General progress reports
Bits and bobs
I'm doing a bunch of stuff, but none those really require a whole blog posts for themselves at this point. So here's a collection of updates on different exercises.
Dreaming
I'm still remembering a lot of dreams, but haven't really made any huge breakthroughs concerning lucid dreaming. I had one really cool . . .
I dislike a service!
It's curious.
Since beginning Hacked Man, I've sort of loved all the different apps and services that I've tried. I might not have kept on using all of them, but they've felt cool and useful and I've been impressed that clever people have built these things for me.

Thought hooks

Scale!
Weight has been one of the least interesting things for me personally (as I've always had about the same weight . . .
Why a diary?
What's the point? Are there perks?
I'm using Hacked Man as a tool to ensure I keep writing a diary. First 20 years I managed fine without any diary. Then at some point I realized that I don't really remember anything about those 20 years.
