its a discipline like any other

make time for other things

especially sleep

my manager will pay for my masters in cs if i go that route and multiple certs/programs for machine learning/full stack dev

my issue is outside of work

when i am at work... i'm a monster

once i leave... i turn into a sleepy marshmellow

lol

i just want to game or read or MAYBE read some academic papers or a little coding

i've been looking at learning an instrument or ui/ux / graphic design and maybe even game dev

i like hiking and take my roommate's dog with me

yeah It's hard, but I've found minimizing helps, get rid of distractions and anything that clutters your space

yeah

i'm hardcore minimalistic

desk, chair, desktop, mattress topper (3 inches), 1 week of clothing, hygiene supplies... that's it

and my car

@machtyn in that case, try to make some origamis

Its a very cheap hobbie

@Kazemaru i actually make hats or boats when i go out to eat but that's not very often - otherwise i am 100% paperless lol

it's definitely a chill hobby

raising preying mantis is fun

hmmm someone mocking my age and brain?

that sounds amazing lol

@SFM_2046 Not mocking you.

I have just 3 right now, but they are growing each week

they molted once so far

molted?

shed their old skin

ah

I garden alot too, very stress relieving

@Rockets that is cool

you own a home i assume?

condo

that is awesome

with a porch

why condo over house?

Im doing an 8' x 4' cloth pot out there next summer

oh that is awesome

was like $60, and I'll be growing about 10 different things

mostly edible and flowers for the butterflies

that's pretty cool! i was about to ask if any of those are edible 😄
