Meditation game is solid. More isn't necessarily better.

Working out 3 times in a week isn't hard. For some reason working out 4 days a week is.

Yoga however doesn't count as working out, because I can listen to music while I do it, and go slow so I don't really sweat. That, or at least 10 minutes of basic stretching I consider a daily necessity now. Woo progress. I added Track Nutrition as a goal, because that's one thing I know I should do but slack on relentlessly.

Professional development wise - Grad school applications are in progress. I need to start thinking about how many letters of recommendation I should as for, and how I should choose between them. I have a few lunchs on the calendar with senior research personnel. I have also taken a more active role in advising other sites in my study on some details, and that's some really good networking.

Bought a GRE prep book, along with a practical anatomy and physiology coloring book. I know I'm going to need to learn more about statistics, and trying to figure out where to start. I figure if I devote a few hours a week to 'homework' I can burn off some excess brain-sweat build some practical skills for the future.

Still need to take a more active interest in the more fun goals. I'm going to blame February for being gross and unreasonable, with a few highlight moments.

On to the next one.
