Planning the day is now a pomodoro. I like half-hour chunks in my timeblock, so it's roughly where I started the pomodoro. For example: I still have 10 minutes left of the planning pomodoro.

Which will be used for email perusing.

Wed May 30 23:56:39 UTC 2018

After this pomodoro, I'll have achieved 8 work pomodoros. I consider myself "clocked-in" around 0900, and will "clock-out" a little after 1700. Meaning I'll have achieved about 1 pomodoro per hour.

I'd like to do at least 10 pomodoros at work. Or rather, not counting start and ending pomodoros, I'd like to do 8 pomodoros. It might be good to have start and ending pomodoros at home. Not to get more work pomodoros in (though that would be a side-effect), but because I'd like to build the habit at home to plan my day and review my day in pomodoros.

I did it at work today for various reasons (mainly I didn't want to arrive at work any later than I did). I think I'll try to be better about doing both of these things at home.

Also, to be fair, I was literally a minute away from another success (the interrupted pomodoro above) before I was called to an impromptu meeting. I take the "no partials" rule very seriously. If I want a success, I need to stand my ground. In this case, I think the meeting was important enough to allow the loss of a pomodoro.

I've built a "projects for tomorrow" list in my work plan file. I'm trying to track what's on my plate each day and make sure I haven't bitten more than I can chew. I have 4 items in the list, one of which is "transfer ownership of bug to proper person". That'll happen between pomodoros or during planning tomorrow. One item needs only one pomodoro as it doesn't need to be done tomorrow and I don't know how much work it is. Another item will probably take several pomodoros, and also has scripts that take hours, so it'll be the first thing.

The last item is the ongoing project I'm currently working on. It gets the rest of the pomodoros I can manage.

If I'm going to do end-of-day reviews at home, I'll start running home a half-hour earlier. Both planning and reviewing still count as work on work days, it's just work I can do from home.

Time for more updates to my timer.

Want to capture successful and unsuccessful pomodoros.

Right now just console.logging result. Want to think about exactly what I'm capturing before sending it to my Mixpanel project.
