Day 335: Week 49 Plan

status

Week 48

Woah, this week flew by. It’s probably because I did my week 48 planning late, but I’ve also gotten used to #quarantinelife.

So, uh, I know exactly what this week’s evaluation is going to look like… all reds.

  • Life

    • ❌ Be in bed by 9pm every night
    • ❌ Meditate for 30+ minutes every morning
    • ❌ Do yoga every morning

  • Browserflow Cloud

    • ❌ Allow saving files
    • ❌ Allow taking screenshots
    • ❌ Implement loops
    • ❌ Allowing scheduling flows

What happened?

I got too sucked into Browserflow, and everything else like going to sleep early and my morning routine fell to the side.

After sticking to my routine perfectly for the first week of quarantine, my discipline fizzled out in favor of coding all day. Thankfully, I still went to sleep at or before midnight every day of the week (tonight, my last night of quarantine, is the exception — it’s 1:45am and I can’t wait to finish this and go to sleep).

I’ve been getting deep into the code zone these past several days. The reason why all those Browserflow tasks above are marked as failures is because I ended up shifting my focus over to improving the recording experience starting the day after I made the plan above. Now recording is much improved, but now that I’ve largely finished the work, I’m not sure how important this was. I guess I’ll see how big of a difference it makes in my upcoming onboarding calls, but there’s a part of me that thinks that the deep focus I’ve had these last several days might have been better used for building the Browserflow Cloud stuff. Oh well! Still glad I was able to get all this work done for improving flow creation.

Holy smokes, I looked at how much time I spent on Browserflow this past week and it comes out to 65 freaking hours:

The last time I worked this hard was when I first started working on Browserflow back in June. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to lock in and get into flow for hours and hours on end, and I’m enjoying it quite a bit. To be honest, I wish I could spend another week in quarantine so I could ride this out and knock out some big parts of the Browserflow Cloud work, but my time is up! Freedom beckons.

Week 49

My quarantine technically ended 2 hours ago at midnight, so when I get up in the morning, I’ll be able to join society here. While I’m tempted to go find cafes and continue jamming on Browserflow, I want to take time to explore the city and start finding the places I’d like to frequent (BJJ gym, bouldering wall, etc.) so I’m going to take it easy this week and do more onboarding sessions instead of going hard at deep work.

Intention for the week: Explore Taipei!
