Created in January 24, 2025

2025

First of a kind

This is the first weekly journal post. I intend to organize in one place all of the accomplishments and tasks performed in every week. This will allow me to better visualize all aspects of my life and, hopefully, it converging to what I aspire it to become.

Drawbacks

  • Wrong version of Ubuntu installed for compatibility with ROS2. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS in an external SSD as a solution to my recurring problem with slow virtual machines and incompatibilities between Window’s WSL and some Linux Kernel properties. For ROS2, there is still no available version which runs in this most recent OS. I will have to delete all SSD partitions and downgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

  • No weightlifting. Stressful week with exams and bad time management led me to sacrifice one of my top priorities.

Week Summary

Overall, this wasn’t a bad week, besides the weak exercise routine. Healthy/moderate food and decent sleep routine, with some possible improvements. A major highlight was keeping the room mildly organized and clean despite all the stressful events.
