Double your time

So, I had an epiphany of sorts last night. I realized that if you are able to work double the normal number of hours in a day (and still be productive, it’s important to sleep), you can essentially double your effective time to meet a deadline.

Long week

Time at work:
Monday: 14:00 hours
Tuesday: 15:18 h
Wednesday: 13:10h
Thursday: 15:28 h
Friday: 13:05h
Saturday: 15:14h
Sunday: 15:15h

Total: 101:30h

Un-effing-believable. And here it goes again starting now (00:10 Monday morning).

20+ Hours

Up until now I would not have believed I could possibly work (productively, at knowledge work) this many hours per day, for this many days per week, for this many weeks straight, if you had told me.

It’s… interesting.

Stupid Word

Dear Microsoft Word,
Please stop trying to outsmart me. I promise you that I really want to select the letters I drag the mouse across, and not the surrounding words.

Thanks,
