300 repetitions/piece
I would say the practice is not boring not painful but enjoyment in itself.
— for a song with full score for both hands, I usually target 1000 repetitions/piece
— for a simple melody-n-sing piece as described in https://btv-open.dreamhosters.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=23731&action=edit&classic-editor
aim at 300 repetitions/piece. Don’t need to be really flawless.
ccost[def] like tcost #incur
tcost is /incurred/ rather than “spent” !
ccost = the number of calories /incurred/ in a given food item.
[21]control: ff ibt home@@
As stated in eg@宝山battle over supper, the “better control” is usually lost when I face the 10x hazard rate. Having said that, office does offer better control:
- wrong-X temptations.. much less
- delay meals .. easier. Nowadays I can delay meals at home too…. improvement !
supper floodgate
Tip: Better end your planned supper with lots of comfort foods, rather than raw veg. I used to have lots of raw veg towards the end, hoping to fill up my stomach, but actually the stomach is impossible to fill up, and the unsatisfying raw food demanded /compensation/ in the form of comfort foods.
Q: Why do I end my supper with lots of energy dense comfort foods including starch, but I didn’t feel the same craving in the beginning?
A: I guess the floodgate was opened and hard to close.
63kg was very hard for 20Y
I remember my conversation with Andrew Yap when I reached 63 kg. It was really hard to reach 63kg. Nowadays I routinely cross 62.9 kg
drop-out risk@UChicago #cf fren
Q: When I started at UChicago, what’s the probability of drop-out like Shou.Liu, Henry.Yang and Chris.Ma did for their PhD programs?
A: More than 30%
So the long journey demanded a lot of commitment, perseverance ..
I needed a reason to continue. In hindsight, the branding is fairly valuable in terms of self-image.
Boycott to FOMO
k_X_power_descriptor .. k_X_FOMO_v_livelihood
My current carefree life rests upon boycott to FOMO. I don’t need to subscribe to the FOMO brainwash.
However, my benchmark fixation, SDXQ fixation.. are major breaches of this boycott.
listen(remeber) boy’s arguments
I said boy’s top priority is gaming, but he said he always finishes his homework first before gaming, except the morning-tuition days like Sat.
Each time he has a valid argument, I really need to listen and respond to his argument without bias or too much emotion. Also I need to acknowledge the limitations in my arguments.
renzi=%%#1priority: was/is@@
From P1 to P3, among all the academic skills, the #1 skill I worked on most was renzi. Clearly more strategic than English, Science or …
Now in P6 I think my son’s renzi capabiilities is stronger than most of his classmates.
