1st Week’s Progress

Day 1

Working out -> ✅ I felt the pain even in the easiest settings.

1 hour of walking after the brunch. Bad food caused some trouble. Hope it’ll go away before bed time.

Mobile App Work -> 1.5 ✅ I guess the beginnings are easier, BUT HEY! You need more wins at the start of the process, don’t you?

I prepared a primitive calculation in the spread sheet that calculates the score of the each activity, week, and the whole year. Weights are the following;

• Mobile App Work -> 50%
• Running -> 15%
• Workout -> 15%
• App release / Progress update -> 20%

Today, I contributed 1.30952381 to the year’s score. 83 more days to go!

Day 2

Running -> ✅ Almost 17 minutes of running is not bad.

The first week down, 11 more to go. Even though I do not have much output I’m happy with the progress. There are 2 major items I’m happy about.

KMP

First of all, I’m so happy that I am writing jetpack compose. There were hard(ish) challenges like using swift code in the common module. I’m going to blame LLMs for being slightly out of date and a little misguiding. Eventually I was able to have a better understanding of how things should be from youtube videos. Thanks Ioannis and Philipp.

Consistency

I was able to follow or compensate the commitments even when I was sick or out playing dart 🎯 . The most important part of it was that no one forced me to do any of this. Being reliable for myself gives me a confidence.

Next week, I’m planning to share some screenshots too. No promises though. However, sharing the weekly progress is a promise, commitment.

Have a great week everyone!
