Last year, I didn't write a post. But I flew into NY and got a ride over to Greenwich, CT, for an interview at a place called... something. It's somewhere in my diary. AQR. Financial software place.

Last month, I flew to Chicago to begin my memorial day weekend with extended family. My mind was continuing its racing from the EPD offsite.

Last week, I was in SF kicking off a new project at work. It was a long, but good day.

Tue Jun 26 04:34:20 UTC 2018

Yesterday, I did my weekly review. I updated my checklists and have added things to capture more of my review of the day.

I considered splitting my .daily checklist into two, but I like that it's the same morning and night. I'm fine with skipping stuff in the morning and skipping things I managed in the morning in the night.

I'm still considering the idea of devoting a day to properly transitioning my stuff to trello. I think I'm good with how things are for now, though. Maybe when I hit this post again in a future review.

I ended up putting in a lot of work today. All my pomodoros, except for this one, have been work pomodoros (and in a sense this pomodoro is a work pomodoro on work days because I'm reviewing the working day). I even neglected to pomodorize my planning block this morning (forgot to start the timer).

Even so, my final pomodoro count for today will be 12. Which will be the highest number since I started tracking it in Mixpanel.

I have a feeling tomorrow's might be higher, as I'm working from home, and... well, I've been really good about pomodoros at home for personal things. And today already showed that transfers to work just fine (I did 4 pomodoros on my work laptop at home).

That's one of the reasons I'm going to try working from home.

I flashed a new V2 today climbing. Still got my blisters from Friday, but they aren't hindering me too much. And a new blister joined them while climbing today. I can see my progress in climbing and it's really satisfying.

I have neglected personal projects again today.... I have to put in the normally allotted time tomorrow!

Today, I read Why I left Google to join Grab, and it's a good read. I'm now reading Get that job at Grab, and it has a compelling argument for looking for work even if you're happy where you're at.

I've also listened to more 7 Habits. I'm in the "emotional bank" metaphor part of the book. I've already made use of the concept today to the betterment of a relationship.

There's this YouTuber I regularly watch called Simple Flips. Just mindless entertainment, Stephan.

He had ROM hack competition results as a video today.

While winding down, I'll probably watch Extra Politics #4 - The Rules of Society, Part 1.

Anyways, I'm well past time. Time for bed!
