The question is how to procrastinate competently, in such a way as to be working on things that matter. The three types of procrastination are - "you could work on (a) nothing, (b) something less important, or (c) something more important. That last type, I'd argue, is good procrastination." Type-C procrastinators put off the small stuff to work on the big stuff.

DON'T BE SHY!

Week 25 of 2022 Already!

This week, I'll be

• We have visitors, and my time is socially obligated.
• Reading for knowledge some of the essays in the collection called The Columbia University Forum Anthology, 1957.
• Finish reading The Solace of Open Spaces by Gretel Ehrlich about sheep herding in Wyoming.
• This week, I promise to look closely at my procrastination unless I further procrastinate.

Haven't checked in for a while! Past 3 weeks have been busy with a freelance job that is well-paid but also taught me new technology that I usually miss out on in my apps because of backwards compatibility. I've now tasted the future, and it is a sweet taste indeed!

So on the upside, I've got

• 6 notes in the past week (been away 2 days for our anniversary)
• 16 the week before
• 21 the week before that, at the end of May
• 20 the week before that where I began to research

And I've modified and expanded old notes that tie the new tech topics together. So I've got like 60 notes on SwiftUI, modern concurrency via async/await, macOS 12 and iOS 16, etc. -- that won't fill a book, but it's plenty to blog about!

So it makes me a happy Zettelnaut, feeling quite productive and all

An old friend's wedding takes place this week, so we'll be heading to Berlin again for 2 days. The freelance gig will be more or less done and ready to ship and test this week, and that's going to be a relief.
