March 17

I need to bring some order to the work ahead. Here are the parts:

• Languages: Practice Japanese, Spanish, French, and Arabic in quarterly blocks. Keep English in daily life through original financial reports, conversations with AI, and careful reading of books in English.
• Input: Give the Bible at least an hour of attention each day so I keep progressing. Spend at least half an hour each evening with a substantial book.
• Output: Write WeChat articles about practical uses of GitHub and Google, useful methods, and things I have tested myself.
• Production: Decide whether to redesign the CyberPup project.

Before writing that list, my mind felt crowded with difficult tasks. Now I see that these are the main ones. The next step is to turn each category into concrete actions.

I want to protect ninety minutes a day for mental training, using the Pomodoro method to structure it. For the remaining Bible reading, I will follow what I call the “61 method” strictly and track the amount. I am less clear about my next articles, though what I am doing now should provide good material. More varied daily experiences and my learning notes could become useful posts.

I think the small Web4 project may need a fresh start. I will decide how after thinking it through. Talking with AI also showed me how demanding this whole schedule is. It leaves almost no room to breathe. That intensity is familiar, but this time more of the effort points toward making things. Perhaps “more practical” is a fairer description. The pace is still too tight, yet my reason for learning is changing, and that feels like progress in direction.

Writing out the details of these adjustments is itself valuable material. Now I need enough sleep to sustain the work.

Putting thoughts into words helps direct attention and makes my judgments clearer. I still remember a self-described “teacher” telling me US stocks were in an enormous bubble. I delayed entering that market by a year and began trading there only two years later. I am glad I learned to revisit advice rather than leave it unquestioned.
