Weeknote #7 (20241013-20241019)

meta

Bit of a weird week — had jury duty on Monday, which ended up amounting to nothing, then gave lab meeting on Tuesday, which went fine, then decided to take Friday off as a mental health day.

did

• reported for jury duty, almost got to see the inside of a court room, and then in the end got sent home because the defendant copped a plea at the eleventh hour (actually probably more like 930am, but…)
• wrote and presented a lab meeting on “getting things done”, the book and productivity system — seemed to go okay? i’m horrible at evaluating how a talk went, but i’ll get feedback as i talk to people
• increasingly realizing that i’m starting to experience some serious anxiety around the election. not sure what i can productively do about that other than grit my teeth and keep my fingers crossed…
• attended/hosted a Hack Salem social meeting

read
