Late check in - we had an all-morning all-hands meeting with the big boss.   It was fairly informative and I saw some colleagues I hadn't seen in a while, so it was fairly worthwhile.   Making todo list for the afternoon now. 

Update 3:30 working on MIT #3 of 5

Update 5:45 did a lot of work on MIT #3 and a little bit on MIT #4.  #5 is looking for some insurance papers at home tonight.  See ya tomorrow.

You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature. - Les Brown

Made decent progress yesterday, but stayed at work until 11:30 PM. That's not good. Also have trouble getting started in the morning. Have been looking at internet news sites and messing around with email as a way of avoiding anxiety provoking or just unappealing work. I think the absence of an "outside life" is taking its toll. I tend to take my eye off the ball at work doing online things I should do at home, but can't, because I don't spend adequate time at home. Okay, time to redouble my efforts to be out of here at a reasonable hour. I think that 7-7:30 PM is a good goal.

Goal 1: No more nonwork internet today until 7:30 PM (this will be tough)

Goal 2: 30 mins blocks x 4, 11 AM  to 1 PM, then attend scheduled meeting, 1 to 2 PM

Goal 3: Quick lunch after meeting, get started again by 2:30 PM

Goal 4: 30 min blocks x 4, 2:30 to 4:30 PM, then attend another scheduled meeting 4:30 to 5 PM

Goal 5: Quick snack after meeting, get started again by 5:30 PM

Goal 6: 30 min blocks x 4, 5:30 to 7:30 PM

Goal 7: Leave at 7:30 PM

Goal 8: Get at least 30 min blocks x 2 done at home

Goal 9: Bed by 10:30 PM

Whatever TUIT stands for, I like the sound of it. The last few days have been busy morning, noon and night with parental and musical activities. Now it's time to earn money. Music did generate a few hundred dollars over the weekend, thanks to playing three paying shows, which is fantastic. I also spent about $100 on food and drink after the shows but it was still a good weekend as far as earning money on what is essentially a hobby. (No money was earned by attending a kid soccer game and swim meet or taking a bunch of kids to a water park. The reverse, actually. But spending time with my kids is one of my greatest pleasures, so that's okay.) Today, I'll see if I can move the needle on the financial scale...
