Quickly summing up today feels fitting, given that my entire day has been a rush—a constant race against time. There were so many things to do that I could barely pay attention to my Pomodoro timer reminders, completely straying from my planned rhythm.
This morning, while getting Hamer out the door, I felt pressed for time, so I pretended to be all flustered, darting around on purpose. She found it amusing, which encouraged her to speed up her own routine. After she left, I went home to make coffee and had breakfast with Xiaoyan. I didn’t waste my commute either, using the time to rehearse the English passages I’ve been practicing over the past few days. I can feel my fluency improving bit by bit.
During the day, I focused on GNSS development, especially designing custom layers and advancing the main UX framework as planned. Though progress was steady, I did hit a few snags with some details, so I’ll need to continue working on those tomorrow.
After work, I went to the gym. When I mentioned this to Xiaoyan in the morning, she was surprised—I’ve always been someone who avoids gyms at all costs. But this time, I wanted to try something different: building strength, gaining muscle, and hopefully forming a new habit. Today was mainly about familiarizing myself with the space and doing a few basic sets of squats, bench presses, and deadlifts. After the workout, my arms were so sore I could hardly lift them, but it felt amazing, like my body had been reawakened.
