I’m excited to see what this week brings as I approach the second half. Let’s dive in! 😊 Diary # Day 15 - Monday # Everything’s going okay so far, but today I went pretty hard with some toy I have — no release, of course. My balls were aching quite a bit afterward. The feelings using the toy where quite satisfying.

I’m now in Week 02 of a 30-day semen retention challenge, a practice I’ve heard can boost discipline, energy, and clarity. Week 01 was surprisingly smooth, as I shared in my Week 01 post , and I’m excited to see how this week unfolds. I’m documenting it with daily reflections, staying honest about what’s coming up. Let’s dive in! 😊

Hey there! If you’ve been following my journey on my What I’m Doing Now page, you know I’m all about experiments that spark growth, like my semen retention challenge . This time, I’m diving into a 12-week fitness challenge to build strength, endurance, and resilience while keeping it fun. Inspired by German “Kampfschwimmer” (Navy SEAL equivalent) and functional fitness YouTube channels, I’ve crafted a plan to hit 8/10 intensity in my dream training week.

I’ll be updating this post throughout the week, so you can follow along in real-time as I navigate the highs, lows, and surprises of this challenge.

Sure, the benefits of sexual energy are tempting – who wouldn’t want to tap into that power? But constantly pressuring and torturing myself? Nah, I’m done with that.

Venturing a bit off my usual agile and personal development path, I’m sharing a gem for developers facing the same challenge: automating Hugo deployments to Firebase Hosting with GitHub Actions.

The Usual Method and Its Flaws # Search online for ways to discover your personal values, and you’ll likely find a popular approach: download a list of values, pick the ones that resonate, prioritize them, and call the top 3–5 your core values.

Over the past few years, I’ve had to find ways to take back control of my sleep. Bad sleep can tank my day, leaving me grumpy and drained. After plenty of trial and error, I’ve nailed down a technique that works like magic for me—and it might just work for you too!

Over the past decade, I’ve thrown myself into creating countless websites, each tied to some big “make-it-rich” dream—weight loss, Neurolinguistic Programming for career hacks, mentoring for founders, even hypnosis services.
