preparations and priorities.

today hasn't been very productive;
i can't afford many of these types of days, for a while.

then again, i'd probably be much more productive if i'd stop worrying and just keep working. fear and worry can cripple the mind, as follows:

when you have so many things to do,
when you have so little time left,
well .. what do you do first?
are you sure that you wouldn't be more efficient if you do <this> instead?



in such cases, it's good to have deadlines, because they force your hand towards priorities. for example, on monday i'm slated to talk.

this means that i should write the talk today -- which i am doing now -- then sleep on it, and revise it tomorrow. maybe ..just maybe.. it will be ready by monday.


ah, well. i should be fine, either way.
  • if the talk goes well, then great;

  • if the talk goes badly, then at least my friends' talks will look even better by comparison. nobody will laud over me after my talk, which means that i can disappear more easily and get more work done.

people have told me to be more optimistic, after all. q:
