✅ Liked — What I liked
I finally relaunched the product. The work I had been doing for three months became a single result. There are still many things to fix and improve, but it felt like I had made it over one major hill.
I met quite a few people I like this week. I found myself thinking that relationships can continue when both people want to keep them going. It made me happy to be able to maintain good relationships with people I care about for a long time.
I also joined an offline Memo어 gathering. I enjoyed hearing about how people working in different fields live their lives, and the three hours passed quickly. Seeing how seriously everyone ran motivated me, so I bought running shoes as well.
I have almost finished unpacking after the move. Filling the space with the furniture and things I wanted left me fairly satisfied. I want to make my home feel like a café, spend more time there, and make it a place where I can do the things I need to do well.
I also cooked at home quite a lot. For August, I set myself a challenge not to order delivery food, and I have kept it so far. I made aglio e olio especially often, and I want to practice until I can serve it to a guest and hear that it tastes good. Cooking itself is fun, so I want to get more into it.
💡 Learned — What I learned
This week, I joined an AI study group for the first time. We read and shared the official Claude Code documentation, and it was good to examine areas I had only understood by feel or left as a black box even though I had used Claude Code a lot. Three developers who work abroad are part of the group, so we meet at 9 a.m. on Saturday to match everyone’s schedules. Getting up is difficult, but afterward the session feels like time that gives me both something to learn and some structure in my daily life. It also seems likely to help keep my weekends from stretching out and give me balance along with knowledge.
I have a strong desire to grow, so I had been trying to find shortcuts and move faster instead of taking the time to go properly. Motivation is not good for me when it turns into pressure and stress. I want to do what I want to do without being trapped by the result, and feel happiness in the act of doing it as well.
While working through QA, I also implemented newly added and important features. There were many things I was doing for the first time, and I spent a lot of time checking each one carefully because I wanted to implement them well. I was reminded that spending a long time on work and immersing myself deeply while in good condition are different things.
🧩 Lacked — What I want to look into further
The relaunch is complete, but there are still things to fix and improve. I was focused on work and did not make enough time for sleep or exercise. Rather than trying to do everything well at once, I need to choose where to put my energy and plan my schedule around that.
🌱 Longed for — What I’ll try next week
Next week, I plan to take better care of my health and make time for myself while working, get proper sleep, exercise at least three times, and start running. I will also improve the completeness of the relaunched product. I will pay attention to planning my schedule and choosing tasks so that I do not push myself this far again.
Let’s not rush. Let’s stay healthy and keep going for a long time. And let’s enjoy the process itself a little more.
📝 Lined — A video that stayed with me
I watched a YouTube video called Being Exist, which a friend recommended. It stayed with me because it made me think that perhaps I could live with that kind of attitude toward life.
