Last year, I dicussed my crazy interview schedule. Coast-to-coast over a weekend, yo. Also, apparently I had a dream about someone wanting me to stop writing my diary because it was annoying. Don't remember that at all.

Last month looks like one of those "hard to focus" days. Lots of aimless meandering. It's cool that I kept the habit of filling in the timeblock on these days. Makes a day without writing possible to review.

Last week, I found out that typescript as I had it set up can't import jade files as I have them set up. Had to work around that problem. It's pretty cool to see the progress I've had in a week on something I devote an hour per day to.

Lots of good stuff here, including a link to a good previous post.

Time to run to work.

Timer has been refactored. Now time to add setting timer capability.

Whilst making an input component, I realized I don't need so many StateController classes. Regular classes with limited state will serve my purposes fine. I also don't need to be sending very many events... maybe.

Maybe events are fine, actually.

Anyways, this is eating into my end of day review. So let's start that.

Today, I'll have gotten 7 pomodoros in. Which I've discovered isn't bad. A problem, however, is that only 1 will have been achieved at work. This is a recurring problem, though today it may have been unavoidable (a lot of meetings to break my concentration today).

At the same time, throughout the past week or so, I've been relistening to Deep Work by Cal Newport. I've recently gotten to the part about setting aside time for deep work and the various strategies involved.

At home, I have strict times for pomodoros, and thus I do pomodoros during those times. At work... things aren't so properly set. Thus, I need to properly set my pomodoro-rhythm or else I'll get less than I want. If I want, I can try to squeeze extra in at unplanned times, but I think first I should make small, absolute timeblocks where I will do pomodoros. None of this overzealous whole-day of pomodoros plan that I've been doing lately without real success.

My goal is to have a proper rhythm to it by Monday, the 25th. Why that time? I'll be in SF Monday and Tuesday for some all-day meetings next week, and then I'll have the rest of the next week to figure out a proper balance.

I have my goal, I shall spend the next week and a half collecting data and considering how I should mould my environment to meet that goal.
