What can I get done (52-week) - 2025

Elon acquired Twitter, renamed it to x.com, and laid off a significant workforce, yet it continues to thrive, even more efficiently. This one question from him doing rounds on x.com - 'What did you get done this week?'. By asking this every week, I can infuse the urgency. The answer to this should be directional. There should be a goal I am working towards every week. This is a living document of 52 sprints. Read the `theme for the year` from the table of contents. 

Let's start ⚡

March 31st, Week 24th

I have a few (two or three) sit-downs in front of computer tasks, each lasting 15-30 minutes, but I have procrastinated. This is the week I shall get them done. 

Update on last week, Did one good run. A couple of stretches. Okay, I won't count them as quality/intent wasn't there. Did some reading - Thinking in Bets and Consumption. Got good sleep.

Cricket season has winded up. I also felt like taking a rest last week. Still got pulled into 2 matches. Wasted my time wildly last week. I binge-watched Marvel Punisher. Woke up way out of schedule on Saturday & Sunday. Full awake midnights give me energy. This week I plan to use them in a more like 'me'. 🤘

1. Get good 3 runs & 7 days of full body stretch. 
2. MCP, set up & play with them. Post something by the end of the week.
3. Clean up the House. I shall do it this week. I feel responsible as Mom isn't 💯. It is also a part of me taking out some more family time when possible this year. 
4. Read. I have a new book on leading engineering teams that I haven't opened. I have exactly two Assamese books I bought from a book fair 2 months back, I haven't opened them yet. Not sure if I will end up opening the Assamese book. Will take a hell lot of energy from me to do that. One isn't fiction so maybe I will open it. 
5. By the weekend - close all housekeeping digital work pending on me. 

Update here by the end of the week. 

March 26th, Week 23th

Honestly, I don't remember which week this is (the 13th, I googled it). I haven't been able to tick anything from the above list. Although

• Health
  • I have been sleeping well. A good number of hours. ~8. I want to bring it down to 6/7. 
  • I have also started doing a few runs. Not regular yet.
  • Physically, look-wise, I am not way far from abs. I have maintained where I got by the end of 2024. 
  • My diet can be better.
  • I have developed lower back pain & knee pain. Have been working on recovery. Getting better. It should go away in the next 2 weeks. 
  • Should hit the gym. 
• Learnings & Build
  • I have been reading books - Recently reading Thinking in Bets.
  • I have built a few new POCs, on the build side, all on my Git Hub - https://github.com/thebstar. 
  • Still running behind on the latest AI stuff, practically. 
• Growth & Investment
  • I have started technical advising in a tech startup. https://spacesos.com/
  • I have set up some passive investments. Long term investments
  • I have been looking to set up at least one manufacturing plant that in theory will give me a good return. 
  • I haven't yet worked on how many people I reached, branding. My next update should have something on it.
• Hobby & fun
  • I have played a lot of cricket matches. It will slow down now since season is mostly over.
  • I haven't progressed much in new language learning. Maybe I shall go and practice with someone. 

Week 4 (Week of 20th Jan)

1. Health - Resume Gym (have been off from mid-2024)
2. Leverage -
   • Money - I have 1L to play around and generate a return from the market/crypto/physical investment. Set up a plan/schedule this week. So that I can start thinking/executing from next week. Can I grow it X% in 3 months (X to be filled)?
3. Knowledge
   • Get back to reading AI.
   • Be on track to complete 11th math by next week.  

Week 1 to 3

I didn't get anything done in these 3 weeks that aligned with the direction I had set. I am here finalizing the direction on the 4th week, 20th of Jan. Hence, Can I say I created the clarity? Saying this, I did start re-reading the 11th Math book. Read Set theory, functions, and Relations.

Theme for the Year

1. Leverage - Wealth, brand. Questions to answer - 
   
   • How much money did I make?
   • How many people did I reach?
   • How many valuable connections did I make?
2. Health - Let's have the visible abs this year. If not this year, it isn't happening anytime. Questions to answer
   • What did I do this week to have visible abs?
   • Did I sleep well? Overslept, under-slept?
3. Knowledge - Be on top of AI and establish engineering excellence in the network. Math is back. 
   • What did I learn?
   • What did I build & publish on the web? Engineering Article, new product, open source contribution?
   • What did I read?
   • What did I learn in math?

Additionally, I will pursue items from the following list, but all of them are secondary, and I shouldn't be judged on them.

• I have a wishlist that includes playing plenty of cricket matches.
• Learning a language (my goal for 2024). 
• Continue my social & community work
  • I am mostly putting a full stop on running the cricket club. 
  • And I am putting a full stop to active social work on commitment. I won't hold any positions. 
  • I will evaluate mid-year if I want to continue the kids' enablement sessions
  • What's the most impactful thing I can do for the community?
