Daily check-in thread for September 20, 2007

Put in contact lenses every day: Today, it worked - only one try for the right eye, some more for the left. Overall, it went well. It seems I need music to manage it ;)
This challenge is my most difficult so far as it takes more than mere will power, but under the circumstances the rate of 50% ( 4/8 ) is ok.

Got up a couple minutes early this morning. I set a second alarm in case the radio didn't wake me. That alarm went off first. Luckily I was already awake and it didn't jolt me. I guess my mind was doing its job of protecting me from that. LOL. The routine went off without a hitch. :D

Sleep 8: Nope (6.75 hours?)
Work at 8: Nope (about 9:10)

I'm still going to report here for accountability, so it stays on my radar screen, even though I've effectively put other priorities above these for the moment.

I come into this day at {17 of 19 for September}.

Promise:

#1 Fitness: The usual rowing exercise with 8 leg lifts afterwards

#2 Get out: I am going to my sister's to correct her setup after the Qwest broadband installation guy put everything under her admin account instead of her standard user account. And I get to visit her and her cat, Streaks.

#3 Organization: I am conflicted here. My schedule breakdown yesterday also has me be behind on other commitments and I think I had better pay attention to them. So my organization promise is to spend at least two hours on having the ODMJNI 0.59 beta release defined and the definition available for review.

A good day today, six solid hours of progress on my project.
I finally got the paperwork cleared, so the inbox is at zero and
everything is filed. I was reading today about using "time
boxing" techniques on some productivity blogs, so I'm going
to try using that tomorrow to make a round-robin on the
remaining tasks. You work on each open task for a fixed
period, in my case I'm going to try 15 minutes on each of
the 7 or 8 open tasks. Going into Friday Sept 21 I'm {16:20}.

#1 is complete.

#2 was completed by yard work. My sister and I agreed our day was too jammed up so we rescheduled for September 21.

#3 Is complete. I had to cut to fit, providing the least that would satisfy the requirements, and there are provisions for tuning as I go.

missed reading on 9/20
long day
