Online Class Notes (JJ)

Revised:

one thing that I consider to be positive but
probably not really a habit is that I have been trying to ask myself every time
if I really want that food before I eat anything. This helps me to not eat more
than what I need to make me happy or healthy.

The other positive habit I have been trying is to exercise every day. The exercise
I do the most often is yoga. Since last week, I also tried to add some aerobics everyday
by biking home. But if I work late and leave the office quite late in the
evening, I would have to skip that one.

One bad habit I have that many people probably also struggle with is that they fail to go to bed early/they always end up going to bed too late. Sometimes it’s because of work. Sometimes it’s because I feel tired mentally and need some
down time/need some time to unwind and don’t want to go to bed but that makes me feel tired/exhausted the next day…

The other bad habit I have is I get distracted
very easily in conversations or in calls… I used to get distracted mostly because
the topics have nothing to do with me or I am not interested in the topics. But I noticed recently that this tendency is going in the wrong direction and it’s becoming a habit. I sometimes just find it difficult to focus/have difficulty focusing on the conversations even when I know they are important.

I have difficulty committing to it everyday

Is it still a convenient time to talk?

are you still up at this time?

If I understand you/everything correctly…

I was wondering if you could take some time to review my X document and I would really appreciate any insights/feedback from your end at your earliest convenience.
