Good week of work today! Still have lots of little places to improve but if I can maintain current capability it'll still be really powerful.

Sat Apr 21 04:13:42 UTC 2018

For the first time I'm doing a somewhat proper end of day routine. Though, I still don't have a checklist I refer to. I'll do that eventually. Listing what I do each day might help. Like, I just look at what I wrote the previous day a lot to see what I put down.

Though, that'll simply increase the ever-growing amount of boilerplate in my daily posts. How will you know if I wrote something gewd, Stephan?

Though, that may be my first project upon finishing "The First 20 Hours". I'm really enjoying it. I've finished his section on Yoga (interesting enough), and am on his bit about his learning to program to make his website more resilient.

It's kind of interesting. Right now, I'm focusing on the rock-climbing (and also improving work-routines and work-ethic during work hours), but soon I plan on devoting time to rebuilding my site, more-or-less. Good parallel there with the first two example chapters in the book..

Of particular note (literally, I wrote it down in my little notebook) was the author's site, Personal MBA, the book that accompanies that site (which I plan to read, adding to the Spark File), and also his list of business books to read (also added to the Spark File).

I developed an enjoyment in reading business books, so it's an interesting thing to have a list of the "best" ones. I see "Blue Ocean Strategy" on there but not any Clayton Christensen books.

Not sure how legit this list is, Stephan.

Anyways, if you for some reason follow all of my links, you may have noticed I linked to the Seattle Public library in the Spark File to The Personal MBA and also again right there because why not link it here? Also of note is that the book is available.

I'm going to wait, however. Time is tight for me, and after reading my current book I'm going to hard-devote 20 hours of it to a specific project. 90 minutes a day. Though I may do shorter, 30-minute weekdays and long Saturdays to make up for it. But in any case, I'm going to maintain morning climbing Monday/Wednesday/Friday, keep up work hours, and keep up Overwatch hours (it is time with the wife, after all).

I'm going to keep cooking regularly, which is usually not much but I always plan an hour just in case. I've been successfully fitting in reading before Overwatch (and now after). And then I wind down and watch something with the wife.

The only time I have to replace is time reading, so that's what I'm going to do. I will switch between reading and projects, I think. A book of reading, a 20-hour project. How much I'll balance that, I'm not sure yet. I'd like to do more projects than reading, but maybe that's unwise.

We'll see. I'm flexible.

End of day routine over. I didn't write down what I did before writing thoughts during my daily routine. Oh, well, next time.
