Hoping to do good work today, Stephan.

Also, going to do a touristy thing and go on the Seattle ferris wheel.

Had a slow but productive day at work today. Hoping to get this task behind me soonish (though there'll be lots of follow-up work).

End of day routine, been a while since I cleared out my notebook.

Was reading Getting Things Done, and realized I should probably setup the system somewhat on this site. At the very least, I should list out my project ideas and stuff. Maybe in my Spark File?

Spark file is more a someday/maybe or actions list?

Maybe make a wiki? More map-like.

Anyways, speaking of my Spark File, I have added some reading: "Managerial Economics". It's a textbook I saw someone studying for homework purposes. Might be interesting. Might be worth reading the reviews to see something else I should read.

There's a lot of really good stuff to dig into from The First 20 Hours:

  • The 3-Stage Model of Skill Acquisition
    1. Cognitive (Early) Stage - Learning what you want to do at all
    2. Associative (Intermediate) Stage - Practicing what you want to do
    3. Autonomous (Late) Stage - Second-nature
  • Temporary obsession (this is something I've been thinking about independently)
  • The Renaissance Soul (added to reading in Spark File)
  • Discussion of the importance of a timer or ticking clock
  • Power law of practice
  • Checklist for rapid skill acquisition
  • Principles of Effective-Learning
  • Mention of SuperMemo! (place where I read a huge thing on sleep)

The rest of the book is apparently breaking down this concept with real-life examples from the author's life. So I might deep-dive the first bit of the book and try to internalize some stuff.

Time for some TV.
