General impressions
- My second week in Munich. I looked so much at books for my research (and during such a untypical part of the day) that the tagtime-based goal of mine that rewards working on the project earlier in the day says that I literally can do nothing for it until December 11. (Okay, that’s not only the gain buffer, that’s also a flat spot to cover a conference and a holiday after that.) But I definitely cannot “not look” or “not think” about my project until December, sigh.
- Added some improvements to the code that populates the meta goal. More detail in the corresponding thread.
Derailments
gmail_all- this was quite a random one. Just forgot to look at the end of the day.
New goals
- lit_anki_cards - to gently nudge me to create Anki cards for the new words that I encounter in Lithuanian - in class or while reading/listening to something. Because I have been known to just make notes and never return to them, which is a waste of time. ChatGPT helped me write a code that will be scraping the number of cards in a deck and post it through API. It even included holding my hand while I figured out the version conflicts with the add-on for Anki app. Okay, not literally holding my hand but very helpfully providing suggestions on what might be wrong.
Completed goals
- none this week
Changes to goals
- Since in a week and a half I am travelling to a conference, I will be adding flat spots across most goals for the days in the plane and at the conference, and then a reduced-rate spots for the couple weeks of a holiday after that. [I had a moment of derealization today when I suddenly imagined that it’s already this upcoming week that I am flying to the US instead of the week after that, and that I missed the moment to add the breaks. Wow.]
