Distracted and Unfocused

Not My Best Showing :sweat:

Hmmmm how do I break this to my readers…let’s just say that Josh lost sight of what is important and decided to injudiciously spend his time on things that are not high priority. A lot of valuable time were lost due to Josh’s poor decision making and writing this now I feel pretty dang embarrassed and foolish for slipping this hard. Anyways, here’s the rest of the blog:

Today’s Tasks

  • Euler 9
  • Refactor Euler 7
  • TTT in Clojure

Challenges

  • Staying focused!!
    • Got carried away talking to friends & I was unable to snap out of it
    • Did not hold myself accountable

TIL

  • In order to ensure my priorities are taken care of I need to be willing to sacrifice having fun and enjoying the simple, easy things (which are often more than not distractions lol)

Iteration Meeting With Micah Tomrrow

To be frank, I do not feel adequately prepared for the iteration meeting tomorrow. I may have overestimated on the user stories I am supposed to deliver and this is not because of my arrogance but rather I want to make a good, strong impression to Micah by showing him that I can move quick and do a lot in a short amount of time. However, it was a bit ambitious especially considering that I was on vacation for more than half of the work week and I had a packed weekend with plans of hanging out and having fun. Looking back, I need to look at the big picture and realize that some of these fun events can be postponed until I finish the apprenticeship. Sigh, moving forward I do not want to find myself in this uncomfortable position again.
