Thinking

Today is one of those irregular days. You know, Stephan, the kind that typically destroy my productivity for the day. But that's what "practice flexibility" is for.

Now, in all honesty, the day was funked with via me waking up and literally going to deploy code. Something that kinda seems like it should be the precursor to an amazing day of productivity. But that's not how my brain works, nor how I've trained it to work. Gotta do my morning routine. Gotta plan the day. Gotta go slow before I can go fast.

So, my pomodoro count is going to take a hit, but that's fine, I'm already at 31 for the week. I haven't hit 50 in a long while. Or even 40. Yet my productivity is considered pretty good as of late. 40 may be my new "good" number.... Not sure how I feel about that, but pomodoros that aren't pure code are much more draining and my job is a lot more thinking and grokking. Coding is just the grind that comes at the end.
