- Today at work I:
- Did the usual inbox trawls and day planning.
- Day planning I do with org-mode, org-agenda and org-timeline.
- Prepped for the meetings for the day.
- Mostly with mindmaps.
- Did some strategic planning for next year.
- Mindmaps and freeform writing.
- Some rote work
- processing incoming applications for things, updating website accordingly
- always good to think with this stuff how processes could be streamlined
- Minor website content change.
- Minor change, but thinking about the UX of it is always interesting.
- And how it affects client agreements/expectations, too.
- Planning and assigning work for my team.
- Bit of mindmapping combined with going through Jira.
- Reviewing new features.
- Code and functionality. Code review is in Github.
- Testing I tend to build the feature branch locally.
- Meetings.
- Sometimes I jot things down on mindmap.
- Somethings I record things straight into knowledge base.
- Sometimes I log things straight into org as TODOs.
- It's a bit haphazard to he honest. Could be improved.
- Emailing external partners.
- Always interesting the amount of work that goes into crafting an email to get across all the nuances of your position on something.
- Distracting myself with Slack threads not really related to what I'm doing.
- Did the usual inbox trawls and day planning.
- When I'm working, I don't log a lot in the journal, I noticed.
- So experimenting with logging thoughts on work activities.
- Not much detail on specifics, more reflections on activities and process.
- I quite enjoy it so far. Useful to reflect.
- Listened: Hotel Bar Sessions: Revolutionary Mathematics
- So far, discussing frequentism and Bayesianism schools of thought in probability.
- Patient privacy fears as US spy tech firm Palantir wins £330m NHS contract | …
- Absolutely gutted by this. Despite all the campaigning by Foxglove and Just Treatment, fucking Palantir still awarded the contract with the NHS.
- Makes me sick. This is not the kind of organisation our health service should be in partnership with.
