October 12, 2019 in Productivity Diary

I’m lazing around in bed, but I know that I have to get up and be productive. 3 days off ahead, but I need to use them to get ahead.

8:32 am get up and complete basic morning routine.
10:34 am Just done talking to the family. 10 minutes reading for class prep then I take off.

3:58 PM Okay, I let one student take the exam. I graded a bunch of test questions (far from being done now of course). Hung out with some former coworkers at my former workplace. Then wasted time for another hour. Seriously.

Like I would die if I commit to working constantly for hours. No I would not! I should give up Quora completely– except for a few persons.

I lost my purple pen which I had been using for grading, now I lost my momentum too.

I need to:
-Finish grading all papers
-Finish grading all midterm exams
-Finish lecture on conscience and natural law
-Finish law school personal statements

Okay, so I must:
-15 minutes writing email about law school (after that I’ll get straight to writing law school PS)
-30 minutes lecture prep on natural law
-Grade one paper
-10 minutes some other work

3 hours of Focusmate and I’m down from 29 papers to 24. Not great progress but two papers were REALLY GOOD.
