I made a mistake in my dates and so I have a few chapters to edit and upload and I have work tomorrow morning. Gonna be rough.
So, to make myself feel better, what are you time crunching this week?
Just existing as a first time parent. I have a huge amount of respect for anyone that has two or more children, because one is already stretching me to my limits. To get anything accomplished requires stealing time from something else. So over time, everything is in a state of being half-assed, overdue, or forgotten.
My master thesis, due on monday, and I’m having major concentration problems 😫
It’s been a few hours, I hope it hasn’t persisted! When I’m having those issues I like to make a list of all of the other things rambling around in my head. Set a 3-5 minute timer and scribble those thoughts down! Then take a short walk around, like 3-5 minutes, come back to your list and write anything else down.
Then go back to your project!
I like to do this any time I start feeling restless or distracted, because that way I get my thoughts out, “make progress” on something else, and then further extrapolate on those thoughts and get some blood flowing. Makes it easier to come back with a clear conscious!
I’m learning the Rust programing language. Gonna write a fediverse backend with it.
That actually sounds really sick. I’ve been learning C myself. (Yes, I know it’s a little outdated).
I’ve considered C. I do have over a decade of experience with C++. But quite frankly I just need to be productive, so I work in C# these days. The issue is just that C# takes away a lot of control that I need for this project. Especially because I want it to be resource efficient so that it’s sustainable and doesn’t hog people’s private server resources.
Personally I’m just a hobbiest, I’m not really fluent in anything. I want to hack together a (extremely simple) OS. I’d imagine C++ is close to the effiency of Rust, no?
Nothing.
I participated in a game jam, which ended wednesday. We submitted tuesday evening, in a satisfying state. It’s a prototype, it doesn’t have to be perfect, or complete, or thorough.
We die invest time, but I don’t consider it crunch.
Work has some high priorities but nothing immediate pressuring.
And private, no commitments or short term must either.
That’s great! I’m finally at this point after a stressful few days, I was up til 2:45am (pretty normal for me) getting the final upload sent off and had to get up for work for my first day of on the floor training at my new job… Well, I guess that last part was obvious.
Point is, I’m exhausted! Haha! But work today was actually easy enough, I’m officially someone who can serve food (but that’s not my job). My last 96 hours have honestly been almost entirely compromised of work and I’m very glad to have this 3 day weekend
I have a photography project due tomorrow. I have to make test print, a full print and negative press. The problem is I always want to go after dark so it’s colder, but by then I’m too tired.
