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.

Tasks and Accomplishments:

  • [✔] Washed laundry
  • [✔] Module 2 test
  • [✔] Completed coursework M3U11
  • [✔] Returned due library books
  • [✔] Cleaned hiking shoes
  • [✔] Acquired a Presto card for emergency transit use
  • [✔] Set up OneNote for GTD workflow
