This is the mensiversary of the shock to my system (aka the day I was told I wasn't doing enough work).

And what a contrast. To quote my tech lead:

1
2
you are really getting to the next level
keep doing this please

In comparison to last week, I've managed 49 pomodoros again this week. Also played another board game with peers today. Might become a weekly Friday thing. In any case, I'm pretty satisfied with my pomodoro count. People are really commenting on the work I'm achieving, so maybe going for more isn't strictly necessary. Might be good to focus on quality/efficiency of work from here and maintain quantity.

And in comparison to yesterday, I managed 12 work pomodoros today... at the expense of working late and also doing another one when I got home. But! It's good that I did, because I caught a bug elsewhere that broke the old version of the product my team is in charge of. I both pushed a new feature and fixed the old setup. Hence the praise from my tech lead.

Also, I worked late because I was addicted to the problem. It was fun. I've made work a game. I just gotta be careful to not overplay it or pick it over other things when I shouldn't.

And I'm doing a good job with keeping climbing in my schedule. My body's pretty exhausted from the last week of climbing. It's going to be a solid weekend of rest this weekend for sure. The blister on my finger prevented me from practicing the challenge I've been focusing on, so I tried a variety of new and old problems alike.

So, I wasn't really planning on personal project time today. Though I did timeblock for it, I was thinking I'd replace that with time with friend who is in town. Instead, I replaced it with more work (and maybe technically a board game with work friends). But still, I gots to make sure this is getting the time it needs, both for my personal growth and for the satisfaction of doign things in my spare time. Tomorrow I hope to catch up a bit, but next week I'd like to return to 2 personal project pomodoros per weekday again.

Though, also I might be able to do something with Monday (holiday). We'll see.

I was talking to a friend just before this review, and he noted I used the word "emotional barrier" a lot. Something to write about in-depth tomorrow.

Reading today:

  • Twitter
  • Love Joy Feminism
  • Freethoughtblogs | Pharyngula
  • Daylight Atheism
  • Five Thirty Eight
  • Film Crit Hulk
  • Mixpanel Blog

I'll have more to say about my twitter habits lately tomorrow, as well (related to the emotional barrier).

No listening.

No watching.

G'night.
