"Stop Romanticizing Tech" 👩‍💻 Software Engineer's Realistic Day

i've heard a lot of peers in tech say they wish people would "stop romanticizing tech" because of their personal experience with burnout and stress and more recently, AI and layoffs. all their complaints resonated with me and for a time, i also saw each day as a painful slog.

but i think just a pinch of romanticism and optimism can go a long way towards seeing possibilities and opportunities where others may not. we're already here, after all, at this point of uncertainty and chaos. if we tell ourselves that we can't see it any other way, we only suffer twice.

so regardless of your circumstances, i hope that as you acknowledge the reality, you also see everything that could be 💛

morning!! 🌇

woke up 30 minutes before my alarm!! ⏰ been trying to fix my sleep schedule / body clock, so this is a major win!

leisurely morning routine and breakfast before work is sooooo important!! 🥞

peer-review code (~13x!!)🏃‍♀️

fixed a major bug!! 🐛 and two other bugs i found because i'm an overachiever like that 💁‍♀️

went to an interesting lunch and learn!! 😋

afternoon... 🏙️

hot-fix!! 🔥🚒 (for a component that somehow got left out of a recent migration...)

meeting with some beta testers that went really well ☺️ i'm so proud since i led the project and endured a lot... like, A LOT for it 🥲

another meeting, this time to finalize documentation across teams in preparation for release... kinda boring tbh, but necessary 🤝

set up even MORE monitoring in preparation for release + clean up some tech debt while i'm at it 🖥️

evening~ 🌆

meetings with my manager and manager's manager 💼 i can't deal with office politics, tbh, so i just view these as catch ups with older friends who i happen to work with...

internal testing meeting for a colleague's project~ 👏

company-wide meeting~ (basically my time to be nosy about all the other departments) 👀

💌: until next time~! 🧡

cheap and easy ways to romanticize your life ~it's about the little things~

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ speak to yourself lovingly. you have the potential to be your best cheerleader because your mind is the only one you can read. when you find yourself feeling down bc of automatic negative thoughts, try to think of something about the situation that is genuinely good, however small it may feel. on a similar note, every night, try to come with at least 3 good things that happened or that you felt that day. they don't have to be big things. even just the absence of smth negative is a positive. (this is still taking sm practice after getting stuck in a pessimistic habit and struggling to keep myself accountable to change it, but it's so worth it, i promise. 🥲)

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ start your day with music that puts you in the mood to...well, start your day. | personal favorites 🥰 morning coffee lofi • happy morning jazz • cozy jazz for when you don't want to think about anything

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ get cozy. 🧣 hold something soft. 🧸 savor that texture, that comfort.

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ forest bathing 🌲🥰 look out your window or better yet, step outside. breathe the air. get some sunlight. look at the sky. the clouds. trees. stars and moon. all the colors. all the shapes. listen for birdsong. the crunching of snow or grass under your feet. isn't it wonderful that we get to experience all this? when i'm feeling lonely and i step outside and look for any sign of nature, i realize just how much i'm not alone and there is good in the world.

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ set up a nice ambience. there are many for free online that can sound as real and comforting as you want them to be for the days when indoors studying or what have you. study with me videos have literally tricked my brain into feeling like studying even if it's really just pseudo-external accountability (i can never wake up to watch them live lol).

˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ you are worth taking care of. so take care of yourself. start with smth really really small like leaving a glass of water by your bedside to drink first thing after waking up. then gradually add in slightly bigger things as you feel ready like taking care of your hair (literally did not know about proper washing technique until i watched this 😵) and skin (bare minimum: cleanser, sunscreen, and moisturizer), getting enough sleep, and exercising. "true self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from."

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2024 - 3/100 dop

First day back at work today, and I thought I'd show off some of my journals for this year^^!

Did so much at work, felt very productive - finished books, started new books, organised the classroom and the like!

Didn't exercise today, but I think with all the hugs I gave to 5-year-olds today, I must've done 50+ squats and a couple deadlifts or whatever.

Finished reading Winter by Ali Smith

Read to 25% of Court by Tracy Wolff (I am finishing this silly little paranormal romance series or it will finish me).

Made pasta for dinner (it was 👍)

Did almost 2 hours of writing ^^

Did some recreational journaling~

Flipped through some verb flashcards during my work breaks for a total time of almost 10 minutes :)

📚 Court by Tracy Wolff

Today is six months sober,,,, wowowow,,,,, I feel so relieved and proud of myself,,,,, I thought I was going to get high until it killed me ,,,, I thought that for a long time,,,,, I think I wanted to be sober but it felt so out of reach ,,,,, being sober has actually gotten to be amazing,,,,, obviously it’s not perfect but I don’t miss the substances like I used to and I enjoy feeling this way,,, I never thought I would feel that way ,,,, things got so much better ,,,,, my past self would be so relieved

Feb 19, 2023

Today I

Worked on/submitted resiliency report (so many pages!!!!)

Worked on/submitted resiliency presentation/video submission

Worked on/submitted essay on integrating green architecture with sustainable technologies

Caught up on some reading!

Practiced French and Spanish

Took a deep breath

I did it! It is done!! I have been working on this resiliency report pretty much nonstop for the past three days, and I finally turned it in! Whew! I’m happy, ultimately, with how it came out, and I think that’s really what matters most about this experience. I’m still learning how to not let perfect be the enemy of good, and this project was good practice for me. (Photo left: bookshop!!! Left: touring around cities and admiring architecture and history.)

it's only february but i already feel like i need a fresh start.

I made some super lofty goals this year and it's really quite overwhelming (and i basically gave up), so now we're starting small and taking things step by step rather than trying to go from zero to a hundred.

fitness plan 🐾

For every hour of sitting, do some combination of brisk walking, biking, or yoga (or a beginner bodyweight workout) with proper form (core!) for 10-15 mins.

Eat and sleep well (10h!) so I can recover.

Remember why I'm doing this: I want to heal. Physically (health problems be gone!) and mentally (I need to strike a better balance between school and...everything else.).

Track my progress somehow. Probably in my bujo or journal or some other place offline.

study plan 📖

Aim to study for at least 6 h / day, M-F. (Vibes: intense productivity)

Block out 1 day of every weekend to spend time with family. 0 studying.

Life admin + at least 2 h of self-study or getting ahead on schoolwork on the other day of the weekend. (Vibes: chill productivity)

---

Aaaand that's all for now, lest I overwhelm myself again!

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024, 2/100

Another day, another book finished! Here are some other things I finally got around to doing today :)

Finished reading Miss Kim Knows by Cho Nam-Joo

Did a 15-minute daily yoga workout

Cooked pancakes for breakfast and had leftover soup for dinner

Went to my very first Korean lesson! We practised some connective grammar such as (으)니까, 어서, (으)러 and I showed off my very, very small vocabulary lmao.

Cleaned my bathroom!

Did some journaling and a face mask at the same time (Aloe Vera please fix my skin 🪴)

Talked to some friends online :)

Tomorrow is my first day back after the holidays, and I'm excited to see the kids again even if I'm not too happy about the 6:30 wake up time ㅠㅠ 내일 봐요~♡

Days 55 to 70/100

Saturday to Monday, 25th of March to 10th of April

Been MIA, I know I know. Life just happens and suddenly posting here has been more like a chore than a happy pastime. Nevertheless, I’m here ready to finish a month’s left for this challenge 🤸🏻‍♀️

🍀 Camera’s glare is cute

🍀 Went inside after 15 minutes after pretending to study because the grass was itchy 🤣

🍀 Fast forward to last week when I finally got to help and continue our Holy Week tradition 💛

🍀 Spent the rest of my break at my dad’s childhood home. ‘Twas a breather that I badly needed 🧘🏻‍♀️

Things I’m grateful for

🌷 My nine-day break

🌸 Packs of ice cream I devoured that made me feel like an 8-year-old

🌺 How the sun never grows tired of shining

🌻 Good food that instantly makes my day

Random Ramblings

My, how time flies. I still am in no shape or form or state of mind to go back to school. But I have to. I just have to.
