### Health
-Currently not going to the gym regularly since I moved due to school starting,
-but have plans to start soon. I used to do an upper-lower split, but after
-reading about [fuckarounditis](https://leangains.com/fuckarounditis/), I have
-designed a good minimalist routine that will not only take less time than my
-old routine, but will help me focus on the import compound lifts and hopefully
-build strength faster.
+Currently not going to the gym regularly since I moved due to school,
+but have plans to start soon. I used to do an upper-lower split, but I've been
+researching other alternative routines to try to be more time efficient. I've
+discovered that calisthenics can give great results in an extremely small
+amount of time if done correctly. I was interested in giving it a try and
+recently ordered some equipment.
Now that I've moved to my new PhD program, which has a lot of great hiking
opportunities nearby, I have started hiking on Saturdays. Several of the other
students in my cohort also enjoy hiking, so I have been doing it with them as
well on occasion.
-### Polyphasic Sleep
-
-I have just started adapting to an [E2 sleep
-schedule](https://web.archive.org/web/20231213051455/https://www.polyphasic.net/everyman-2/),
-I am keeping a log of my
-experiences with it. I will probably make a blog post in a few weeks with a
-summary of my log.
-
-I chose E2 due to its balance of sleep reduction, minimal impact on nightlife,
-moderately easy adaptation, and decent support for strenuous exercise. After
-adaptation, I should have a TST (total sleep time per day) of 5 hours and 10
-minutes.
-
-This isn't my first experience with polyphasic sleep, and I consider my past
-experiments with it to have been quite positive. I will talk more about this
-more in my future blog post on it.

## Plans
Here are some of my plans for my life in the moderate future (next few years),

- - I started using the perl script
- [when](http://www.lightandmatter.com/when/when.html) to manage my
- calendar and appointments. I wrote a zsh alias to display my daily
- schedule and upcoming assignments due and bound it to the command w, so I
- can quickly see upcoming events and due dates.
+ - I set up calcurse and taskwarrior to sync properly. I am also running a
+ caldav server on this VPS that I use to sync tasks and calendar events
+ between calcurse, taskwarrior, and a couple apps on my phone.
- Finish my desktop rice.
- I have settled on dwm+xlibre for my desktop. I wrote a tool called
[morph](http://pollux.codes/git/morph/file/README.md.html) to generate an
xresources color scheme from my wallpaper, so I can dynamically color my
terminal and stuff from my wallpaper.
- There are only a few minor loose ends to tie up.
-- Get back into polyphasic sleep in the fall.
- - I just started with this. See the above section on this page.
Things I have not started yet:
-- Consistently practice painting digitally with Krita.
-- Start making music again.
