[@EmphaticTrain]

dude the shots of you guys walking in the gym + locker room are clean. literally peak film quality - how'd you learn?

[@brianruizy]

Glad you think so!! And to think I was so close to delete most of it. Thinking it was a little too many cuts. Learning has really been trying to replicate shots but most of the time it’s intuition. Is that something you’re getting into?

Had to switch to morning resistance training for the same reasons. Game changer! ⚡️

[@brianruizy]

Sleeping early is the hardest part for me though 😪 lol.

[@samuelcdesign]

@@brianruizy I hear you, that’s the struggle! I’ve been prioritizing working out early, productive deep work early, viewing morning sunlight/limiting light in the evening, and limiting heavy meals too close to bedtime-and seems to be helping. Not everyday works out but I think the habits have had a net positive on overall health and productivity.

[@brianruizy]

@@samuelcdesign sounds optimal! Did you make a complete switch to all that? Or kinda eased into it?

[@samuelcdesign]

@@brianruizy Definitely easing into it. Some days are better than others, but I find the effort to be worth it. From your video, looks like you're already listening to Andrew Huberman. He's one of my favorite voices on the topic. His guidance has helped me tremendously. 🙌🏼

@@brianruizy year's ago I did use a program called ubot studio. But as far as python it's been about 2 weeks so far. Coding is not easy for me but I am determined to learn it. I'm replacing video games to learn coding. I know coding will actually make me a lot of money and video games will only take my money. I'm liking it a lot so far.

Hi Brian, how long are your coding blocks typically? How many do you try to do per day? I’m trying to apply some of the typical programmer productivity systems in my life as an PhD student

[@brianruizy]

in all honestly, I'm not as structured as I wish I was. But I would say typically work around 3 hours of focused work per project with minor breaks in between. Any productivity systems you've tried yet?
