Monthly review: June 2014
Posted: - Modified: | monthly, reviewI wrote that in June, I'd like to:
- ☑ Deliver a chunk of functionality for project E1
- ☑ Polish and publish the Emacs Lisp beginner course, possibly on a self-serve platform
- ☑ Take it easy because of project F2
E1: Yeah, big milestone! Now working on related changes. And testing things, of course; there's always more to test.
Emacs Lisp beginner course: I haven't created a full course, but I'll probably convert the beginner course into a downloadable PDF, EPUB, and MOBI this month.
As planned, I took it easier this month. Here's a subset of my time changes:
| Activity | Percent of time | vs previous month |
|---|---|---|
| Family | 5.10% | +4.8h / week |
| Sleep | 37.6% | +4.4h / week |
| Learning | 1.7% | +2.7h / week |
| Reading fiction | 1% | +1.5h / week |
| Quantified Awesome | 1.2% | -1.8h / week |
| Business | 17.1% | -3.2h / week |
| Emacs | 2.1% | -6.7h / week |
In July, I'd like to:
- E1: Update the documentation and help out in other ways
- Turn the beginner course into a convenient download
- Plan for project F3
- Solidify my exercise habit
I've been rereading a lot about philosophy: Epictetus and Aristotle, mostly. This month, I'd like to dig into Emerson and Thoreau. Next week, probably what Bertrand Russell says about happiness and people. Hmm…
