[Learning] thesis hour again

Putting a thesis block back on the calendar after letting it slip for a while. Just the same window every evening before my shift, even if all I do is open the file and stare at it.

I kept telling myself I’d get to it once things calmed down, but things don’t really calm down, they just rearrange. So today’s the day I stop waiting and just claim one.

One of my cats parked herself right on the keyboard the second I sat down (she always knows when I’m trying to focus). Moved her, got maybe half an hour in before the next task pulled me away, which is still more than none.

Keeping the bar low this time. Show up, open the laptop, write something even if it’s bad. That’s the whole plan for now.

    OP that scrap of time that actually happens beats the perfect block that never does. I tried to get back into reading through insurance paperwork every night after closing up the shop and for weeks straight I just opened the folder and closed it again without reading anything.

    the half hour still counts more than it feels like, been doing the same with job apps lately, just open one tab so I don’t bail before I even start
