I hate these things – precisely because they’re effective. There’s something fundamentally off inside my brainpan when it comes to work ethic; I need as much structure and accountability as possible until it’s fixed. Daily agendas to follow.
1. Read awk manual; publish notes on what I’ve learned so far (2)
2. Read #o logs and publish highlights (2)
3. Setup heathen BTC node (1)
4. Search for Latin, Spanish tutors (2)
5. Review of day’s work and publish tomorrow’s agenda (1)
This is rather painful to read and I’m almost inclined to send you a picture to colour in, seriously. Here, I’ll fix it for you this once:
1. Make a script (or several, whatever it takes) to actually solve a problem I happened to notice (reading otherwise around and trying to make myself useful, if at all possible), namely those still-broken links to #trilema from the old logger. This might take some figuring out but hey, all the better for it!
2. Practice summarizing using the more accessible #o logs. May start with highlights, on tired/heavy days.
3. Rent a dedicated server with one of the recommended/known-to-work OSes and install TRB on it to run a BTC node.
4. Move to Spain. Start reading the classics in original, even if one sentence a day for the time being. Not like they are in a hurry.
5. Review each day at the end of it, decide on tasks for next day and then unwind. Look at each week’s progress on Saturdays and decide what needs to change.

THANK YOU! I’d sorta whispered to myself that I was populating my agenda with things that weren’t so difficult as to be scary. Perusing the above, I’m more excited than intimidated (and I expect #4 isn’t even going to be the most difficult/scary!) :D

Review
I awoke to a total inversion (see above) – a flip from nonsense to meaning; apathy to excitement; comfort to difficulty (I’m moving to Spain?!). I skipped to the gym, and proceeded to go way too hard. I noticed mid-workout the signs – fatigue bordering on nausea – and cut the workout short. I got home around 2, feeling exhausted, and laid down for a few hours. I over-trained a couple of weeks ago, and was knackered for 10 days after.
I got up around 6 and wrote a log summary, which took a couple of hours; interspersed with going back to bed and resting. I’ll get an early night, and hopefully feel refreshed in the morning.

Lol, go steady not fitfully, yes.

[…] started the week off by trying to avoid hard work. I was then set some hard work, and hardly worked on it […]
