To err is human, to try, divine
Tuesday, July 10, 2018
I've drawn a list of things I need to-do, in addition to all the garbage I have listed on Trello. Bear with me because this is the closest I've come to organizing my thoughts. Prose will be back when this trial week is over.
Trial run from 9th-15th July for the following things-
1)Sleeping by 11 pm. It's 11:53 as I type this, if I make it to bed by 12, it would be a real achievement. Okay before 12, every day for the rest of the week. (At the time of posting- it's 12:01 and I need to brush so 12:15 am is final time)
2) Make. A. Budget. Factor in all the costs, losses, pros, cons, and everything else involved. Don't procrastinate. (I mean, for fuck's sake, you do this for a living at work every fucking week)
3) No overthinking. Not about the job, not about the lack of water in the washbasin at the job. Not about not having any real skill. Not about, "What will this PhD even do?"
4) DO NOT EAT PEANUTS. DO NOT COME CLOSE TO PEANUTS.
5) Minimize eating crap to not even once a week.
6) Pencil in HIIT at least four times this week.
7) Look for a birthday gift for grandfather. Something that he actually cares about.
8) Read a motherfucking book other than what you're making.
9) Watch Narcos.
10) REPLY TO PERSONAL EMAILS. PLEASE FOR FUCK'S SAKE RESPOND TO EMAILS FROM CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS, ADVISORS, POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS.
11) Organize your artwork for the room.
12) WRITE YOUR MOTHERFUCKING PAPER.
13) Do not binge on dessert. You don't need dessert. Do not eat mango. Do not go near a mango.
14) Limit social interaction to one hour at best, after work. I repeat- 60 minutes or less. Or every 15 minutes spent with people you don't care about, add that to your workout.
15) Don't spend time on dating apps.
