Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.

Thick Nhat Hanh

May each crisp hour of your day bring promise and fulfilment.

Piqued CI

Feeling timid about making a to-do list today. While avoiding making said list, saw a TED Talk (http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are.html). Tried a "power pose" for two minutes and then took another stab at making a to-do list...

1) Give feedback on interface doc DONE
2) Try subnet mask suggestion DONE
3) Test assertion about implicit SMTP port restriction
(unable to test until #2 is sorted)

OK, that's a big enough list for now. I'll add to it if I can finish it.

Making discomfort a daily goal is the key to making progress. Robert Leahy

Calypso's check-in

"24 brand new hours are before me". Wonderful Quote. Yesterday I did 8 pomodoros, each for a minimum of 25 mins, and got a good section of writing done. I was going to do 16 pomodoros, but stopped when it got late. Today I will do between 16 & 24 pomodros, I am now willing and ready to work, I give this work to hp, and pray to stay with right motivation.Sunday - tomorrow- is when this pece of writing- this book chapter- needs to be done and given in.

Exhausted. Spent more time at work than initially planned and my cold is getting worse. Bought cough medicine and Vitamin C, but forgot to get Panadol Cold & Flu. Feel like I'm coming down with a fever. Going to sleep early. Can't concentrate any more, head hurts.
