Productivity

I spent the last 8 hours coding nonstop. I took a 1-hour break at 9 pm to do today’s AoC (more coding), then returned to my final project. I love working. I made a lot of great progress on my final project, and I’m feeling optimistic about it! I was able to get some difficult stuff done that I was struggling with, albeit having to make some concessions.

I’m a bit sad also because I’ve gotten rejected from almost half the internships I’ve applied to, even though my resume is arguably the strongest it’s ever been. Oh well, everything will work itself out in the end. Right?

Situation: I offer to do nice things for people, and they take me up on that offer.

Thoughts: They must be using me, and they don’t like me as a person.

Feelings: I feel sad, and taken advantage of.

Behavior: I try to cut them off as people, as I think they are using me.

Thoughts: They are taking me up on something I offer, and I go out of my way to offer.

Feelings: This is what I should expect while doing nice things for people – I don’t need something in return for that.

Behavior: I do a nice thing, and I act less obligated to other good things due to that, which overall makes it better.

I should go get some sleep. Goodnight me, love you! ♥
