Overall Review
Things keep the same of last month. I didn’t study Japanese at all, my Yoga activities are on hold and, I didn’t begin to edit my photos and my reading slowed down.
I’m still working and learning a LOT of Python and Data.
I was planning that this pause would last 1 or 2 months. I’m rethinking about it and now I think that my studies on Python will go through 2021. So I’ll try to reintroduce some of my activities back to my life, starting with yoga and meditation, because being sit down everyday is making my head hurt again.
What I could do better in April?
I avoided Yoga again, but now I can’t anymore. Migraines are become frequently again.

Bonus activities
- I gather many scripts that I made for work and created “one big script to rule them all”, every time that I rewrite it, I make it more organized and more efficient.
- I’ve created a script that gather those work data and create a Microsoft Word document.
- I’ve been working with Plot.ly Express with success. My biggest difficulty working with data is to work with the data. To clean and fix it and to learn the best way or working with it to make it more useful.
