Cultivating Habit

I’ve decided to cultivate new habit of writing posts every single day.(This is the type of sentence that used to appear in my primary schoold English homework lol.) Mainly because I suspect that I’m processing too much ‘input’ everyday while basically not ‘outputting’ anything. This is already hurting my expressive abbility, in English or in Chinese.

The content doesn’t really matter though. It could be just random talk or some academic stuff, and it could be written in Chinese or English (I’ll translate anyway).

Anyway, let’s talk about recent days. My first ever paper got accepted by CVPR AdvML workshop, and I was really really excited. Come to think about it now, it wasn’t that impressive. But at least it proves that I can do something that could be recognized by peers (which I sometimes doubt). More solid work on the way.

Other than research, I’ve been kind of idle these days since most of the experiments are still running. This could be a great chance for me to break. However, I didn’t really find myself relaxed after days of scrolling screens and randomly playing some video games. Perhaps scrolling will only increase my dopamine level, after which it’s harder for me to feel happy. This is exactly why I feel like taking less information in and trying to think and write more.

That’s pretty much it, I feel like my English writing is really getting worse. Thus I won’t use gpt to polish it: this could be a record, or a baseline to be compared with future version of me. But maybe I’ll write in Chinese tomorrow XD.
