Weird things I do:
I (try to) EAT THE SAME THING EVERYDAY
For breakfast, I drink eggnog. I whisk 4 eggs and pour it into hot chocolate. It sounds disgusting, but it's f**king delicious. Tastes like a thick hot chocolate.
For lunch, I eat 250 grams of 20% beef mince with mashed potatoes. And grapes. It must be sable grapes.
For dinner, another 250 grams of beef, but this time, with 0.5 a cup of rice. And grapes. Don't forget the grapes.
The only time I deviate from this diet is when I eat out with my girlfriend. I love trying new food with her - it's her passion and I love to be a part of that with her.
I LIKE TO WALK
I don’t feel human when I don’t walk. I feel like a caged animal. I try to start and end my day with walking. There’s a caveat to this though. I don’t like walking to a destination - if I have to walk 30 minutes to get from one side of town to another by X o’clock, I’d rather take the train, bus, or drive.
I only like walking when it’s aimless and not-time-bound. I try to get at least 10k steps a day. I also enjoy having conversations on walks. I feel like my brain works better.
I HAVE ADHD
And I didn’t know until I was 20 years old. Explains a lot.
I CARRY A POCKET NOTEBOOK
And have been doing so for the past 8 years. Thanks to Reysu on YouTube for sharing his notebook system - I unapologetically stole it.
I write everything into this book that I want to save / remember for later (who I met, what I did, to-dos, book notes, thoughts I have, groceries, my day plan, meeting notes, ideas, etc).
I then transfer anything important into my large journal or to-do app. I should take a pic of them someday - think I have over 15 pocket notebooks in my archive.
I WEAR 2 WATCHES
I wear a mechanical watch on my left wrist, and an Apple watch on my right. Refer to this post
