I've been dividing my life into different parts - fitness, technology, wisdom, food and love.

Fitness, I cannot hit the gym anymore so at home I'm doing body weight training goals. Current goal is 1k squats a day(done), 1k burpees day(70/day right now, It's 1 week in so progress is very fast right now), and a bodyweight program my gym is offering.

For tech, I'm learning machine learning applied to a environmental program I'm trying to build which I'm passionate about.

Wisdom, this is subjective but I'm going back into old philosophy books. Just finished some work by Stoics and will read the plague by Albert Camus.

food, Every other day I'm trying to learn how to cook something new. I tried baking which is awesome, today I will try to make a chilli on a pot(never did that before).

Love, this is the hardest but also the easiest in theory. I'm trying to connect to the things that I love but because life got busy, I didn't connect to as much. This included just having conversations with friends, training my dog, loving how my body can do complex movements(squats/burpees), the beauty of technology, or just observing nature.

First of all congrats of mental fortitude to do 1k squats/burpees. That's quite insane. May I offer an opinion here - doing 1k body-weight squats is like doing 'hello world' 1000 times and trying to progress in programming :) Bigger ROI if you fill up a backpack with books and do 100 of them from strength, time (and probably endurance) perspective.
Can you take a bit more about the environmental program and what you're doing with ML?
1k squats a day

How is that tendonitis?
