Week at a Glance #1343

September 4 – September 10 (Sun – Sat)

Week Summary

Career || Work
Work
=> A mix of work from home and office due to Bangalore rains 🙂 got home a monitor and a new extension.
=> continuation of lot of meetings, follow-ups and mentoring sessions
Career
=> I was looking for any meetups to kill time on the weekend and I found one focussing on DS-Algo and System Design. Last sunday was on Binary Trees and it was very informative.
Workout || Diet
Diet
=> 1100 cal: we entered the last 6-week phase of cut with a 1100 calorie diet. And I hit it 95% of the time 🙂 though I had many cravings in between.
how did I handle? instead of ordering something I put a time and had 25% whey scoop followed by water 🙂
=> Adding taste: I used to just boiled chicken (haldi+salt) marinated for lunch. started mixing it up with soy sauce this week. I’ll start documenting good recipes which are healthy, tasty and calorie-mindful.
Workout
=> missed 3 days of workout 😕 on Thu-Fri-Sat for being lazy
Personal
=> Bangalore rains 😄 you must have already seen a lot of memes. our street was water logged.
=> Even mobile signal was not working and I was chilling with my flatmate on the terrace. During a half-day power cut on Monday, cleaned up my room and it helped in decluttering my mind a lot.

Scheduling Learning
I like to listen to podcasts in the gym and take notes as well. But sometimes I don’t have any podcast in queue and I end listening to music.
=> Why not queue up interesting things at the start of the week like newsletters, blogs, etc to read
DS-Algo Mnemonics
Just like we have mnemonics for vocabulary, why not try doodles/mnemonics for popular ds-algo questions? Any resource you know?
