yesterday. I was so deep in a rabbit hole I woke up this morning, realizing I completely missed it. I’m also slowly increasing my sitting time from 10 to 20 minutes. I’m using this app, and it might be the best one I’ve tried so far. Still early, but it’s unlike anything else I’ve used, and I’ve done meditation retreats.

Still actively reading, still running and going to the gym.

Two more weeks to go. But I think the experiment won’t have as big an impact as I expected.
