I like David Hu's answer in Khan Academy's time management thing:

• I work from 9:30 - 6:30
• I start by journalling 1 page on: why, what, and how. I come up with 1 “wildly important goal” that I schedule my day around.
• I spend 10 mins on my morning checklist — scheduling the day, checking calendar, quick check of Slack, status update.
• I’ll spend two solid 2-hour blocks, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon, on the wildly important goal. I close Slack and email during this time. Sometimes, I’ll go to a cafe too.
• I use the Pomodoro technique — 25 min working, 5 min break. I meditate during breaks to calm and re-center.
• I keep a spreadsheet of how focused I was on each Pomodoro work session. I ask my manager to look at that spreadsheet each week to keep me accountable.
• I spend 5-10 mins at end of day reflecting — what I’m happy about, what I’m worried about.

todays goal

1 page on why, what, and how

oh my goodness this is embarassing to write on my online journal. Fortunately I only have 1 reader, and he's probably gotten bored and wandered away.

I know for a fact that I won't keep this up every day, but the why is currently related to productivity, which is related to thinking I did something good, which is related to thinking that I'm good.

My wildly important goal for the day is to make a plan for finishing the TESOL capstone course. Why? because I've already put several hours into it, and not finishing would help validate my claim that I can't finish projects. Why else is because I can see how the TESOL courses have helped me be a mo betta teacha.

I already spent 20+ minutes on it, so I'm going to meditate for 5 mins and then do 15 mins of MOOV (maybe should do the MOOV first) so I can thoroughly break my train of thought good lord this isn't going well is it.

Yesterday I got to level five in fucking Pokemon Go. Fred said yeah you might as well so you know what they're talking about.
