16 April 2026. Thursday

I broke my 22:57 streak after two months. Half a year ago I decided that I should go to bed exactly at 22:57. I was building my night routine for a few months and I'm continuing to explore how I can do it better. For example, I close messengers 2 hours before sleep to guarantee a calm state. I reject all calls before sleep to guarantee a calm state. This evening I had a usual call and it ended with small troubles. But it was enough to fall asleep in 30 minutes instead of 3–5 minutes and it broke my two-month streak. Sad, but I should avoid these patterns in the future.

Exactly one year ago I spent my last day in Vietnam to prepare for a flight to Malaysia. I recorded a few videos with streets, did all my tasks, etc. My system has been working for over a year. I have become stronger and stricter, but the foundation was already built over a year ago.

Why do I do this?

I have a strong idea that we forget almost our whole lives because that's how our brain works. We can remember something only when we repeat it again and again, when we turn it into a habit.

I write my thoughts in my second brain every day. I transform my thoughts from one note to another, rewrite them, link them to other notes, rewrite them in English, rewrite them for my website, etc. I repeat the same thing again and again to stop losing my best thoughts and to achieve something great. It's a process that you can see here.
