A year ago today, I was introduced to the idea of emotional debt. Still love the concept. Also, I saw the new Spiderman movie. Not quite as valuable but still good.

Wed Jun 06 13:49:10 UTC 2018

Last month was a Sunday, and as we all know, those days belong to my wife. I should probably even tag the days as such. Sometimes it isn't a Sunday, even.

I also wrote down everything I needed from The First 20 Hours in this post, as the book was due back the next day. Once I hit frustration with my progress on things, I'll want to check that out.

Wed Jun 06 13:52:05 UTC 2018

Yesterday, I got more work done outside of work than at work. Way more. Let's try and make that a bit more balanced today.

Otherwise, I'm just happy and things are coming together.

Wed Jun 06 13:54:22 UTC 2018

I think my plan for the day is solid. Let's organize email actions for the rest of the pomodoro.

Thu Jun 07 02:25:46 UTC 2018

Did IGDA pomodoro as planned. Now let's get some means of using TypeScript working in template web app.

Importing jade files proved difficult in typescript files, but perhaps a javascript file can import both jade and typescript files no problem?

Thu Jun 07 02:39:32 UTC 2018

Success!

Awesome.

Thu Jun 07 02:49:08 UTC 2018

Now to make type definitions for stuff that the transpiler is complaining about. Which means it's time to relearn a bunch of how to do TypeScript things.

Woo.

But I'm out of time. So that'll have to be done tomorrow morning.

Thu Jun 07 02:55:31 UTC 2018

I managed one proper pomodoro at work today. I could probably make my time with my mentee pomodoros, but I haven't tried. Tomorrow the goal will be to refer to my plan for the day regularly and update it if I'm going to do something differently.

However, today was a good, productive day. Workspaces will be hitting an alpha state with customers using it soonish (the one pomodoro I managed at work was towards workspaces and I made serious progress). And Illirik is coming along strongly. Which is awesome.

I'm really devoloping the habit of at-home pomodoros, which is proving a great boon. I'm finally devoting time to volunteering with the IGDA Student SIG, and I'm devoting time to developing a template by which I'll make various web-based programs in. Today, I managed to get TypeScript in there. Tomorrow, I'll address all the current errors, and then I'll copy that template and start remaking my timer and build out the template with my needs as I go.

I'm hoping to have my timer remade by this Saturday.

Oh, and IGDA stuff today led to more Trello. I'll maybe plunge into personal use of that during my weekly review this weekend.

Anyways, time for Overwatch.

Last year was a lazy year. Getting close to my interviews with AQR and Mixpanel.

Tue Jun 05 14:04:33 UTC 2018

A month ago, I started to roll over my 401K to Vanguard. I still need to call T Rowe Price and actuall do this, however.

Tue Jun 05 14:10:03 UTC 2018

The rest of the list will need to be done tonight.

Let's work on that template web app!

Webpacked tutorial web app.

I had a little list of things I wanted to do... from Saturday I think.

Yes:

• Compile the sample app properly instead of doing inline server thing DONE
• Also add in TypeScript
  • Some people at work are thinking of switching to this and I've always wanted to build the habit
• Get straight to work on remaking my timer
• Actually make a home page to my site
• Japanese learning app... is it time?
  • No, but brainstorming mode is on so all ideas get written down
• Game engine in this?

Tue Jun 05 14:26:16 UTC 2018

Compile setup could be a bit smarter, but it's good enough for now. Let's TypeScript up this sample app.

Tue Jun 05 15:06:23 UTC 2018

TypeScript proving difficult. Give it another try tomorrow as it is time to walk to work.

Wed Jun 06 04:29:32 UTC 2018

Going to need to explicitly slice some focus time at work. There'll be a lot of fires to put out as mentee figures stuff out, but there'll still be large chunks of time where I could've done a pomodoro. All of my successful pomodoros today were at home, but that's because I only tried one at work and immediately got interrupted.

It's fine to be interrupted. Well, it's fine if it's on a day where it's expected. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow are all those days.

Wed Jun 06 04:33:11 UTC 2018

Yesterday, I noticed some things wrong with my process and updated them. This is great. Specifically, I noted that my daily checklist had things out of order, and that I needed to add morning stuff to my calendar (because it's hard time-block stuff that has to happen at that time or not at all, basically).

And now I already want to update the system again having properly documented it. I need to do my planning pomodoro first thing everyday. No climbing before it like I usually do.

I need to do this for several reasons:

• The planning pomodoro is super sweaty and gross after climbing
• Some days I'll go to a further climbing gym to climb and want to go straight to work afterwards

So, planning the day should just be 0630 sharp everyday.

Wed Jun 06 04:38:31 UTC 2018

I'm really glad I updated my daily checklist. It being identical morning and evening actually kinda just works. Like, I need to do most of those things both in the morning in the night in some capacity, and also I sometimes run out of time and need to finish some later items at the end of the day.

I love it when a plan comes together?

Wed Jun 06 04:39:56 UTC 2018

IGDA stuff is properly blocked in calendar, and also I did some stuff today. It reintroduced me to Trello, and I'm considering using it for some of my things?

I don't know. We'll see.

Might be useful for other things, though. Like general action and project management?

Things to think about.

Things are really coming together and I'm loving it.

Last year, I was working on setting up a pygame development environment in WING IDE, I noticed that line breaks in my markdown posts were actually line breaks on the site (and looked really janky) and thus fixed the config. And I got distracted by Character Design Tips For Better Concept Art: 5 Step Process.

I had also recently brought my bike to Indiana from Tucson, and was riding it regularly.

Mon Jun 04 15:29:44 UTC 2018

Last month, I was still getting over being sick, but things were normalizing. Stuff I was working on at work suddenly weren't working. It was a frustrating day.

Mon Jun 04 15:33:36 UTC 2018

Yesterday belonged to the wife. We set out to see the first Starbucks (it was crowded so we planned to get coffee there Wednesday). I did some camera stuff with her because she wanted to get pics and video of her new shoes. We cooked vegan wellington (came out okay).

The weekend overall was pretty good.

The working day was 100% mentor stuff today. No pomodoros done at work, either. Just pomodoros at home (though they are work pomodoros). As my boss said, "This was to be expected."

Things went wrong with some stuff for my mentee. So, full putting-out-fires day.

I am hopeful that things will be in a good place for him tomorrow.

I am also hopeful that I will wake up at 0600 again tomorrow morning, and get a solid couple pomodoros into my base template web app before heading to work. I want this because the afternoon's pomodoros will be devoted to IGDA stuff.

Which reminds me, I should update my calendar with these things.

Last month, I was trying to figure out how to devote personal time to projects. I felt there was some sort of emotional barrier. I planned to think aloud in my diary to figure that out the next day (I ended up not doing that).

Well, past me, you'll be happy to hear that we may have figured it out. It was a systemic problem. I needed a routine to get me into the flow, and pomodoros are that routine. Also, I moved my work planning block to start at home so that I build the habit of waking up and planning the day at home. This sets me off on the right path for the day.

Hooray for the daily ritual!

Also, good on past me for being proud that he avoided major regressions whilst being sick.

Sun Jun 03 14:13:39 UTC 2018

Yesterday was great. I finally got around to setting up a default web app system for future web projects. I made progress faster than anticipated (though I did stop it at a broken stage, making my link to a sample app broken).

I also followed my plans from the day before. I wrote about my experience on Friday, and also I worked on the things I had planned to work on.

Well, except for actual work stuff that needs to be done before 0930 tomorrow. Hence this morning's plan being some work pomodoros.

Sun Jun 03 14:18:26 UTC 2018

Going to organize email for rest of pomodoro.

Weekly review time!

It's been a long time since I did one of these. First, let's make the checklist. I started it a bit, but there's plenty more to add. Let's get out my copy of Getting Things Done and peruse the weekly review bits.

Sun Jun 03 15:45:10 UTC 2018

All calendar items last week were done properly, nothing to move into active system.

Next week, there's a bunch of stuff I need to do. There's an interview I need to prep for tomorrow. I can do that in the half-hour before the interview. Might be good to send an email about the questions we'll all be asking.

Other than that, there's a talk about some functionality I'd like to go to, and a bunch of meetings on Thursday (expect some low pomodoro productivity that day).

Sun Jun 03 15:51:53 UTC 2018

My head feels pretty empty.

Mostly thinking about making this blog have some psuedo wiki elements to create a projects list. And maybe move some stuff out of email into here.

Though maybe I should just set up an actual wiki for myself?

Something to ponder.

Sun Jun 03 15:54:39 UTC 2018

Setting up the weekly review took some time today, so I'm skipping a bunch of stuff. Some weekly review items I'm doing every day for process catch-up purposes.

All-in-all, feeling pretty good at where I'm at, but there's lots of progress to be made.

Sun Jun 03 15:56:12 UTC 2018

The rest of the day belongs to the wife. Unless she's still sleeping.

Inbox has some recurring tickler items in it... that I've decided belong in one of two checklists:

• Daily (the one above that I go through at beginning and end of day)
• Weekly (the one I plan to make and start doing today and every Saturday)

These tickler items were:

• Review email actions (already part of daily checklist)
• Clear out capture notebook (now "digitize hand-written notes)
• Review Amazon wishlists (now "Review Lists" with a sub item "Amazon Wishlists")

There was no post last year.

Sat Jun 02 15:37:43 UTC 2018

I was still sick last month but tired of being inactive. Went to work and was glad that I did.

Sat Jun 02 16:05:10 UTC 2018

All right. So.

....

Yesterday.

Up until I walked home, yesterday was an amazingly productive day.

Then I found a man collapsed on the ground on my walk home.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Help me up." He was laying awkwardly on his side. He looked like he was trying desperately to get up but didn't have the strength. A walker lay several feet away from him, with a dull, brown jacket and a bright, red hat also on the ground nearby.

I didn't know how to go about helping him up.

"Help me up! I need to get to the race."

Get to the race? That's what I thought I heard him say. He had a thick accent, he may have said something else.

"I'm almost there. Help me up!" So I went around to his backside, wrapped my arms around his chest, and did my best to carefully lift him up. "Yes, yes. A little more, almost there. Thank you very much."

And he was standing.

....

And he was falling. I caught him, restabilized him, and helped walk him to his walker. I picked up the walker and set it up in front of him. I grabbed his hat and put it on his head, and I grabbed his jacket... "Put it here," he gestured to the front of the walker.

At this point, I wasn't sure what to do. Was he fine now? I started making gestures to leave. "Can you help me? I'm almost there. Just want to go in there," he pointed to the restaurant we were beside.

"Right here? That's where you're going?" I confirmed. He nodded. And so, with a hand on his walker, I guided him to the front of the restaurant. I then went to the front door and held it open.

It was, as the feeble old man struggled to get into the restaurant, that I realized that I misunderstood. The exact nature of my misunderstanding, I am not sure. But I knew I had just generated a problem for the people working at this restaurant.

A patron of the restaurant and an employee rushed to help him. They get a seat ready and... he refused to sit in it. I guess it was in the sun and he didn't want to be in the sun anymore. I have no idea how long he was trapped on the ground in the sun.

He thanked me again for the help, but then the employee started talking to him and....

"Don't talk to me!" he yelled. He continued ranting somewhat coherently at the employee. Insulting him.

My eyes widened. I stammer an explanation. "He was collapsed outside... he said this is where he was going...."

He started yelling in a foreign language across the restaurant to the manager. The manager made his way to us. "You're not with him?" he asked me.

"No... I'm sorry... he was collapsed outside... I was just helping him... I didn't realize...."

"It's fine," he said, in a completely, actually reassuring way. He didn't blame me. I felt horrible, nonetheless. "You," he pointed to the man now, "why are you here?"

The man started yelling again. Random insults from what I could understand.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave," the manager pulled out a phone.

"Yes. Call the police! I sue you," yelled the man.

I looked around helplessly. "I'm so sorry," I said. Several people told me it was fine. They didn't blame me.

"You can leave," the manager said. No anger or frustration in his voice.

And I left.

I thought about the events that transpired the rest of my walk home.

What did I do wrong? What should I have done instead? Was I just tricked? I don't think so. An able-bodied person would be just as capable as walking into a restaurant and refusing to leave without needing to fake anything.... Should I have not helped him? That seems incorrect as well. I can't just leave a person baking in the sun collapsed on the ground.

Should I have not let him into the restaurant? This seems like the main thing I did wrong. But what should I have done instead? What could I have done?

And I still don't know.

Sat Jun 02 16:32:54 UTC 2018

Now for something lighter! I want to make a basic virtual-jade panel site.

Virtual-jade is basically JSX - React but in jade (that is to say pug).

And panel is an implementation of web components.

It's the open-source part of what the front-end of Mixpanel is made of, and so I feel that setting up my website-based projects in this will allow my work experience to benefit from my home experience and vice-versa.

I'm going to copy the JSX example in Panel and then update the example to use virtual jade.

No, wait, the tutorial features jade explicitly.

Woo.

Let's do the tutorial.

Sat Jun 02 17:14:23 UTC 2018

Bam! Sample app. (Note: site will break whilst I move it from being a standalone server thing to just being compiled and served via nginx)

Awesome. I have a place to play in now.

....

Now what?

My mind is racing a bit. There's a bunch I'd like to do....

Let's list them:

• Compile the sample app properly instead of doing inline server thing
• Also add in TypeScript
  • Some people at work are thinking of switching to this and I've always wanted to build the habit
• Get straight to work on remaking my timer
• Actually make a home page to my site
• Japanese learning app... is it time?
  • No, but brainstorming mode is on so all ideas get written down
• Game engine in this?

I think that the order I wrote these down should be the order I tackle them. I'm getting a lot of mileage out of my timer app and remaking it much better than before could prove quite valuable. I mean, my first thought to name the sample app was "timer2".

But, the timer is functional right now, and I have an opportunity to build a foundation that I play in.

And also, nginx doesn't need to redirect to a webserver for purely client-side code. It just needs to serve the files from that area properly.

So, compile, then typescript, then timer, and then I'll rethink things from there.

Going to need to learn some webpack stuff. Should be fast and easy, though.

Decided that the morning went well enough that I won't continue blazing on the problem.

Today's plan was super in flux today. I actually used the third column. A lot. And now I'm finally doing my end of day review (followed by my weekly review.

Digitizing notebook right now. I noticed these vans in SF called "Chariot: Mass Transit Reinvented". I noted it and wanted to look into it. Sure enough, they're what I thought they are: mini-buses. I first read about mini-buses in A Pattern Language, by Christopher Alexander.

This was the main thing that stuck with me from that book. I wanted to make a model to see if they could really be both cheaper and better than buses. A quick google shows that they're competitive. I wonder if they're yet profitable, though.

Still would be fun to model. Adding to my spark file (to be processed later when I have a project system of some sort).

Adding Nurd Rage (YouTube channel) to Spark File.

I'm on the last page of my tiny notebook, Stephan. The first date in it is August 13^th, 2016. Been my companion for almost 2 years.

Sun Jun 03 02:47:15 UTC 2018

I might move my weekly review to tomorrow morning.

Yeah, let's do that.

Unfortunately, my successful pomodoro got sent to Mixpanel as an interrupted one. Quickly added a second margin of error for that. Should do the trick, I think.

Time to run to work.

Sat Jun 02 02:33:05 UTC 2018

I had a great day!

....

Until I walked home from work. And then a thing happened. And I'm fine but... I'll talk about it tomorrow. Basically, I did a thing that felt right in the moment, that was basically right... but I regret doing it, and I feel like I shouldn't regret doing it but I do.

I'll write about it tomorrow. I'll give specifics.

Let's do my review checklist.

Sat Jun 02 02:43:25 UTC 2018

There was no post a year ago today.

Sat Jun 02 02:44:09 UTC 2018

I was sick a month ago today. I backlogged the day. I remember being afraid during this time that my sleep would destabilize but it didn't. I did pretty good being sick. I managed not to chow down on a bunch of sugar.

Good on past me.

Sat Jun 02 02:46:17 UTC 2018

Yesterday was my first day since my sugar pact that I ate well beyond 20g of sugar. I didn't enjoy eating the sugar, and I didn't feel great after eating it. I'm hoping this helps me maintain my habit going forward. I only took the cupcake as it was gotten specially for me (vegan), and I didn't finish it.

I'm just going to not eat it next time. Take it home to my wife.

Yesterday I did a solid job doing personal project pomodoros. Today... not so much, but I'm confident I will build the habit. Today just had a thing happen (that I'll talk about tomorrow).

Sat Jun 02 02:49:00 UTC 2018

I've gotten 12 pomodoros in today. All work ones, technically, as planning and end of day reviews are work pomodoros on work days.

Which is exactly my goal for work pomodoros. Or rather, that's my high-end goal.

I would've probably gotten in my two personal pomodoros as well if not for thing that happened. I'm avoiding thinking about it right now because I'm just being hard on myself and need time to process. I talked about what happened with my wife, and it isn't that big of a deal, but I should log it here, so I will tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Today overall was still great. I even ran to work in under 18 minutes. That's 2.3 miles (notably a bunch of it downhill). That's faster than 8 minutes per mile. Woo!

I'll try to remember to time my run from now on, and we'll see how fast the uphill run back is on Monday.

I also did some gym stuff before climbing. I'll play with exercises for a bit before developing a routine. Well, I'll play, research, play some more, and then iterate into a routine. Still, exciting progress there.

Thu May 31 15:56:23 UTC 2018

Planned my day at home as planned. Fell into some bad habits watching videos this morning. Lost a pomodoro's worth of work. Lots of meetings today, too, so that hurts pretty hard.

Fri Jun 01 01:35:21 UTC 2018

Okay.... So. I have a choice. I can finish hacking in some event stuff that I send to Mixpanel, or I can start remaking this timer in panel and virtual jade. Aka things I use at work and thus working on this project will help me be better at work and vice versa.

I think I can have a hacky, possibly buggy event implementation by the end of today. Then I can just start playing with Mixpanel and use this timer to send events until I remake it in what I want to remake it in.

So, yeah, let's do that.

Fri Jun 01 02:35:44 UTC 2018

Not perfectly implemented, but it works.

Fri Jun 01 02:38:41 UTC 2018

End of day review time!

Let's make a checklist for this.

Which is a great time for a note about checklists, Stephan. I have, in the past, tried making checklists in their own file or files. But then I just don't use 'em. I think part of that is that updating them takes a tiny bit more work. I need to update them both in the file they live in, and while using them.

Better, for now, to just go to the previous time I used the checklist, copy it in its form and update it as needed.

Except.... I both have a timeblock file and a sleep file for those things.

Hmmmm.... Maybe I've just been lazy about creating checklist for certain day-to-day things like weight, calorie goals, and calorie counting?

In any case, let's checklist:

• Tickler DONE
• Inbox DONE
• Email SKIPPED
  • Inbox DONE
  • Actions SKIPPED
• Slack DONE
• Update the diary post as necessary DONE
• Review the Day SKIPPED
• Review yesterday SKIPPED
• Review last month SKIPPED
• Review last year SKIPPED

Had a new month of tickler items to process, took up a lot of time. Tomorrow morning I'm going to need to make up for all the stuff I skipped with tomorrow's start of day pomodoro.

Fri Jun 01 04:25:19 UTC 2018

I've made up for some skipped things during my end of day routine time.

I'm feeling pretty good about where I am and where I'm going. Pomodoros feel very powerful right now. I only got 3 done at work but it was still a productive day. Tomorrow there's no meetings, too! I'm excited to see how many pomodoros I get in tomorrow.

Fri Jun 01 04:34:47 UTC 2018

Because I'm reviewing the day at home now, I've started emailing myself work reviews. It's pretty powerful, actually. I just state what's on my plate, and how I'm rationing my time according to my responsibilities and my priorities.

Next step is to make sure things don't fall through the cracks.

Basically, I'm paper-prototyping (or email-prototyping) my GTD system that I've been planning.

Fri Jun 01 04:36:14 UTC 2018

Anyways, bed time.

Wed May 30 17:00:18 UTC 2018

Planning the day is now a pomodoro. I like half-hour chunks in my timeblock, so it's roughly where I started the pomodoro. For example: I still have 10 minutes left of the planning pomodoro.

Which will be used for email perusing.

Wed May 30 23:56:39 UTC 2018

After this pomodoro, I'll have achieved 8 work pomodoros. I consider myself "clocked-in" around 0900, and will "clock-out" a little after 1700. Meaning I'll have achieved about 1 pomodoro per hour.

I'd like to do at least 10 pomodoros at work. Or rather, not counting start and ending pomodoros, I'd like to do 8 pomodoros. It might be good to have start and ending pomodoros at home. Not to get more work pomodoros in (though that would be a side-effect), but because I'd like to build the habit at home to plan my day and review my day in pomodoros.

I did it at work today for various reasons (mainly I didn't want to arrive at work any later than I did). I think I'll try to be better about doing both of these things at home.

Also, to be fair, I was literally a minute away from another success (the interrupted pomodoro above) before I was called to an impromptu meeting. I take the "no partials" rule very seriously. If I want a success, I need to stand my ground. In this case, I think the meeting was important enough to allow the loss of a pomodoro.

I've built a "projects for tomorrow" list in my work plan file. I'm trying to track what's on my plate each day and make sure I haven't bitten more than I can chew. I have 4 items in the list, one of which is "transfer ownership of bug to proper person". That'll happen between pomodoros or during planning tomorrow. One item needs only one pomodoro as it doesn't need to be done tomorrow and I don't know how much work it is. Another item will probably take several pomodoros, and also has scripts that take hours, so it'll be the first thing.

The last item is the ongoing project I'm currently working on. It gets the rest of the pomodoros I can manage.

If I'm going to do end-of-day reviews at home, I'll start running home a half-hour earlier. Both planning and reviewing still count as work on work days, it's just work I can do from home.

Thu May 31 02:35:47 UTC 2018

Time for more updates to my timer.

Want to capture successful and unsuccessful pomodoros.

Right now just console.logging result. Want to think about exactly what I'm capturing before sending it to my Mixpanel project.
