However, with this flexibility comes temptation. Be sure to remind yourself how important and interesting your desired learning material is in order to stay motivated and avoid distracting consumption.

I try to incorporate as much real life as possible in line with my learning goals. For example when I started to code I tried to surround myself with programmers, contributing to open source and applying for a software engineer job. In addition to that comes my writing. I try to document as much as possible and aim for publishing it. Not only does this improve my learning, but also gives me credibility.


### Sport

Sport is vital. Period.
Sport is vital.

I always schedule 2-3 times of sports activity in my week. Currently this is 2 times strength training and 1 yoga session. I love sport and therefore force myself to not overdo it. I consider this the bare minimum. As I am working as a developer and sitting at university and learning the whole day, my body needs movement.

Everything else falls into the category "others". This is the hard truth. Everything else I schedule behind behind my main goals. This can be very unrewarding and unsatisfying, but it is necessary since every day has only 24 hours and my body is just a human body as everybody elses.

Especially socializing, friends, relationships, family often come too short. That's why I try to fit them into breaks. Whenever I don't need to think hard or focus deliberately on tasks I get some socializing in. This can be a phone/video call, Whatsapp text, or a meeting scheduled for the break like lunch or dinner.

## The next months

I will keep this schedule for the next 6 months and review it's fruits afterwards. In the time of writing I expect it to be a little bit too much pressure due to some exterior goals but I am happy to push my boundaries. I already see the lack of "non-thinking time" or "relaxation time" to be a problem for the future. Especially when exams are coming I see the lack of breaks risky for achieving all goals. It will be a great experience to see how I react to the rise in pressure and obligations.
