Last month, I noted that I hadn't been devoting time to reading or personal projects, but was good about work and exercise. I decided not to judge this and let it stabilize before trying to mutate further. I think that was a good plan, and now I am working on side-projects (and even getting a bit of reading in).

Sun Jun 17 02:09:21 UTC 2018

Reorganized the day. Taking Overwatch out to make room for pomodoros I skipped in the morning. Won't quite make up completely, but that's okay.

Sun Jun 17 03:06:04 UTC 2018

I really want to keep working on my timer, but I have felt the value of doing my daily reviews, and the weekly review is getting more valuable each time I do it (I'm still setting things up as far as that goes).

I won't have time to do both if I don't stop working on the timer now. So... let's do my end of day review.

Last week, I started actual work on timer 2.0.

I've made a lot of progress in a week, in all fairness. I rarely devoted more than an hour per day to it, and I've been playing with a bunch of stuff behind the scenes. Today, for instance, it looks like no progress has been made, but I'm trying to make an alarm class for both pomodoro tracking and arbitrary YouTube triggers at various points in a countdown.

I'm hoping it'll be exactly what I want, but maybe not? Lots of thinking involved here. Though, in any case, I'm working on my programming capabilities, which is good. I may decide I don't like it, and then I can rewrite it better.

Sun Jun 17 03:28:21 UTC 2018

Yesterday, my timer became functional, and I stated some confidence in being able to plug some stuff in. I maintain that confidence. Once I figure out how I want to do alarms, I think things will flow smoothly.

Which, I may have something now, so from there.... Well, I'll have a good idea of where I am tomorrow.

Empty my head....

I'm pretty excited about my developing side-project habit. I want to practice finishing and polishing alongside working on stuff, so I might be on the timer for a bit, but I'm confident that I'll get better at styling and such as I stick to such things (and also because I'll build a code base from which to reuse certain personal styles).

I like that I'm devoting a chunk of this time to IGDA admin stuff. Which is also a way of saying I'm devoting this time to grunt work. I'm not programming. I'm organizing actions that need to be done (organized via Trello) and getting them done. This is excellent for getting over my distaste for tedious work. Which is also why I want to use Trello more regualarly.

Though, soon I'll be done with IGDA grunt work, and I can actually do some programming there, as well. I have found some bugs in the stuff we already automate, and also further stuff that could be automated.

Also, I've been looking ahead thinking about what my project post-timer will be. I may wish to remake my gamified site-blocker. For two reasons, 1) I think a better means of gaining income in the site-blocker is warrented, and 2) I think it'd be valuable to make a chrome extension in panel and typescript. Further, I'd have use for timer code from my... timer code.

I have some work-related ideas that would benefit from me knowing how to make an extension.

But also... I have an idea for a Japanese learning app which itself could have an extension companion. Though, honestly, the extension would come much later. So....

I'm thinking prioritize the extension first.

I guess empything my thoughts kinda was a review of my projects (they aren't properly living in Trello yet).

Which means let's move some actions from email to Trello.

Sun Jun 17 03:56:37 UTC 2018

Moved some actions and did some Vanguard stuff (and planned when I'll move T Rowe Price stuff over to Vanguard).

Still got a lot of stuff to process, but I'm slowly making progress.

Going to reorder my weekly checklist so I don't skip so much (as I'll not run out of email actions for a while).

I plan to eventually put some stuff back in daily when it's properly organized, but right now I'm batching it and slowly putting it in a daily-ready state via weekly reviews.

Sun Jun 17 03:58:35 UTC 2018

I might do more of my weekly review tomorrow. I think devoting extra time for a few weekends will really accelerate it getting to a solidly valuable state.

Anyways, time to get ready to wind down.
