Re Human Day 78

Re-inventing ourselves has always been the most important skill. I’m re-inventing myself by improving in 15 areas at a time. This post is part of my Re Human project.

Daily Habits

Books: Sunday I started Seeing what others don’t. Today I continued it.

Performance improvements rely on Reducing errors, and Increasing Insights, which are completely different things.

Insight is what happens when everything afterwards is different.

Contradictions often point to insights.

Meditation: 10 minutes in the morning, 20mins in the afternoon. These were three sessions of Sam Harris’ waking up meditation app. I got the monthly subscription and I’m trying to get through the 50 meditations before the next monthly charge :).

Re Human Extended Activity: Mondays I am a VR Artist and Architect.

Today I loaded my current VR Library, looked around, and realized that if I want to change how it looks, the walls, etc. in a good way, I should learn Blender. So I started a Blender course on Skillshare, on like 3x speed and watched the first hour and a half of it:

I took notes of the shortcuts because those are super useful and although I feel like I’m going to remember them next week+forever, I know that that’s not going to be the case at all, for all the shortcuts.

Writing: This post, code, and a daily thought.

Digital Drawing & Painting:

Read through a big portion of part two of this series on how to draw from imagination — but didn’t get to do exercises.

Fitness: Today I Tabata method exercises for jumping bodyweight squats and burpees at the end. Super hard. Also did “as many pull ups as I can” and did 45. Also practiced handstands, human flag, and abs.

Piano: Practiced La La Land’s song.

Soccer trick juggling: On Saturday night I helped my roommate build his new bedframe and a big wood piece fell on my right foot’s toe. Today I tried doing juggles but it hurt too much to do them. So I saw this as an opportunity to focus my practice on my left leg. Felt the improvement of my left leg :).

Random Surprise

Cool “10/10/10 rule” useful for making big decisions:

The 10/10/10 is the framing of the outcome of a decision across three timeframes:

How will I feel about the outcome 10 minutes from now? How about 10 months from now? How about 10 years from now?

The answers to these questions provide a different perspective and usually help in finding a good answer without being misguided by circumstances at the time of making the decision.
