pro's last check-in - 10pm

pro (not verified) - 21 Oct 2006 - 8:58pm

I see I was the last checker-inner today. Hmmm....

I was out all day. I went to the Farmer's Market to get apples, then spent many hours in a huge bookstore in Union Square, and then had dinner in a great restaurant nearby. I was startled to see how late it was when I got in - almost 10pm!

I'm going to get ready for bed. Since I need so much sleep lately, I might as well start early! I will probably read in bed for a while - I got some good books.

Leaving now (though not all of morning routine was finished).

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Ta Da~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

  • Morning Routine
    • Wake up: 8:45am (no target - it's the weekend).
    • Empty dish drain and wash any dishes from previous day.
    • Make bed (convert futon back into couch). This morning I folded the bedding up with the bed. I'm tired to stripping and making the bed every day. It doesn't look as nice, but bedtime will be easier.
    • Get dressed.
    • Pick up apartment.
    • Make and eat breakfast.
    • Put in contacts.
    • Reflection.

    • Take out pills for the day.
    • Swallow morning pills.
    • Wash breakfast dishes.

Again I went to sleep early last night and slept late - I'm still catching up on sleep. Today I want to go to the Farmer's Market and the bookstore, so I'm hurrying up with my morning routine. I skipped my bedtime routine last night, so I had to do a lot of things from yesterday today (like washing dishes).

Apart from the ladder I've done things and also been for a walk which I did not want to and have washed up and cleaned up in the kitchen so I don't have to do that tomorrow.

Thanks for being here.

Regards Rexroth

Good week-end to you all.

Mine will be about finishing website1, website2 and hopefully a report for a friend. If I were to achieve these over the week-end, I would feel my week-end well used. I know it is all about work, but I think I have taken too much "rest" before.
Step18 has 2 parts and then 5 similar parts for 53 files.

part1 : 30 minutes
part2: 30 minutes
for each file:
- part1: 5 minutes and 2 minutes if no changes needed
- part2: 5 minutes and 2 minutes if no changes needed
- part3: 5 minutes and 2 minutes if no changes needed
- part4: 10 minutes and 2 minutes if no changes needed
- part5: 30 minutes on the required files ( 4 of normally)

After that I will be left only to test and check all from
user point of view before to call website1 finished from my side.

****** TO DO ****************
- Step18

don't forget time off

You should take a day off this weekend. It's not healthy to work all the time.

Also, too much work with no break will cause you to procrastinate later, in rebellion.

Interesting observation

Rexroth - 21 Oct 2006 - 3:57pm

Thats interesting pro. I used to work on projects for many many hours and get high on doing so. Sometimes I wish I could still do so. But having done so I then did nothing for a long time. Overall it was not a very efficient way of working.
