Cutoffs

When playing the efficiency game, there comes times where even though the optimal time saving activity is better long term, there is not enough time till the next deadline to do it. So you cut your losses and switch to the bad way. I had an automation I couldn't finish and had to drop an hour before the deadline the other day.

Today?

I'm busy with back to back events starting in 30 minutes until past when this post needs to go up.¹

I think I have about 40 minutes of work left on the post I was writing.

I think it's 40, so it's probably 60. I'm out of time.

So you get this post instead, which I know I can write, edit, and post from scratch in under 20 minutes.

Sometimes sacrifices must be made.

I'll try to make up for it later. That's the best anyone can do.

Nightly Notes

I suppose this post is a bit of a 404 page. Placeholder. I could have written this any day, instead of any other post, but you get it now because I have nothing else to give.

Feels like cheating, but I'd rather post this than something incomplete or skip a day. I could have avoided this with a backlog, but my backlog right now is all drafts which need an hour or more to flesh out and edit.

Besides, this is a topic I think is ignored in productivity and in the category of things I want to write about, I just have no time to articulate it.

Maybe I'll write more about it next time I run out of time,
