Last year was a lazy year. Getting close to my interviews with AQR and Mixpanel.

Tue Jun 05 14:04:33 UTC 2018

A month ago, I started to roll over my 401K to Vanguard. I still need to call T Rowe Price and actuall do this, however.

Tue Jun 05 14:10:03 UTC 2018

The rest of the list will need to be done tonight.

Let's work on that template web app!

Webpacked tutorial web app.

I had a little list of things I wanted to do... from Saturday I think.

Yes:

  • Compile the sample app properly instead of doing inline server thing DONE
  • Also add in TypeScript
    • Some people at work are thinking of switching to this and I've always wanted to build the habit
  • Get straight to work on remaking my timer
  • Actually make a home page to my site
  • Japanese learning app... is it time?
    • No, but brainstorming mode is on so all ideas get written down
  • Game engine in this?
Tue Jun 05 14:26:16 UTC 2018

Compile setup could be a bit smarter, but it's good enough for now. Let's TypeScript up this sample app.

Tue Jun 05 15:06:23 UTC 2018

TypeScript proving difficult. Give it another try tomorrow as it is time to walk to work.

Going to need to explicitly slice some focus time at work. There'll be a lot of fires to put out as mentee figures stuff out, but there'll still be large chunks of time where I could've done a pomodoro. All of my successful pomodoros today were at home, but that's because I only tried one at work and immediately got interrupted.

It's fine to be interrupted. Well, it's fine if it's on a day where it's expected. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow are all those days.

Wed Jun 06 04:33:11 UTC 2018

Yesterday, I noticed some things wrong with my process and updated them. This is great. Specifically, I noted that my daily checklist had things out of order, and that I needed to add morning stuff to my calendar (because it's hard time-block stuff that has to happen at that time or not at all, basically).

And now I already want to update the system again having properly documented it. I need to do my planning pomodoro first thing everyday. No climbing before it like I usually do.

I need to do this for several reasons:

  • The planning pomodoro is super sweaty and gross after climbing
  • Some days I'll go to a further climbing gym to climb and want to go straight to work afterwards

So, planning the day should just be 0630 sharp everyday.

Wed Jun 06 04:38:31 UTC 2018

I'm really glad I updated my daily checklist. It being identical morning and evening actually kinda just works. Like, I need to do most of those things both in the morning in the night in some capacity, and also I sometimes run out of time and need to finish some later items at the end of the day.

I love it when a plan comes together?

Wed Jun 06 04:39:56 UTC 2018

IGDA stuff is properly blocked in calendar, and also I did some stuff today. It reintroduced me to Trello, and I'm considering using it for some of my things?

I don't know. We'll see.

Might be useful for other things, though. Like general action and project management?

Things to think about.

Things are really coming together and I'm loving it.
