Weekly Lessons #1 (1.1.25 - 5.1.25)

Last updated: January 5, 2025

This is just a random collection of things I learned on a daily basis of the week, It is really unstructured. Filled with random lessons and thoughts. I am mostly writing this as a memoir for my future self, and as a way to keep track of my day to day activities.

I doubt it will make much sense to you, but feel free to have a look.
