My diet aligns mostly with what you have described, but not perfectly.
Takeaway would be to add more proteins and to be more serious about regular hydration. Even though I have a to do daily for drinking water, I miss it.
Thank you for the detailed comment.
Thanks for the confidence booster. I appreciate it.
A doggo for you
i know lots of stuff. i just can’t access it without a trigger.
I have this exact same problem, I suppose a lot of us do. I don’t know how to access a lot of the stuff I have already learnt! Even after making countless notes.
One method that works is making analogies, but how do you do that for new words you learn or even older words! I like to write as well and I hate that my word recall works like a 100 year old librarian.
I do feel a little better knowing this.
How long do you suppose it takes to learn a framework?
I am learning flutter, because I want to make apps for myself, but I find myself quickly turning to the web or AI for help.
How much of a brain break are you giving yourself?
Not much, I am afraid. But it is something much more difficult to tackle.
Since short term memory is largely written to long term memory while you sleep, maybe try working on it an hour or so before you go to sleep.
This is actionable, thanks.
Also, how are you learning? Are you doing exercises as you learn each concept, or are you reading a bunch then trying to throw everything together after?
I have been learning by working on the theory as problem first and then learning theory proper. I also learn better by working on the problem and researching about it when I need to finish it, but I still forget stuff. Hence the frustration.
I don’t know. I have a similar journal, but I find myself dreading entering info in it because there’s too much to do and the ADHD makes it even more difficult to process and commit to.
There’s also just too much to do and too little time. There’s just too many things to cope with.
For language, I was using a textbook but currently I am just doing Duolingo to keep myself acquainted while I pick up my textbook learning habit again. Also subscribing to relevant subs and communities to stay fresh and immersed.
My issue is mostly with coding and retaining concepts I learnt for that.
Thank you.
What do you suggest hand written notes or digital ones?
I have also found myself in this situation and try to keep obsidian notes. But sometimes it feels counterintuitive, because there is so much to write. I fixed a bug, should I write it down? But I also fixed three to two bugs, should I write them all down?
Hork bajir reference gets an upvote
Isn’t that a win win tho? Less live service games?
The industry is already horrible to work in.
I have a simple rule - Not touching anything that has grease marks on it.
