Post Super-productivity recovery
So yesterday was one of those extremely productive days where I just worked and worked and worked. I was frustrated by a number of problems in making plots but managed to overcome most of the hurdles and ended up making some major progress and didn’t come home from work until around 10 pm or so. So all in all it was an extremely productive day. I would say that I spent about ten hours just writing code and making plots (not counting any time talking to other people and walking around and stuff), fully concentrating, and so I guess that’s my excuse for today. The fact that I’m spending very little time doing things like blogging is indicative of the success I’m having with work, I suppose.
Today is rather less productive. I’m not feeling the vibe and although I have quite a bit of stuff I know I have to do I haven’t really been able to make myself do much of anything. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, but I’m sort of giving up a bit on trying to make much of today. I will probably be going to a class later, and then frisbee, and then some other stuff in the evening, so I’ve got plenty of things to keep me busy for the rest of the day.
Tomorrow is going to be another marathon productivity day, in any case, since I’m covering someone’s physicist shift in the counting room from 4 pm until midnight. Basically I’ll have nothing to do except monitor a few plots every now and then and concentrate on my work. I anticipate getting quite a bit done then as well.
All in all, if days like today are the price to pay for days like yesterday, I don’t really think I will complain.


Wow, I want some of those productivity vibes you had.
Tell me about it, Maria. Man, I want one of those days.
