Last year, I failed to do a game jam.... I wonder how well I could do a game jam now. GMTK should have another game jam again.

Tue Jul 17 17:40:59 UTC 2018

Last month was, I think, my second weekly review since adding them to my system. I need to do my weekly review. Let's do that tomorrow.

Tue Jul 17 17:45:02 UTC 2018

Last week, I noted the first weekly review of this system a month and a week ago. So, yes, last month's was the second. No need to keep counting, I think.

I noted last week that I was worried I was regressing to poor sleep, but recovered. I'm dealing with poor sleep again (late flight to Seattle), but I'm confident I'll return to stability as I've done several times before.

Tue Jul 17 17:47:46 UTC 2018

Yesterday, I returned to Seattle from Tucson. Lots of travel time. I had a good time in Tucson, and hopefully something lucrative will come of it.

Tue Jul 17 17:48:44 UTC 2018

I didn't send proper events to Mixpanel again today. Says I did 4 pomodoros, but it was 6. In any case, it was a pretty productive day considering the shock to my sleep schedule, and how tired I realized I was by the end of the day.

I didn't manage to finish what I wanted to finish, but there were meetings I needed to go to. I'll have it done today.

Skipped climbing today to prioritize sleep. Will be back at it on Wednesday. Hopefully will do a solid two weeks of 3 days of climbing per week starting next week.

YouTube API whitelist isn't working for some reason.... I'll try to figure it out tomorrow. Tonight is IGDA and weekly review.

Read a little bit of The Elements of Graphing Data. Gots to return it to the library tomorrow, as I'm WFT Wednesday.

Also some blogs:

  • Love Joy Feminism
  • Pharyngula | Freethought Blogs
  • Daylight Atheism

Listened to a bit of Capital in the 21st Century.

Listening to Cortex during pomodoros, still.

Watched:

Wow, lots of YouTube.

Last year, I wanted to do the GMTK game jam, but just didn't have the discipline.

Sun Jul 15 15:59:00 UTC 2018

Last month was just a normal day.

Sun Jul 15 16:01:28 UTC 2018

Last week was a weekly review. And I gotta be honest, I completely forgot about doing a weekly review.

I can do the review on the plane ride home... or at the airport. I'll figure it out.

Sun Jul 15 16:05:18 UTC 2018

Yesterday was just a solid Saturday in Tucson.

Thought about doing work at various times, but the day was Sunday, and Sunday is not a work day. I also skipped the weekly review, but that's because there wasn't a good time to do it, I should make sure to do it today or tomorrow.

Landing late, sleeping late, may skip climbing tomorrow. We'll see.

Travel isn't going to happen for a few weeks now, personal projects should get more time.

Listened to more Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban whilst driving to and waiting at airport.

Watching:

Okay, time to start tomorrow's post.

Last month, I made a goal of having a good rhythm of pomodoros at work by June 25th. A goal that I don't think I've made even by now. Though I believe week to week it is slowly improving (something I can verify with Mixpanel).

Sat Jul 14 14:59:57 UTC 2018

Last week, I was talking about my general happiness recovering from destabilization. Also, I discussed my worry that listening to podcasts during pomodoros might be bad. Been doing it for over a week now and I think it's fine. We'll see how I feel as I go forward, though.

Yesterday was a work-from-Tucson day. I skipped the my start-of-day planning, which I think is something I shouldn't do. But it was a good day in spite of that.

Sun Jul 15 15:33:18 UTC 2018

I'll be buying property in Tucson, it looks like. Nothing more to say, really. Having a solid Tucson visit.

Last year, I got job at Mixpanel. The year anniversary is coming up. Also had a cool dream about getting a job as a key animator.

Sat Jul 14 04:00:43 UTC 2018

Last month, I was getting excited for YouTube additions to timer.... Soon.

Sat Jul 14 04:09:38 UTC 2018

Last week was just an all-around solid day, and that's worth noting now.

Yesterday was a solid, productive day with a bunch of travel. Exciting.

Sat Jul 14 04:13:05 UTC 2018

I've got 6 pomodoros clocked-in today. Which doesn't sound great, but literally all pomodoros were work pomodoros. So that's pretty good. Didn't get as much done as I wanted, but there's no evidence I'd have done better at the office. That's a number in line with my current level of productivity (which could be better, I think, but progress will come).

Climbing skipped today due to travel. Same with personal projects.

No reading today.

Cortex listening during pomodoros today.

Watching (yesterday included) today:

Last month, I made waffles at work. There's some other stuff, but making waffles at work was cool and worth noting.

Thu Jul 12 14:39:12 UTC 2018

Last week was a productive work day in a remote location. Which is exciting, as I'll consider working from various remote locations in the future. I also added a question about dreams.

Thu Jul 12 14:43:50 UTC 2018

Yesterday was a solid work day that I believe set the foundation for a solid today and/or tomorrow.

Did a solid WFH day with some work done from the airport and some programming even done on the plane (super solid 1.5 hours of productive time without pomodoros).

No personal project time today due to travel.

No proper reading today (that I can remember the next day).

Some more Capital in the 21st Century and some Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban whilst driving to Tucson.

Also, pretty regular to listen to Cortex whilst working now.

I don't remember what I watched today versus watching the next day (when I'm writing this), so I'll cover it all in the review for the next day.

My dream this time was gross. I was in a public restroom.... Needing to use the toilet. And then various things happen and I needed to use the shower. The bathroom was big, like a gym's bathroom, but gross like a gas station's bathroom.

Ugh. Not going into more detail on this one.

Last month was a hectic day, it looks like. Also, my first time noting how fast I ran home from work.

I had just gotten typescript working and started developing "timer2".

Wed Jul 11 13:52:14 UTC 2018

Last week was the 4th of July. I had breakfast with my sister and spent the day with friends (it was one of 'em's 75th birthday).

Yesterday has various interesting bits.

First things first, twitter. Twitter is a thing I'm having trouble with, just like reddit. Today, I almost went, but I reminded myself of why I don't want to go there, and went elsewhere.

No thinking about politics today! Writing it down helped. It seems to be that my consistency with writing things down has led me to obsess about things I don't write down. Woo, Getting Things Done!

I decided to deep dive into playing with youtube api stuff. SoonTM, I'll have a prev/next of search results to go through. Then I'll actually load the YouTube video.

Also, I like how I'm starting to list my information consumption.

Thu Jul 12 04:26:24 UTC 2018

Today was a WFH day. It was as productive as yesterday. Which felt like half of Monday. I think I've laid the foundation for another day like Monday.

Went rope climbing today. Best one I've done is 5.10c, I think. I'm getting harder, better, faster, stronger. I decided against running today because I did 2 hours of climbing. Also maybe feeling a tiny bit sick?

I put in one pomodoro towards the timer. I haven't built the code in a while.... The next pomodoro's goal will be to list out YouTube search results.

No reading today.

Listening today:

  • Cortex

Watching today:

I really like listing this out. If I watched anything particularly good or regretted, I can talk about it. It also just really forces me to consider how much I've watched. Even with the speed runs running at 1.5x speed.

Last month, I started using aTimeLogger. I gave up on it after about a week. I wasn't using the data I was gathering at all, and it felt redundant when paired with my admittedly less precise timeblock setup. I think it makes more sense to eventually improve my timeblock setup.

Tue Jul 10 14:56:27 UTC 2018

Last week, I worked from home and drove to Vancouver, WA.

Tue Jul 10 14:57:54 UTC 2018

Yesterday was an 11-pomodoro day. Good day. I seem to be back in the groove.

Tue Jul 10 16:07:41 UTC 2018

Actually, it was 12 pomodoros yesterday. I failed to send the end of day pomodoro properly. Also failed to send this morning's pomodoro. Really need to fix my Mixpanel setup. Timer remake!

Wed Jul 11 02:31:49 UTC 2018

Okay, so I've been thinking about rushing to getting my timer remake to a place that's better than my current one.

But....

No.

I like playing with things.

But.....

I should work on being fast and playing intelligently. I can play the game, or I can practice speedrunning and get good at playing the game.

I guess....

Let's find a happy middle, and rush towards a prototype of how I'm thinking searching for YouTube videos should work in my app.

Work started out strong today but then I lost momentum. That loss of momentum followed me into home pomodoros, of which I did 2 of the planned 4. Non-counting this review, of course. I'm consistent on this at least.

Otherwise, though, work is going well and I'm confident that I'll get something cool out by the end of this week or early next week.

Struggled with a decision on my timer remake when I found a good compromise.

Hoping to have a quick-and-dirty exploration of youtube setup soon.

My brain has been obessivingly thinking about politics. Thinking that I'm not sure what to do with and I'm not sure how I should productively channel it. I believe that court-packing will be a necessary strategy when Democrats retake the senate and presidency. I believe that I should hold the democrats accountable for every little thing, but work towards them winning over the Republicans. I believe that it should be a serious goal of the DNC to practice fixing the political system via improving their own internal rules.

The Democratic party should be the only party, and it should split into its liberal and conservative sections.

But to go further with this thinking, I feel that educating myself on things is necessary. And I'm not in a place where that's a priority, so I'm going to try to let this go, and pretend that I'm good with just voting in primaries and voting Democrat.

Reading today:

Listening today:

YouTube today:

Some of the above was last night. It recently occurred to me that I can look at my YouTube history to list what I've watched.

Going to Twitter still. Something to keep working on. Not reading the opinions of people I know I explicitly disagree with and know I'll want to argue with, at least. I'll try to remind myself why I don't want to go there.

Anyways, time to go wind down.

Last month was my first weekly review with this system, I think. I have also noted that I've been struggling with doing more work outside of pomodoros and ruining my non-working plans for the day, and that I need to stop doing that. I wouldn't mind having that problem again.

Mon Jul 09 14:11:29 UTC 2018

Last week, I struggled to be productive. It was concerning, I was worried I was backslipping to apathy. But I decided not to get anxious about it and assume I was recovering from Tahoe, which I believe was the correct hypothesis.

Mon Jul 09 14:13:02 UTC 2018

Yesterday was a weekly review day, and a day that belonged to the wife. Weekly reviews are coming into form.

Mon Jul 09 14:15:15 UTC 2018

I've finished with time to spare again. Nice.

I have a goal of 9 pomodoros at work. This would lead to the most pomodoros I've done in a day with this current system. But I believe I can do it, so let's go for it.

Work plan was close to properly executed. I got in 8 out of 9 planned pomodoros, but I changed what the pomodoros were about. I had two places where I could've squeezed in extra pomodoros but ended up distracted and/or not sure what I should work on.

The project is going well, but slower than I would like, but we're picking up speed starting today so I'm confident that we'll be at a reasonable speed (though I think I'll always think it's going slower than I'd like).

Climbing went great today. I didn't finish any new routes (or any new particularly special routes), but I made progress on a bunch of ones I'm trying to tackle, and I improved my capability to finish ones that are completeable but still hard for me.

Devoted the hour to the timer remake. I'm creating a wrapper to the youtube api so that I can make other wrappers with the same interface if I want to eventually plug in other sites. I like that I'm doing it, but I'm definitely not rushing to hacked-together MVP....

Maybe rush to parity with old timer as with original plan and then start doing this again?

Still listening to Cortex, and also Ross Monthly Chat - Accursed Farms. Productivity was high today. I'm good with this.

I'll watch some Overwatch with the wife soon.

Last year: "I have received word from Mixpanel that I will receive word from them by Tuesday."

Sun Jul 08 14:48:28 UTC 2018

Last month, I got excited about getting TypeScript working with the panel tutorial.

Sun Jul 08 14:50:45 UTC 2018

Last week was a recovery day after the work trip to Tahoe. Though, also, I still did my weekly review, and I got around to setting up a YNAB account. Which during today's weekly review I'll actually look at my spending for the week.

I'll reread this again during the weekly review later.

Sun Jul 08 14:54:56 UTC 2018

Yesterday, I devoted a bunch of time to my timer remake, and hung out with a friend for a few hours.

I noted some things I want to follow-up on. I actually have time right now. Let's rotate a password first and then get to this.

Sun Jul 08 15:02:30 UTC 2018

Rotating passwords took the rest of the time.

Spending this month is around $3000 already, but that's mostly rent and buying flights to various places for various reasons. I will continue tracking it.

Mon Jul 09 01:47:21 UTC 2018

So, I'm noticing that while I read through my past week of posts, I don't at all read all the questions I ask myself. Now, to a certain extent, this is fine, because I'm doing fine and so I don't need to assess the data to fix things.

But....

I think the data I have can very well be visualized in a way that I can notice weird things at a glance and maybe manage some preventative stuffs.

Something to keep in mind.

Mon Jul 09 01:54:44 UTC 2018

I've been pretty good this week about noting all the stuff I'm reading/watching/listening to and making quick notes about it.

I'm not saying as much as is in my mind, but I'm finding a good balance between taking way too much time to write down every little inane thought and not noting anything and letting what I consume pass through me without me assessing how it affects me.

Mon Jul 09 01:56:49 UTC 2018

Speaking of, I have one thing I want to mention about what I've read yesterday. The article is What Color are Your Bits?, and it made me think of a video I watched a while back: The Golden Calf | Abolishing Copyright Law and The Golden Calf Vol. 2 | Is Art a Commodity?.

Basically, I have a simple thing to say here: the article talks about the color of copyright and the videos talk about how restricting that color is censorship.

Also, Programmers Need To Learn Statistics Or I Will Kill Them All has some book recommendations to add to my library list (which is already at 46, but I have accepted I won't actually read all the books).

Nevermind, none of them seem to be in the library.

Weekly reviews on Sunday feel right. Only planning and review on Sunday, otherwise relax and/or do stuff with the wife.

Listening to cortex during pomodoros still.... Not sure how I feel about it. I should do some research about it. Eh.... I'll try to switch between other white noises and compare and contrast different pomodoros as I go, maybe.

Today I watched:

Mon Jul 09 03:52:16 UTC 2018

Did a whole bunch of password rotations. I have a lot of extra time today.

Hopefully this is a sign that I'm getting faster? I've noticed that my mornings have been going pretty smoothly, which means I get more of the one-off daily items in the daily checklist, meaning more time in my end of day review.

Yesterday, I started putting articles I've been meeting to read on my phone. So when I go to my browser on my phone (something I don't do too often), there are things I've been meaning to read there.

And by "I started", I mean I remembered an article that a friend recommended and started reading it on my phone, and I got this idea. I have a ton of things to read, Stephan. People send me things to read. I think part of it is that the people who send me things to read, I tell them my thoughts when I finally get around to reading it (often months later).

Is Trello on the phone? Yes, but my device isn't compatible. I could update the OS, but first I need to change my authentication setup to not require my phone. I'll think about it (I've created Trello cards for it).

I have a lot of reading items in my email that I don't think I'll bother moving to Trello, though, so for now I can just look at my reading tag in email. I think that should work well.

Last month, I'm just generally really excited that everything is coming together. Today, in contrast, I'm pretty excited that I'm restabilizing pretty easily after a destabilizing worktrip. Last month I was just getting typescript stuff setup on my timer remake. I'd really like to get it to a state where I can replace my old timer with it... today.

I may rush to something functional but ugly (both code-wise and view-wise), and then I can devote time to cleanup and what I want it to look like.

Sat Jul 07 17:07:41 UTC 2018

Last week, I got home from Tahoe.

Sat Jul 07 17:09:17 UTC 2018

Yesterday was a pretty good day. It looks like I'm on my way back to the productivity level that I want to be at. I'm not there yet, though. I watched some YouTube this morning instead getting right into planning, for instance. I should still get some good personal project work in, though.

I decided that my timer remake would be the main focus today. So IGDA Admin will have to wait until Tuesday. I have ended up diving into the YouTube api, because, though this isn't MVP necessary, I want to search YouTube, not give a YouTube url.

There are a variety of reasons for this, I guess. Part of it is that my whitenoise has recently changed. Maybe for the worse? But it doesn't matter, old whitenoise was not working anymore. Lazy me was actively rejecting old white noise.

Old white noise, for reference, was lyricless music on endless repeat. One song in particular.

And this has worked really well. But now no such music is working. So I've been "listening" to podcasts. I'm not really listening, I've noticed I'm tuning a lot out. Which is good, because multitasking is bad.

But....

I'm doing it right now, and I'm definitely distracted by it. It may have super hurt my personal project productivity.

I'll do it for a bit and try to switch back, maybe.

Anyways, I'll want to search for my white-noise sometimes, I think. And I'd like it to be inside my timer, not outside. So, search functionality.

I'm glad I gave my timer priority, because it had been slipping. Next I need to make sure IGDA admin work comes back into focus.

Lots of reading today!

I started the Grab article a while back, but decided to finish it today. It linked to the statistics article, and I was interested and read it and it was good.

What color are your bits was something a friend told me about today. Also really good. Don't have time for depth here, maybe I'll discuss it a bit during my weekly review tomorrow.

Listening today was more Capital in the 21st Century. Still very much enjoying it. Main takeaway today was, "Foreign ownership of capital in a country is typically bad."

Podcast listening has been Cortex. Not particarly imporant which ones. This is for white noise purposes. But again, there has been some interesting things (e.g. journaling) that have bled through. Another data point to stop this experiment before making it a habit.

Today I watched:

And it's past time to stop!

Sunday's only job from now on is weekly review before wife wakes up. Sunday is a rest day, I think. Planning, review, and weekly review are not things I need to rest from, however, so it's a good day for it.

So, what I'm saying is, I hope to follow-up on some things tomorrow.
