     <p>As an engineering intern at <a href="https://www.wibotic.com/">WiBotic</a>, I designed a stackable circuit board to hold charger modules on a shared CAN bus. It's used for running automated CAN bus tests.

+title: A way to build habits

+As 2025 was starting, I decided to exercise more.
+Here's the strategy I used:
+
+1. Choose an action that you'd like to do daily. For me that was doing a 1 minute plank, 15 push ups, and 5 pull ups. Aim low and make it realistic to avoid getting discouraged.
+
+2. Hang a physical calendar in your room. Unlike an app or website, it's hard to forget about something hanging on your wall.
+
+3. Whenever you do your action, draw an x on the next blank day in your calendar. This is very rewarding, because you can marvel at how many x's you've already drawn.
+
+4. If you're not feeling well, skip days without guilt. Being too hard on yourself would discourage you from continuing.
+
+5. Once you feel better, just do your action multiple times in a day. Each time, draw an x on the next blank day in the calendar until you catch up. If you're motivated, you can keep doing this to get ahead and build a buffer of x's.
+
+Following this strategy, I did over 365 minutes of planking, 5475 push ups, and 1825 pull ups in the year of 2025.

 Thankfully, a data structure called the [KD-tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-d_tree) sorts boids in a way that lowers time complexity to `O(n log(n))`.
 I used a KD-tree from the Rust [kiddo](https://docs.rs/kiddo/latest/kiddo/) library.

 I wrote the actual simulation and rendering with the Rust [Macroquad](https://docs.rs/macroquad/latest/macroquad/) library. I compiled everything to web assembly (WASM) so it can be efficiently run online. View the code I wrote on [GitHub](https://github.com/manforowicz/boids).
