  • Should I Buy A…

    I am thinking of taking a few professional exams this year, and I am deliberating about whether I should be improving my study by buying certain equipment. For example I argue with myself that I can’t read a pdf in my bed since I can’t bring my laptop, so I need to buy an Ipad….

  • Happy New Year!

    Yeah that is a little bit too late but I just had my yearly review done. Similar to journaling, which I wrote about previously, I had been recording or reviewing my life yearly. Basically at the end of the year, I look back at my past year and answer some prompts/questions from a template. I…
