I could stand to lose some weight. I can always stand to lose some weight, but now, also.

I look like a real computer nerd, now.

Like I'm wearing a sign around my neck:

THIS PERSON SPENDS 16 HOURS PER DAY TYPING, HARDLY SLEEPS, NEVER TAKES BREAKS, WORKS OUT MONTHLY, HAS NO HOBBIES, EATS WHATEVER.

People keep trying to give me complicated nutrition tips and workout plans, and I'm like...

I should maybe start small. Like, getting at least 7 hours of sleep. Every night. No exceptions. No excuses. No guilt.

And then waking up 6 am and going for a walk.

That's it. That's the Grand Plan.

Nearly hopeless.

7 hours of sleep and fresh air sound like an impossible feat.

I’d say start with small habits, no cold turkey stuff.

Slowly add friction for habits you want to break, and remove friction for habits you want to keep, build, or improve. E.g. simply rearranging app icons on your screen leads to less usage.

We make thousands of choices in a day, try to make as many as you can consciously, even if silly. Reflect on some of those choices the next day.

Well, commuting once per week has forced me to notice that I am getting too wide for the seats on the train and that I'm slow and sort of lumbering, when I walk to the station.

I also eat a lot less, when I'm out of the house, which is nice.

I'm a real workhorse, now, and look it.
