In time, simple boiled, unsalted food tastes like the best possible thing you could ever eat.
what SAD (standard american diet) users fail to understand about "eating clean" is that eventually it has nothing to do with being healthy or looking good and everything to do with the fact that oreos, doritos and pop tarts start to taste like sodium and ass. it takes a period of adaptation but once you transition from frozen dino nugs to ground chicken, a whole new world emerges and literally everything about life gets better. when you “eat healthy” for long enough the food you once thought was “gas” simply gets shoved in a locker by a homecooked meal. being healthy and fit are just a byproduct.

I do this as well! I don't measure my typing speed directly. Instead, I set the repeat delay to a low value. I usually set it to 90ms (if a key is held down for >90ms, it repeats). If I start repeating letters while typing, I know I'm done for the day.
weird habit I've adopted:
I don't trust myself to gauge how "awake" or ready I am for intellectual work based on feeling, so I use average typing speed as a proxy measure.
120wpm: cancel all your meetings, god day
100wpm: solid work inc
80wpm: refactoring
60 wpm: call in sick

my best study tip: never take notes, never revise unless you want to; forget, pass, fail, it is all one in the end. corpses, all of us.
The best study tip I have ever gotten was from my dad. One evening, teenaged me got frustrated while making a study sheet (remember those homework assignments?) because mine was quickly becoming a hodgepodge of splotchy left-handed scribbles — the polar opposite of the neat exemplar that I was given in class. As someone who always got, “Your handwriting is too messy -5,” from teachers, I looked at the chaos spreading across the page and felt defeated.
Dad saw my distress and calmly said, “Just write down anything that you want to remember. It doesn’t matter if you’ll even be able to read it later, it’s the act of writing it down that matters.”
Learning how true this is changed my perspective on a lot of things — including most study tips.

It's my brain-computer interface. I don't even know what's happening when I type. Heck I couldn't tell you pressing what does what. It just happens.
being really good with computers is an absolutely incredible skill because it lets you make your own life unnecessarily complicated in ways normal people could never imagine
