I managed to work deeply for 9.5 hours. I also traveled over the weekend, so my week was a bit shot. Also, I have decided to extend my retros to look at my overall life not just deep work. Since I am independent right now, I want to make sure I maximize my time spent and minimize distractions. I figured that "Life Retro" combined with action items to improve myself every week is a good idea. ## What went well - Using my Psycho-Cybernetics Imagineering script - It was easy to get into work-flow - With everything considered, 9.5 hours is still great! - Traveled to Mallorca to see my parents :) - Had good insight into my "stop-and-go" way of working - Had a good mentoring session with my friend Philip on Friday - Overall, I have a more positive outlook on my life than last week - Inspired by reading "Give and Take" \[1\] - Inspired by "Amateurs vs. Pros" \[2\] - Got up most days before 9am - Getting back into a daily Yoga and Meditation routine - I fixed my vaporizer myself - Feeling less distracted - Got to hang out with Nina for an afternoon :) - Went out to a cool bar on Friday with friends - Made bubbles again - Cooked delicious food with my father ## What went okay - I didn't follow up on my Whiteboard experiment - I haven't followed up on the Meetup idea I had - There was a lot of organizational stuff this week - Waiting for my accountant on paperwork - The dating-pool in Berlin is rough. Didn't do well to my self-image - Didn't hear back from someone I needed information from ## What went bad - I still don't have one specific idea/topic that I want to deep-dive into. Instead I jump around from idea to idea. - Jumping between tasks and ideas is exhausting. ## Action Items - Choose 1 main point of focus for coming week - Buy a yoga mat while in Mallorca to continue practice there - Create a visible backlog of tasks \[1\] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFPTSI0/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?\_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 \[2\] https://medium.com/the-mission/the-7-differences-between-professionals-and-amateurs-f8efc4840861
