Last week I started the week in one frame of mind and completely changed halfway through.
Focus Areas
Try to get 2hrs of probability in, reading of decision making book but also ocw. 2-4hrs in electronics lab. Thinking about doing a reading marathon, just pick a book and study it for like 5hrs.
Consistently working on the Coursera course for this week to get it done by the end of June. One of the primary motivators here is that I was unable to do it before. “This Coursera course is kind of covering becoming better at algorithms while also trying to do something I couldn’t do before.” Going to try and finish this course this week.
Research work: putting the main thrust of cognitive energy, at least 3 hrs a day into research project.
Set aside time to look at workflow, vim etc. and the tools I use. This is along the ‘high leverage’ thinking and also ksr know your tools.
