Trying to keep a balance while doing more activities.
I watched some of the videos of Master Shi Heng Yi, some shaolin master who gave a ted talk , I used to watch more ted talks when I used to be more time in my house.

There are some very good things he talks about like to let go of the past and the future, what happened , what could had happened, worrying about things of the past or the future, so to ground ourselves in the present, the 5 hindrances,

NOTE.
I personally limit the amount of how much of any videos I watched, example watched 15 mins of a long video, made a mark on my bookmarks , mark the time stamp and other day i continue, problem with internet, videos, learning, anything, you always want more and more, so know how much time you have to spend , so a few mins, etc and continue other day, so it does not overtake other activities or it becomes more than it should. I also try to learn only from one source, cause it never ends up becoming a distraction otherwise, especially in internet, just know to stop before it becomes addiction, note when you feel that you might lack affections you might become weak to addictions.
(END NOTE)
Going back to topic, the shaolin master has many more teachings.
Going back to myself, so i am doing many more activities lately, so knowing which activities to prioritize, which to give focus to, when to not overdo with one activity, for sure variety is the spice of life. how to not get distracted, higher goals, step by step, to know when to have free time. I have now driving course, chinese lessons, swimming lessons, gym weight lifting , cycling, swimming, drawing, 3d modeling/sculpting, which the art activities tend to get reduced a lot when i do more sports and especially now with the driving lessons course, and especially since i cycle everywhere mainly for transportation, and a batmizva of a niece (jewish coming of age ) celebration of 12 years old of my niece (sunday), next week holiday with all the family, etc, i am using a digital agenda for easily organizing things. Well i ll have to try to organize priorities and goals in life more, knowing just doing things without goals might get me nowhere.
thanks for reading, sorry for long text.
