Morning briefing for 2024-04-14
Balance is the dance, Accepting life’s highs and lows, Harmony unfolds.
Good morning, William! Here’s your morning briefing for today.
Things to catch up on
Today, in Lincoln, UK, it looks like broken clouds with a current temperature of about 13.88°C. Overall for today though, it’ll be more of the same but cool down to an average of 11.1°C.
Turning to a more regional focus, in Lincoln, there’s a mix of news ranging from heart-warming stories of pet psychics featuring a disabled kitten, to the exciting discovery of a sacred site by archaeologists dating back centuries.
In the world of mathematics, recent developments delve into the fusion of particles with mathematics, advancements in fractal geometry and dynamical systems, statistical support for wildlife preservation efforts, and progress in functional analysis and operator theory. Mathematics truly remains at the forefront of innovation and discovery.

Dailies
Wake-up
Let’s start by printing off a sudoku and completing it, maybe then trim it and put it into my Hobonichi. Afterwards, take the tasks from The Scholar’s Ledger and events from my calendar then write them into the Hobonichi, too! Afterwards, prioritise doing some chess, logging their analysis below:
Dawn
Now, probably at the library, we can do some mathematics questions followed by either a Project Euler problem and/or an International Maths Olympiad question.
Oh, also, practice your kanji!
During the day
Throughout lectures, I could get pretty bored or I just want to do my dailies. That said, they’re below (although some are mobile):
- Cut the Rope,
- NYT Games (incl. Strands),
- Timeguessr,
- Bandle,
- SpellCheck Game,
- MonkeyType,
- Bloons TD6 Border(s).
That might not be enough though, so try some chess puzzles; here’s one that might be a bit more challenging…
Here’s a puzzle to think about today, it’s a bit harder than your usual puzzles at a rating of 1542. The puzzle ID is XZDaY in case you want a bit of a hint or you want to check your solution in a more visual way!

End of the day
After a fairly chill day, work on my tutoring ads (to be published in the Meta Business Suite) or a Programming (old) project.
Wind down
Now, it’s decompression time! During some dinner, I can go through my Watch Later and watch some anime from my Anilist!
Dusk
Wrapping up the day, go to the gym (making sure to log it in my Hobonichi):

Sync my digital garden, write some gratitude in my Hobonichi, then do some reading!
