When creating a new system, I usually create a new blog post associated with it. My blogging being done using hugo, and the source of the code being on git, I usually create git commits for each new post. Not only that, but I may also make configuration changes, or updates on a post. I classify in the following categories : Post: Creating a new post Update: Updating a post Config: Changing some configuration for the blog Theme: Changing parts of the theme So every time I create a new commit, I add those categories in front of the commit message, helping see better the last actions that were done.

There probably could be some improvement done, but for now, I am happy with it. As long as I follow the system, and that it has some uplifting elements, I will get better every single day. Read more

To get started with systems, I’ll first lay out the current ones I have. The first one of those is my morning routine, which I have now been in for about a year. While each step is part of the system, I feel that it is separated into 3 parts, which roughly correspond to the place I do the action. The first bloc, which is pretty basic, is after waking up, before sitting down again. Read more
