Notes &
Weekly review: September 5 - September 11, 2011
My first full week of employment. Dipped to an emotional low point mid-week, but recovered from it on Thursday. I now seem to be running on as little as five hours of sleep Monday-Friday, only getting to sleep longer on the weekend. But at least my sleep is regular!
I’ve added OneNote to my tools for managing what I need to get done. However, I’ve yet to truly integrate it into the workflow. Hopefully over the next week, I’ll be able to accomplish that.
