Optimization, Already Tried Or Not?

Note: This post was firs drafted on December 23, 2013. Yes, almost 5 years ago. That's how long my ideas hibernate - or wither and died. **inaudible sigh**


Optimization

That's the word I'm looking for in adapting my schedule to an idea of living a healthier life. Being a corporate minion for almost a decade now, the change in physical appearance is getting more disturbing.

I gained weight. Around the belly. Getting the button and zipper on my pants done became harder and harder.

I ate a lot of carbs and fat and almost no exercise, I tire easily.


Trial

So what I did? I reduce my rice intake. If I ever go to any luncheon where I can scoop my own share of rice, I won't take any. Avoid rice. Add more vegetables and protein sources instead. No more deep fried snacks like everybody else in the office. Leave room if necessary, as long as I can avoid the temptation. Hard, really, but achieveable with some minor tension inside me.

Yes, you can't kick the old habit just like snapping your fingers. Train and persistence. What did I do? Doing some trial, adapting in steps but being disciplined.



All I can say that my effort did worked out. My abdomen circumference got smaller. Changed my eating habit, trial this and that way until I find some ways that worked for me. Stick with it.


Expand

Now I wonder whether I can expand this optimization and trial to other aspects, such as can I learn something new while keeping up with my work requirement?

Can I further my effort at maintaining my heatlher lifestyle, incremental optimization, analysing result and keeping data? In this age, data tracking tools are abundant. Just up to me which app to use.


Let's do this!

Look, I am not a person that you might call "grammar Nazi" but CMIIW, shouldn't this ad be corrected? Is it or is it not the correct word should be " SMOOTHER "?

ok laptop computer, now take a break

  Jadi sebagai pengguna laptop kantor untuk juga beberapa korespondensi pribadi dan " few-ish" non-work related stuff , aku tahu bahwa tidak bisa meminta privasi terlindungi karena: 1. Tidak ada hukum positif Indonesia (setahuku) yang bisa melindungiku saat perwakilan kantor mau buka-buka isi laptop kantor. 2. Kultur kantor tidak menghendaki komputer dan jaringan datanya dipakai untuk urusan non-work . Ini berarti aku perlu melakukan langkah-langkah antisipatif untuk melindungi kepentinganku sendiri. Kepentingan sendiri ini termasuk tapi tidak terbatas pada kesehatan mental, kesehatan  fisik, preferensi hidup, dan hal lainnya. Tidak sulit menemukan orang yang tidak menganggap beberapa aspek dalam hidup harus dilindungi karena privasi itu penting. Sekarang aku perlu beristirahat jadi laptop ini perlu sebuah break  juga.

orang pintar makan orang bodoh

ORANG PINTAR, MAKAN ORANG BODOH caranya agar orang bodoh tidak dimakan? berada dalam grup berjumlah banyak sehingga ada kemungkinan luput dari terkaman atau dimangsa. ada orang lain yang kena makan, bukan dirinya. tapi strategi ini membutuhkan tingkat kepintaran tersendiri. kalau bodoh tapi merasa pintar dan mau sendirian saja karena tidak mau berbagi kepintaran ? ya bisa habis begitu saja dalam keadaan sendirian pula.
