Productivity
😌
I finished simplifying the way I register in Notion which tasks I work on in a day. Why do I even want to keep track of this? Because my memory is such a fog that I grasp at any straws I can to keep ahold of the past. Plus it could conceivably show me patterns in the way I work so I can make improvements. However, listing the tasks I worked on each day was taking too many steps. I had to open the project I was working on, add an entry to its calendar for that day, open the entry, search for the task I was working on, and click to add it to the day’s list of tasks. Tedious. Now with my new approach, Notion automatically adds each new day to the calendar, and in the task I’m working on, I merely click a link that adds the task to the day’s entry via a Make scenario I coded. Much easier.
This week I’m thinking through how I can apply the Eisenhower Matrix to help me prioritize tasks. This is the technique that places tasks into four quadrants based on how urgent and important they are. I thought it’d be a simple matter of adding Urgency and Importance properties to the Tasks database, but no. I fell down a rabbit hole of analyzing what makes a task urgent. Hopefully in a few days I can emerge with some conclusions.

I was feeling well enough to venture back out into the cold. I was still working from home last week, so I took a few snowy walks nearby. I also did the water chloride testing that I meant to do at the beginning of the month.
Glad you’re feeling better. Praying you will be fully restored.
