CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine

This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

--------

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

PHOTOS of the day..( sorry for the watermark but these are some of the photos I took in lockdown..) 🥺🥺


These are unbelievably lovely photos. Did you use the manual mode with different ISO settings or the portrait mode or something else? I can never take a good photo in portrait mode. So I use the basic default mode to take pictures. But they never come out this great. Hats off to your talent.

Adding my contribution to the photography thread :P-

Can see the photos on phone browser but not on laptop...weird. Something wrong with forum UI.

The photos are great, my favourite is the duck. Such a nice click. Do post more of these. :)
