Work goals:

  • LEAD:
    • 10 pomodoros
  • LAG:
    • Split current PR into its multiple chunks
    • Refactor and complete config settings port
    • id-mapping port begin

Climbing tomorrow.

3 sets of 5 pull ups again.

Run to work and run home. Attempt speed, but it'll be awkward running with my switch.

Stretching/planking before bed is working, so I'll continue that habit.

Reading is the main personal project for now, should finish PEAK by sometime Saturday, I think.

If I feel like reading twitter today, I'm going to instead read one of the articles I have saved in wunderlist.

How to estimate notes.

What TLM does. Exploration approach, doesn't work.

Planning process.

Look at how long the planning procees takes, and estimate off of that.

Have the whole plan before estimating. If you missed something and only notice while implementing: that was a planning failure. (Think about how PEAK discusses surgeons overcoming things not going according to plan.)

List:

  1. Play with current functionality
  2. List out what needs to change
  3. Break down how it'll work, what work needs to be done
  4. Grok the code
  5. Make the plan
  6. Get feedbackk on the plan from people in the know
  7. Estimate the hours (or pomodoros) needed
  8. Put in an uncertainty multiplier on tasks
  9. Know how much time you can devote throughout the week (subtract meetings and context switching, and other priorities)

My sleep has been unstable for over a month now.

Sat Oct 27 07:04:18 UTC 2018

I got 7 pomodoros today and had a change of priorities. Need to start next week making a solid plan.

Only got 2 pull ups into the third set.

Did both runs in under 20 minutes. A rare day where I ran home faster than I ran to work. Gots a ways to go to catch up to speeds I've already achieved, but I have a path forward.

Twitter plans worked, but ended up spending more time on reading an article than I would've on twitter.... Hmmmm.... Worth it? Let's keep at it and see.

Almost done reading the book! Will want to start making time for things soon.

Watched:

My tech lead offered to give advice on better estimating, and I took it (the notes above are from the meeting) and I'm glad I did. I have a mentor, I have a beginning mental representation and process. I'm going to get good at estimating.
