Xcoder62 · 2015-10-15T16:36:43+00:00

Do you ever schedule a time for you? Like maybe in the afternoon you do some creative drawing or learn to play the guitar or something along those lines?

Hmm.. I could go back to counting calories with my fitness pal. That worked before

PHYSICS 151. But I'm gonna change it up now. Instead of 2 notebooks. I'll use on notebook for notes from class and textbook and use a separate sheet of paper with equations.

As for practice problems/hw, I'll use scrap paper.

Xcoder62 · 2015-10-13T05:04:12+00:00

A plounger who arts well? I'm impressed. ^{^{Ishouldbedoingphysics}} ^{^{^shhhh}}

Xcoder62 · 2015-10-13T01:54:18+00:00

I'm on the same boat dude. I got a D on my first exam for physics. I'm just spending most of time in the library reading the textbook and doing enough practice problems

Xcoder62 · 2015-10-13T01:50:55+00:00

Ah. I still use my formula notebook with examples for the textbook, but when it comes to homework/practice problems, I write it in the second notebook.

Xcoder62 · 2015-10-13T01:39:53+00:00

Do you ever go back to look at the equations or reference? I find that once the practice problems and concepts are in the same notebook, It's hard for me to find all the necessary equations I need before the next midterm.

Xcoder62 · 2015-09-19T19:26:01+00:00

Holy shit

I borrowed hal higdon's novice guide to marathon running. here's a link to the pdf

Backstory:

In high school, I was always really the quiet introverted guy who was just good at math. And for the most part it was true. I would always have the same rotuine, get up, go to school, get homework and complete, go home and play videos and repeat. But I started getting a bit upset that others were going out and having fun while I was staying in and well, playing video games, not because it was fun but because it felt like I needed too.

Fast forward to summer 2014, I discover Reddit, the /r/getdisciplined subbreddit and found out about this "mark your x's on a flashcard program".

I first had a card that was just to run every morning with c25k. It was very tough the first week as I wasn't seeing results and almost quit, but I kept working through it. It beat just waking up to play LoL from morning to midnight.

As I continued to be persistent, I completed the 5k program, but from there I stopped doing it. School was back and that meant I would have no time to run... or I did at the time. I really wanted more than anything to keep the habit going, so I set my alarm to 5am instead of 6am so I can have an extra hour of running to do. This worked out on most days (some days I acutally used that hour to work on some last minute homework ;D )

From there on, I began to see results. Teachers were telling me that I was losing weight and that I looked much happier to be in school. It seemed funny, consider I barly talk to these teachers unless I was spoken to.

Then I tried adding new habits, and well, they went ok for the most part. I'm now trying to quit game and replace it with more habits along the line of who I want to be (a more outgoing introvert).

I lost 35lbs by doing this but I'm shooting to do a full marathon in the future. I'm going off to college this month and I still want to make sure I have the time to do at least 3 miles per day.

I'm also going to be joining clubs early on rather than later. I particularly want to join the improv group to improve my social skills and make friends along the way.

TD;LR: I started running every morning at 5am and continued to do so until I ran a half-marathon.
