Some days will be like this. I don't write too much.

But I will try my best to record. That is the most important. 

So here is a scattered list of things I did.

### Miscellaneous accomplishments

- Uploading one long unedited videos to YouTube from the beach trip with Justin.
- I just uploaded Day 8\. Created the digital art for it too. Added bookmarks. Etc.
- I responded to all comments on the Reddit thread that I posted on Day 8.
- The Redditors recommended I look into Seth Godin for Marketing

> For marketing and inspiration: Seth Godin

> For stories about entrepreneurs and also inspiration: How I built this with Guy Raz

- I sung a song in Chinese.
- I taught my student English for two hours.
- I went to the gym.
- I went to a fancy model dinner and party.
- I wrote another Reddit post.

- I learned a new word: Solipsism.

[Solipsism - Wikipedia![](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png)Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.Contributors to Wikimedia projects![](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikipedia-wordmark-en.svg)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism?ref=jacobpugmire.com)

Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. I use it in meditation to center myself immediately. Focusing on the breath, at the moment, does not seem to work for me. Thinking I am the only person in the world or what is immediately around me are the only events transpiring, however, does seem to work for me.
