Last month, I was severely distracted.

Sat Jun 09 14:02:49 UTC 2018

Yesterday, I decided to do an extra work pomodoro instead of going home.

This was a mistake. My weekday schedule is incredibly tight now. Putting off going home means sacrificing some post-work thing, and I don't want to be doing that. The reason I'm not doing enough work during normal work hours is because I'm not getting enough pomodoros in. I can do way more in the time that I'm there. Staying longer one day isn't going to fix a systemic problem. Better to force myself to leave and work on doing better during future work time.

Though, that's not stopping me from doing some work today.

Sat Jun 09 14:06:02 UTC 2018

Timer 2.0 time! I made some notes yesterday about what I want, and so the first thing will be the construction of the timer controller.

Let's do it.

Sat Jun 09 15:01:15 UTC 2018

Got the controller mostly written. Need to verify it, though. I'll do that tomorrow morning, I guess.

IGDA stuff now.

Reviewing the day is a bit premature, but here we are.

I did the thing where I continued work past a pomodoro again today.... I did a whole pomodoro worth of work. I think hard rule needs to be put into play, either I'm committing to another half-hour of work or I'm stopping working on that task until next planned session. None of this, "I'm so close," nonsense. The documentation on the pomodoro method even mentions this rule explicitly. I simply needed to learn why to heed it.

Okay, so, I might do two pomodoros to this today (we'll see). The main thing will be setting up a Trello board for all the stuffs. I'm going to dive deep into Trello, Stephan, and after a bit of usage I'll decide if I regress or evolve beyond it even further.

Let's hard-define "a bit" to "at least the end of July".

Yep, going to devote another pomodoro to this, got caught up in moving email actions to Trello.

Sun Jun 10 02:56:10 UTC 2018

Got lots of email actions moved to trello, but got a lot left (all of Someday/Maybe).

I've also created several project lists on a projects board. Still got more to do there, though. But I think this was good. If I do this every week I'll slowly have things organized into a good means of having an actual overview of my goals and my progress towards those goals.

Sun Jun 10 02:59:07 UTC 2018

Today I have tied my record for most pomodoros in a day. Well, since tracking it in Mixpanel. I have definitely done 20 in a day before. Today I did 11.

That's pretty awesome.

Time for Overwatch.
