Hello, I think that from now on I'm going to write on Sundays, so I can have a true summary of a full week.

This week was the organic sequel of the previous one: I kept having ideas of projects and great desire of improving my lifestyle. I got into preparing healtier meals for myself, the problem is that it takes time and I'm always in lack of time. Last week I instaleld a self-hosted service that allows me to store my own recipes, and this week I had the chance to save a few ones. It's still a bit early to give opinions on the tool, but if you want to try that out, it's called Tandoor Recipes.

It's really hard to keep all these ideas out of my head during my work day, I feel like this is one of the things that contributes to my lack of focus. Another thing I noticed, is the combo of boring tasks and lack of human interaction in a full-remote working environment. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't work in any other way, but there's always some trade-offs. While I constantly work to find my perfect balance, I'm still pretty far from that. But writing here could help me keep track of things, for example I found out that a brief huddle with someone about a though problem, a boring task, or wathever task I cannot initiate, really boots my brain for a little while, creating momentum.

I'm socially lazy. This means that I try to avoid human interations as much as possible, by default. I'm conscious that this is not a good thing, even if I trhive when I'm alone, I really enjoy that. When I get to spend time alone I have the best ideas, I can be free within my mind. The tricky part here is to find an equilibrium between being alone and spending time with people.

From time to time I go to work to the Milan office, that usually helps breaking the monotony, but I feel like I'm being held home by PTSD. I don't like going out in big cities, at the moment. I feel constantly anxious that someone could rob me. This is the main reason why I'm in therapy. It's very early to say how that's going but I'm slowly building a strategy to fight anxiety with rationality. I'm also experimenting with the Method of Loci, but that story is for another day.

I just brought my wife to the airport, she's going to Croatia last minute for a week, because her best friend is not well, so she wants to be with her. I'm left here with 2 dogs and a cat. Yes, 2 dogs because my wife is dog sitting a little cute monster, a tiny Chihuahua with abandonment issues: she can't stay alone for a moment that she starts to cry. I kind of like her, but every time she's being annoying I have to be careful, the risk of meltdown low but always there.

That felt like an emotional dump, hey I'm not sorry! See you next week
