    • 5 mins
    • So lame, but I’m superrrr fried from the work trial
    • Tomorrow I think I want to return to 1 hour long sits, or at least, think about duration. I’ve been wondering if 1 hour is excessive when you’re a beginner (but then, it’s what I did during the Finder’s course, and it go me to access concentration)

    • only 10 mins, wah. should have messaged my friends to create accountability
    • Feel really fried after a day of the work trial
  • Tue 2025-08-05
    • Left it too late and broke my 8-day “1 hour long sits” streak!
      • Did 30 minutes from 23:30, intending to do an hour, but started to fall asleep during the sit
      • Goodbye to my 9 day streak! But it’s no worries. Back on the horse tomorrow, at an earlier time 🙏

Week of 28th July

Week of 21st July

  • Sun 2025-07-27
    • Sit 001 report → 1 hour, with time-lapse (lol)
    • And later on - a 15 min sit just before bed
  • Tue 2025-07-22
  • Mon 2025-07-21
    • Sit 000 report → 20 mins, 08:15
    • 10:00, did 10 mins → won’t make a report because it was short
    • 23:00, did ~13 mins → super distracted
      • This is the hardest part of the journey! Super distracted, no clear benefits, feel like I’m failing. But it’s ok, it’s normal to have very poor shamatha at the start
