Been letting organizational maintennce stuff slide, which is also why I haven't been keeping a very thorough diary lately.
I caught up on tickler today, but also have a lot in my inbox to process.
I have finally sat down and timeblocked the day. I have stuff planned until I go to sleep around 1900 PDT. Considering it's written in a notebook I'll leave at work around 1600 PDT, I'll copy down the plan here.

I have made a 24-hour template for time-blocking. Will fill copy it first thing in the morning from now on, hopefully.

Ended up getting caught up with setting up stuff for easy planning in the future, and then went down the 401k setup rabbit-hole. I was going to still maximize my 401k this year (basically devoting almost 3k per paycheck towards it), but upon reviewing the rules for using it as a downpayment towards property, I have decided against it.
I may well try to get some Seattle property now, as it appears to continue to grow in cost, and rent is raising at a similar rate. Better to make my house-spending constant than continue to pay more in rent for no real gain. Also, currently house prices in Seattle are beating the stock market. But, betting on that continuing is a fool's errand, especially when that fool (me) doesn't know anything about real estate and such can't have a proper opinion on it.
In any case, I thought I would just use 401k money for downpayment, but it looks like I'm limiited to 50k or 50% of total 401k invested. I'm guessing that's "whichever is higher".
In any case, I've spent way too much impromptu time on this. Need to focus on work tasks.
