Divulge your failures, your triumphs, and your struggles from the day. No event too small to mention!

Today, I had a lot of fun cleaning the floors in the home. I ran up and down the hallway with a soapy towel, got on my hands and knees and scooby-doo scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors, and was completely exhausted and satisfied by the end of it.

[]Or you could just setup a street cleaning "militia" and spit in the direction of cops for not doing their jobs. You could probably go through whatever your white ethnic neighbourhoods are and advertise a fitness/volunteer street cleaning club. Good luck at your classes.
>5 chinups
>1.3k in 8 minutes
Berry impressive. I can only manage three or four chinups and then my arms won't pull me up that far anymore. That time is also really good. Keep it up, anon.
I understand that situation with your ma. Kind of feels like our parents are just waiting to die, not living. I dunno if it'd work for you, but I try to let out my natural jubilation to get them out and about. []

>biggest struggle I truly have is myself
Despite what we all usually think, a man is not an island. I've made friends through imageboards, maybe it's something you'd appreciate, if you haven't already. We're all in this together, for good or bad.

If there's something that should always be taken into account, no matter how small progress is made, you're a better man than you were before once you made it.
It's good to understand that whatever it is, steps forwards should be celebrated, eberry little counts

We had a victory today. It was a victory marred by a couple of failures, but it was a victory nonetheless. We drank champagne. It was nice. Apart from that I’ve picked an old hobby back up (what’s one more among many?) and rearranged some of my living space. Autumn is energising me so I hope I can make the most of it.

Yes. It’s productive to have fun and relax. You should wholly immerse yourself in its healing power. If you’re not resting and being a glutton for idle distraction then that is bad because it dilutes the pleasure you’d otherwise get from it. Imagine ruining video games and imageboards for yourself!

>your triumphs
Alright, well.... A few months ago, I picked up pic related from some dude on Craigslist, an old transistor organ from around 1967. I kinda figured there'd be problems with it, and sure enough there was. I know a fair bit about electronics, but don't have much practical experience, so I thought I could manage. And somehow...I was right. Feels awesome.
>>1312
That's awesome man, really nice job, and it sounds sweet. The great thing about those old organs is that, even though they breakdown all the time, they're (usually) designed to be relatively easy to open up and repair. Always have to marvel at the time and effort they used to put into wiring back in the day too, it's something of a lost art.
>>1312
Good job.
Those resistors tough.
I had half my team bail on me while building smoke detectors today. I got them done, but it was a caca board. Apparently smoke detector companies are going back to using lead solder paste.
>failures
surprisingly nothing much today, but i quacked up my last semester because i'm a lazy piece of caca

>triumphs
payed a lot more attention in class the last couple of weeks, keeping notes, studying on time and not smoking weed until this periods exams are done

>struggles
getting easily distracted and kicking off the weed. A lot of my friends smoke so it's not exactly easy saying no

overall it's been a pretty good day, i wish all anons the same

>>1312
Looks good anon, i don't know much either about electronic repair in the practical sense. Just quacking around can teach you a lot though.

Did some weighted vest walking and fingertip pushups against the wall. Have been doing more bodyweight stuff lately.
>Struggles
I haven't been as consistent with my reading as in past months. I'm seeking more distractions rather than just putting the work in. Consistency is the eternal struggle.
Nothing's been right since 8chan went down. Been unfocused and easily distracted. Pushing on with my hobbies, but it's coming along berry slowly.

Eberry day is a little better.
Sure, right now I'm kind of a gutter, but I'm making steps forward, I really hope to get in the air force at the end of the year, my pull-ups are getting better, and I'm learning my push-ups, one hundred each time, slowly adaptating to each new form of doing them until I get to do traditional push-ups. Darkness looms in eberry corner, but you have to learn how to manage it and overcome for what you believe in, history never wrote itself by people sitting in a fetal position sucking their thumbs while crying of the horrors of the world.
Actually pointing the horrors of the world and how some people try to run away claiming that they could live anywhere since they've seen them straight kinda revived my despair againQuack

I managed to whip myself into making progress on a project at work; also managed to drag myself through another day of work. I did a good job on the models I've been painting.

My decaying home is one long, sustained failure and struggle that I can't get myself out from underneath of. I can't find anyplace else to live on my salary, but I don't know where to go for better pay. I still feel anxious and might not be able to get any sleep again.
Years ago I stumbled upon "Personalizer" by Taishi. I really liked the sound but couldn't find more of this dude.
Recently I stumbled upon a Taishi mix.
It wood fit more on a Friday/Saturday night.

I'm extremely bored today. Working from home, tasks are coming in slowly and the few that have have been shrimple ones. I'm tied to the computer but there's nothing fun on the internet anymore. I'd rather be watching paint dry.
new poster here, this feels berry comfy to post here, so well... here it is.
I felt berry bored today (maybe because i'm behind a device most of the time), but decided to visit the city and go to my ususal stores. Surprise, surprise, my social awkwardness kicked in and caused me to feel berry unconfortable near people. Nonetheless, i still managed to get my arse outside, so it was still a good day.
>Struggles
I am noticing lately that i am not really feeling like myself anymore. The past feels just like a glass wall, where all my mistakes and mishapes are contantly being shown to me as a way for my inner self to say "You already made a fool out of yourself, what is even the point of trying?" I need to fix and act on it myself, but can any of you gve me some advice on hot to deal with this?

>all my mistakes and mishapes are contantly being shown to me as a way for my inner self to say "You already made a fool out of yourself, what is even the point of trying?"
This is a berry common thing. The part of your brain that is doing this thinks it’s protecting you but it’s not too clever so it’s actually holding you back by doing what it thinks is it’s job. The trick is to make it feel satisfied so it stops.

For example, another anon once gave this tip: When your brain replays an embarrassing interpersonal moment from your past - perhaps a time when you felt ashamed or did the wrong thing - freeze it, and pick out the other person or people involved. Say to yourself, “This memory has helped me to learn <whatever> and now I can put it away.” In your imagination, go back to that situation as vividly as you can, allow the memory to habben, and then before it fades, imagine that the other person or people speak to you and forgive you for what you did, felt, said, or whatever. Make it shrimple, clear, and to the point. In this way the part of your brain that tries to keep you from repeating mistakes will be able to stop tracking that memory because it will feel that the matter has been settled, and the memory will trouble you less. If it comes back at all, it should come back with reduced intensity, and you will be able to repeat the process. Other memories from your embarrassment stack might begin to trouble you instead, so shrimply repeat the process for them. In this way you can become able to put away those memories where they belong and free up your energy for use in the moment to help create for yourself the future you want.

I usually hate christmas because of all the forced social interactions, but now that I live with my gf, I watched with her a twitch stream and a couple of anime episodes until midnight and we had a good time together.
It's hard to forget for a minute all the bad memories from the past.
I don't wanna blog-post so I'll keep it short.
Left a sweet sixteen today. Long time "lover" if we can go that far. Really a shame to lose someone this way. I can't go into much detail why, but goddamn loss really hurts sometimes. We've all, I'm sure, had to lose a girl in our lives but this one hurt more than most. There is no going back so it's time to just move on and keep trucking.
Any anons here that have dealt with significant loss of a future that was dead set in their minds? How do I cope? It hurts so much, but it's the new year and the comfy music thread is getting me through right now.

I can relate to your pain anon. I often lose a precious girl younger. It takes me years to finally starting to deal with the pain after harsh years of depression.
Today I still think about her but without the pain (at least just the little stingy feel of heart broke remains). I hope she's doing well.

Man, I can't really be helpfull with this as I myself couldn't cope with the deep sadness I was in. Take your time, try to not focus on the pain and keep moving on. KEEP MOVING ON !!!
And be prepared untill you come around your 30's love sadness will be really hurting. That's what the life teach me about.

Managed to get the new LinkedIn type soydev manager to delay a project he dumped on me against my will to please a toxic neighbor at the office
When he realized the deadline was close (the manager who joined not long ago) he thought he could have me slave away to complete it in time and take all the credit when it's not even my job.
Now it's due to January which is plenty of time to laze around and make progress on projects with other teams, but he doesn't know that because the goober took too many projects and doesn't have the time to take a good look at this one.

so took an L, then turned it into a W

Spent the early morning hours fixing the last scan-build and valgrind errors out of a program.

Written in C (no library wrappers to quack around with) and hotloaded, so that the edit->compile->run cycle just becomes edit->save and the changes are instantly reflected in the running program.

I am tired and always trying to distract myself, wanted to get good at my productive hobbies and right now i have eberrything i want: entire day of free time (for months now) and decent money, but i keep feeling tired and never do anything but being passive, eat and sleep.
It's been months and i am in shambles, i know what i need to do but when i start the first day, i stop the next one. There must be a technique, but right now seeing the profiles of some of my friends i haven't been in contact was enough motivation, they got really good at their stuff i am also trying to do, they worked hard to reach a point in which they could finally try it without burden and i realized i already reached that level, just need to "enjoy" and start trying constantly.
Today is the day, i saw one of my i suppose former buddies do the same things i did and became as knowledgeable in certain topics apart from being berry good at what i want to do. 
He's smart and a good dude but this is ludicrous, his hard-working attitude really made him reach a good level and i am filled with envy yet i don't want him to go down at all, i want to be as good and compete because i usually was as good in some things and better at most, the pandemic really stunted me hard and now that i think of it that started months before when i was spending lots of time on the screen since 8ch fell down and we started searching for imageboards.

Comparison is usually bad for the soul and the thief of joy but i am currently in a position that I'd rather not be in, we've reached levels that make me believe i am wasting myself, that dude's a talent but i will not accept defeat; not him but there are people out there performing much worse than we could do, but finding success because they tried and we didn't.

Perhaps i will get some Ritalin once a week to experiment, but right at this moment i will try a routine, berry light and will amp it often until i do something productive for 8 hours as if it were a job. I will start with 1 hour today and mix it between chores and studying. Then the chores will be gym time when i stabilize my living space because i got chubby, already dropped 80 pounds once i can do it again dammit.
Will i do any progress at all? tune in next week

Did i have any progress? kinda, way better than before but not at my goal yet, progress was considerably made. In summary i improved my physical conditions but now i need to focus a bit on the mental/knowledge progress one.

>Day 1: Cleaned half my room, did half my dirty dishes, bathe, went out to visit friends and less than one block away i witnessed a car crash, innocent driver almost got tramped but opposing car went into the back door; almost got ran over 4 blocks down, another 3 down a biker got hit, was told about a job, honestly and earnestly talked to a chic for more than 30 seconds since long ago, got invited to eat by bros.
<Day 2: Didn't plan to quit smoking but puffed the most foul, nausa-inducing cigarrette i've ever had, it even gave me itchiness and threw up bile, had to lay down and take a nap to rest from this; A Marlboro White, haven't tried them in years and don't plan to again, at least for a long while. Cleaned the bathroom and discovered the shower doesn't have a basic water block in the sewage so if i don't bath eberryday the smell builds up and the bathroom stinks like old sewage, almost like paint thinner. Went with some frens later to talk, then a smaller group went to eat and drink, we realized later that a friend of the bigger group made backhanded deals among us and broke his word. Shamefur Dispray.
>Day 3: Woke up after little sleep, did small groceries, took a day-long nap. Didn't even check the computer let alone the interwebz.
<Day 4: Cleaned the rest of the dirty dishes, out of nowhere got two job offers although one was a tentative, perhaps i will take one but i didn't expect this kind of thing so soon, even on the first day it was surprising to hear about it but now i am being requested a CV. 
>Day 5: Helped an aunt with her modem antics at her house, did some groceries, ate a meal at a restaurant i haven't checked since before the plandemic. Slept the rest of the day, at least i did something but it's been two days i don't do much else.
<Day 6: Seems both jobs got screwed, one was covered out of nowhere while my buddy didn't do the due diligence because his femoid distracted him with some petty drama, and the other one is still there but in a section i am fully aware is ran by a dummy old dude who burns out eberryone due to being goobered, guess it was too nice to be true but at least i am not urged to get a jobby job.
Ate a lot but it's okay, tomorrow will be fruit and tea day. Hanged clothing, sold stuff, got paid, checked stuff on the computer.
>Day 7: Slept a lot, sold more stuff, checked some other virtual stuff to post but didn't finish a long tutorial i wanted, need to train my concentration as taking notes distracts me a lot.

I feel i dropped weight, walked much more, sleep is all over the place but can be fixed easily, eat way better now in terms of healthiness. My goal is now to finish several tutorials i wanted to improve my stuff, order some tools, catalogue some music i want to and visit old friends in this holidays.

Did i have any progress this week? to be fair it was practically a relapse week, downloaded tutorials but put them at hold for no reason; interesting things did habben:

>Day 8: Went to a family BBQ party, then after it got berry suddenly invited to a drinking sitdown with some old friends with berry common goals after years of no contact, closely related to the man that made me realize i need to step it up in envy. Seems they do not care that much to share insights without prompt, despite being relatively successful they lost a considerably bit of their motivations and goal sight. Found that i particularly enjoy a much more comfortable position in terms of economy and lifestyle than them despite my lack of job, mostly due to min-maxing my daily resources in previous months. Surprised at this, hope this doesn't demotivate.

<Day 9: Went with past weekend's frens to talk but i am noticing slight discomfort among us as a big group, seems some backhanded deals and attitudes are making us suspicious towards one another, then our smaller group went to eat and drink.

>Day 10-12: Overslept, ate and did nothing but see videos and an old comedy series plus video game. What am i doing.

<Day 13: Pizza day, did some minimal laundry, checked stuff. Overall an upbeat day.

>Day 14: Bad luck day traditionally, the less i interact with the outside world the better, did nothing but see a couple of movies, video game and eat leafover 'zza but some misunderstandings are habbening over fren chats that make me feel uneasy. What will habben?

<Day 15: Went to greet some street buddies i haven't seen in a while, hanged out and got invited to eat.
And had to habben, the party that talking weekend frens were planning had severe failures in communication and coupled with trying to say stuff with indirect taunts rather than trying to talk about it led to a silly phonecall standoff with myself as co-protagonist telling them to squawk off, i am probably at a point of no return and tomorrow (today) is supposed to be the weekly sitdown so either i expose the situation at the request of the curious onlookers who didn't attend yesterday, go to the sitdown to bash skulls on the sidewalk or do a no-show. 
>At least the inner group i am part of understands what habbened and supposedly back my general idea, perhaps we will meet again somewhere else because none of them actually went, i was their only representative (who didn't go either) but i feel bad for people that had nothing to do with this got scratched by me. 
Respect is eberrything, slapping folks over it is sometimes the only way to request it, sadly.

Interesting week and i am amused at reading my own past words in this post, perhaps knowing my role models weren't doing too well themselves did a number on my subconscious.
I plan heavily on getting a schedule plan and put myself the smallest of goals so i can get used to do something eberryday... or at least eberry two days. I am in a berry favorable position as i practically live like a pothead without the pot or a college student on vacation, i need to make good out of this precious time, my future me depends on my present me. We can do this.

Final exams are over. I feel incredibly relieved. I think I did alright. I'm 99% sure I passed eberrything. Though I ran out of time on the first exam, couldn't finish it all. So that sucks. It was a calculus exam, and I spent so much time preparing for it. Doing past exam papers, going over proofs, going over the material that the teacher put up. But it's all over now. The grades are what they are, I can't change them anymore.
I will go back to family tomorrow. I'll only have free time for the next couple of weeks, so I can return to my hobbies. Maybe I'll pick up Japanese again.
