A Few Thoughts
I received and accepted the first offer. At least it’s a start.
Took me almost four hours/day to look for a new apartment, including go through Craigslist, send e-mail, and driving to see the area and apartment. It put off other projects, but in the long run, this one week effort can save more time for commute.
This week’s activity raises the following question:
How to efficiently use fragmented time?
- Collect thoughts actively
- Think ahead, plan ahead
- Detailed timetable
- Most Important FITST
- Focus on the present moment
Knowledge as Action.
