self-reflection

Reflecting on significant changes during my first year of PhD studies, focusing on adapting to a new life in Vienna. The need for constants amidst change and how things make sense differently now.

To summarise, 2024 was half resting and half grinding. This year I am trying to build my intuition to navigate life without frequent journaling. More like freestyling it. The beginning of 2024 was a bit bumpy, I did not know what to envision how this year was going to be. Using money to set myself…

This year I didn’t keep a journal everyday, unlike the other years prior. I chose to do so because I predict that my life would be so chaotic and keeping a journal would just add more burden than benefits. It is true. This year, I visited 5 countries, ran a full-marathon for the first time,…

Recently, I just received my dissertation mark. It was a great score. (I got an A+!) I expected the score to be that way, however, so I don’t really feel the excitement (boo…) There are several things that I’d like to do differently so I could be happier with the process. I remember doing my…

Hey there! I am back again with my overly-complicated way of reviewing what happened in the last year. I recorded my day-to-day using a Google Form in which the records are stored in Google Sheets. Then I exported the data to Jupyter so I can analyse it using Python. You can see the Google Form…

*edit: by the way, the code for this project is now up on this Github page. Hi there! I’m back to review how my year was, but now I’m not using Google Sheets despite my love and passion for that app. I’m using R, a love x hate alliance that I built this year in…

Sometimes I wonder if I am truly an adult. Age-wise, I am. I am legal now to buy and drink alcohol in public. Or even access those “adult contents” 😉 But sometimes I am not sure if I am the adult that I looked up to when I was a child. I just want to…

I think it’s helpful to know what are the drivers of my own mind. So here I lay them out. Humans have 2 types of thinking: (1) the automatic and (2) the deliberate. We use both of them everyday. The automatic has been there for a long time and helps us through the evolution process.…

Have you ever: Been irritated easily by small things that are overlooked by others Not able to control how you feel Felt so low and cannot find ways to resolve that I used to experience all of those. I found an app that I have used for almost half-year that helped me improve myself. It’s…
