Went to bed but didn't fell asleep as expected. Played Civilization all night and then got up to have a bowl of braised noodles (烩面) for breakfast. Then played piano and practiced spoken English in the study room. Fell asleep around 10. Same as yesterday, returned to the study room to sleep after lunch, and woke up around 4. Played Fitness Boxing and practiced my English then. After dinner, read forward or prelude of the books I recently bought. Bought only four books this time, including one to meet the minimum requirements for free shipping and one which I mistakenly bought with the same name as another. Played FIFA then and did the cycling exercise. Afterwards, wrote journal. Completed 8 pomodoroes today - one for piano, two for English and exercie each and three for reading. Completed exactly 50 pomodoroes this week, and the goal for the next week will remain 50. However, there is a change, pomodoroes for research will not be included. I suppose the point of pomodoro technique is to split tasks into small chunks that are easier to start. But when I am doing research, or coding related tasks, I don't even want a break and thus it is quite easy for me to start. Nevertheless, I will still use pomodoroes to count the time I spend on research. In this case, one pomodoro might mean 30 minutes of work rather than the typical 25 minutes of work and a break (not necessarily 5 minutes long, I usually take a break longer than that).
