My Voyage - 18

Yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/Diary/comments/673w05/my_voyage_17/

I wish to improve my focus and concentrate on the current task. For today, I would like to work on improving the ground truth and the dbmsi report. Have discussion about distributed crawling.

Night update: I am trying out mindful meditation. It is very simple you need to concentrate on your breathe and body while meditating. Currently, I am finding it very difficult to meditate even for 15 minutes. The idea is that we would have had similar thoughts for very long periods of time and would have trained some parts of the brain and ignored others. With meditation, we can unlearn few things and allowing brain to learn new things. One of my main problems is that I don't live in the moment. I, understand that living in the moment always is not always advantageous. We need to plan about future and reflect about the past. But we overdoing this will lead to false egos, guilty about the past or anxious about the future. So, I say that we should only spend 10% of our time in reflection and planning. Majority of our time should be spent in the present.

Tomorrow, I will learn about spark and experiment on how to connect spark to kafka streaming. Also find time to submit project.
