Day 14


Not my best day. Far from my worst. My Index did dip a little, but I'm still close to the past couple days. My burn has mostly left the stabbing and stinging phase and is moving on to itching. I think that may have been the constant distraction keeping me from following up on yesterday. I seriously can't wait until it's gone completely.


Again, I don't really quite feel like starting. I got up a bit late but I did my chores and read quite a bit more news and "news" than I really needed to.

I had my coaching call yesterday. We talked about the process and where I'm getting ready to have a breakout. We also talked about how having a daily schedule and structure can really enable you to be in the moment for the things that you want to do. I think I've finally crossed over into believing that.

People have been trying to get me to do it since 6th grade and I've always resisted. Again, it was one of those things that I saw as taking a lot of energy to keep up with as well as something that boring people did. I guess it's time to be a little boring.

Now I just have to figure out what I want out of every day. That's been my struggle this year. What will I work on? Where will I do it? I spend way too much time trying to answer those questions that not a lot of it gets done. At least this summer will be different in that respect. I'll need to know every morning what needs to get done and what it will take to do it.

Anyway, here we go.


One of the things I appreciate is having the goal bar set for me. That way I can just focus on staying above it. I don't really know how it gets set. But I don't really need to. If I need to perform above it, that's all I need to worry about.

An interesting observation on Sorter. I think only once have I clicked on a panel that didn't actually have a number behind it. The WHEREs have never been a problem, just the WHENs. I have slipped up on things like Rotating Dots, but not often. But I constantly one in Data Room that hadn't been lit. Maybe I'm just not watching there.

And for basically the only time ever I've made a mousing mistake. I knew to click on one, attempted to click on it but clicked on another somehow. It was actually rather confusing after the fact.

Did pretty well on Data Link. I had a few slips, but I got the highest average yet.

Let's go ahead and knock out rotating data link, real quick.

Hey, top score and top average! Though I feel I could have done better. Next time I'll have it.

Doing Input Panel right now. Junk keeps coming in and keeping me from concentrating on the numbers. I can't even tell you what, they just come and go and I'm sitting here like "um 5372? ... (nope)".

Definitley not my best day, but at least I've placed every time so far.

Wow had another mouse slip on the cube.
Really? Another one? I just gave my mouse a cleaning.

Big points in Data Room and a first place finish. Maybe whatever is distracting me on the others is keeping me from overthinking it.

Blind Input scoreboard is way crowded. I still feel a little fuzzy, like something is keeping me from giving it more attention.

Placed last on Asteroids. Oh well. At least they're really close together. I just need to crack 6.
