Algorithmic Living

Algorithmic Living is a book I'm writing. A few years ago, just as my career was taking off, I realized I had neglected other important aspects of my life. I asked myself what good is an Engineer who cant solve the problem of his own life? What good is success if I cant reap the benefits of it? Determined to take control, I embarked on a journey of personal optimization. I began by defining 7 key areas: Relationships, Health, Finance, Career, Home, Travel, and Entertainment. To track my progress objectively, I developed a system of metrics, gathering data from various sources to provide an unbiased view of my growth. I believe that this data-driven approach, combined with consistent effort and perseverance, will pave the way to a more fulfilling and successful life. Below are some of the key metrics that guide my journey.
