I just finished listening to Project Hail Marry. I gave it 5 stars. It was a
refreshing read from my years long marathon on The Expanse books. It is
maticulously detailed on science, engineering, and problem solving - which I
like. Its success depends on its story and suspension. As good as it was, I
probably won't come back to it in a quite while - Not like The Expanse. The
Expanse stands on world-building. So even though I knew all the stories, I'll
still be there just to be in that world.

also, i probably spent way too much time listening to audio books recently, and that’s at the cost of my other night times, like sleep or do something else. that needs to stop. it’s good that I finished it. need to get my focus back.

recently there were the new TV shows I watched, Ashoka and Loki. Then for each episode I also watch some youtube reviews. Man that took a lot of time. Let’s cut those down too. 

also recently spent lots of time on kids work. now the competition prep is mostly done, I can save some time from there too.
