I never did do the catching up I planned a week ago, but I think that ended up being a good thing. I got some space from the problem, and my progress and my pomodoros put in this week are back in a good place.

So, the pomodoros I put in yesterday... no more of that, I think. 15 pomodoros overall is fine, actually, but it shouldn't be:

  • 13 work pomodoros
  • 1 planning
  • 1 daily review

Two pomodoros per day should be personal deliberate practice (thanks PEAK reading).

Work today was solid. I overestimated how many pomodoros would be possible (had a 1:1 with my boss), but I ended up not feeling the nap and also I was ahead from yesterday.

I have another functioning bit of my project done today. Not as much progress as I wanted today, but I have a habit of underestimating how hard tasks are.

Went for 3 sets of 5 pull ups today. Got 5 the first 2 and couldn't quite make the fifth pull up the last set. Pretty good though. I'll try again tomorrow.

Ran home as planned (in 21:23).

Stretching and planking need to be done after this review still.

Reading PEAK is good for me. It is providing insight into what I've been doing wrong and building motivation to start again. I need to give the things I want to do proper focus or not do them at all, basically. Or, rather, the things I want to get better at.

PEAK has an entire section in it devoted to the concept of "Knowledge vs Skill", something I have talked about before. So that's fun.

Lot's of good advice on how to do purposeful and deliberate practice.

Other reading:

  • Twitter

I'm slowly losing all my imaginary currency reading twitter. It's so hard for me to stop! I'll try to remind myself to read something else before spending that imaginary dough.

Watched:

I have to take a moment right now to just mention that season 2 of Iron Fist was pretty okay until the last 10 seconds. Then it was so bad I had to admit that I was glad it got cancelled. Like, wow. That's some seriously bad last 10 seconds.

Did stretching and plank (1:30) as planned.
