Go running 2-3x a week

This will be dropped. No time to do it. Need to find some other kind of sport

Meditate at least 5 days a week for 10-15 mins

This is going great. Except for the past 4 days, as I was visiting friends and had the whole time planned. Still a bad excuse for not taking 20 minutes to do it. But I didn't have the need for a clear mind because I liked being surprised, engaged and maybe a little confused while visiting my "german hometown". Maybe I need to question my motivation for meditating

Set up knowledge base about MDMA, LSD, Psilocybin and Cannabis

Girl that I was supposed to do a journal club with did not contact me. Might be another indication that I have to do things by myself. Making this goal dependent of her might be stupid.

Find a PhD position that suits me/Leave current job

this one replaces my last goal that I had (reading Marx). I wrote my letter of purpose last week, its being edited by a friend right now. Two of my past supervisors send me their letters of reccomendation. One of them had a long enthusiastic letter (with details about my work etc.) while the other simply wrote a paragraph of "I recommend Cumol for a PhD position" and I have a feeling that it doesn't do me justice somehow... The two letters are so different, I fear that people would question the "good" letter.

Applying for the first position once I have all the paperwork. Wish me luck :)
