2026 goals
Since I feel a bit lost lately, I decided to prepare a list of things to try to accomplish this year.
- MATH: be able to complete whole math problem sheets after just attending lectures and reading
- GYM: join a gym and consistently train at least 3 times a week.
- BOOKS: read 12 books
- ROT: spend less than 3 hours on mindless entertainment
- CAREER: make one interesting project involving proofs or verification
I may add some things in here in the next few days.
I’ll try to share my progress in here.

I gathered two books: “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin and “Patopanstwo” by Jan Spiewak. I know - a bit cliche, but i wanted to read these for a while and im in mood. I joined a nearby gym and trained. I successfully completed a couple of math problems with little-to-none ai help.

Today ive wasted a lot of time watching videos about ice situation in us. I cooked a meal but im not satisfied by it - I have to make it right next time. I thought a lot about what im doing in my day-to-day and realized that my life doesnt really represent what i value so i would like to change this. Gonna do some maths now and maybe hit the gym. I hope this writing helps me get out of this brainrot i have now. I started both of my books (read preface).

I stayed up till late to work on measure theory class, but i woke up after like 7 alarms, didnt eat, had a bad hair and had to rush to university. It felt awful. But i did it anyways since i strive to be at all lectures this year. I got a point in class but failed my quiz by a elementry school mistake. I failed again. Maybe i should put a blog post of all the fails this year. To make this day better and to tackle this year goals i went to gym. I have now around 2 hours until i meet with friends. I’m gonna shower, clean my room and start tackling some probability questions. I have no idea how long will the meeting be but i want to read a bit later and maybe reaserch something for goal 5.

I gotta make this more about goals and less of a diary. I still struggle with youtube. Statistics show that i spent on averge 4.5 hours a day – that’s just crazy. I’d like to add a goal to use less youtube but i worry that something else will take over. Instead let’s do the goal that I can spend less than 3 hours on mindless “entertainment” (Goal 7). I feel like im doing more and more maths comfortably. I’m trying to read more but i kinda dont have the energy (i’ll try). Gym is great, i like it and hit like 4 times this week. I’ve added the prefixes/labels to the goals. I don’t have the time to focus on formal methods now, i might just leave this one for now. I sorted goals based on priority.

yesterday i did hit my 6h of maths but unfortunetly due to maybe being overly excited couldnt sleep. missed lecture. regretted. attended exercise class though. its 13:30 now. I need to hit my 6h today somehow.
1330 math ->1.5 (-30min eat)
1600 math (@else) ->3.5 (-20*2=-40)
1900 math -> 4.5 \
2000 gym+eat
2100 math -> 6
2230 books+sleep
Dropping goal “environment” and “friend” since they are hard to keep consistent at the daily level so i just ignore them anyways.
02-07-2026
I’m pretty much overclocking, i just studied for the last past few days… I need to study for my measure theory test still. Heres the schdeule:
1500 clean
1530 eat
1600 study
2000 gym
2100 study
2400 try to go to sleep
It’s like im overclocking but i feel fine tbh. I dont read any books but this WILL CHANGE after tuesday i promise. I’ll try to read something nonetheless before that.
02-08-2026
Yesterday was a mess. Instead of studying peacefully i started vibe coding something on a side and got sucked into it. I managed to start studying like from about 22:00 and i put myself to bed at 5 AM. Woke up at 1 PM. But i gotta keep pushing. Let’s study today to the max.
I noticed a nice image i’d like to put on my wall.

I was truly tryharding the past few days. I think i passed my semester finals. I need to focus on a couple things now:
- Keep doing maths - every day at least a little bit
- Do home workouts
- Read everyday
- Dont get into another habbit of excessive watching series or other form of rotting
- Code Ulam and maybe start doing something in verification
