7.808.

I am giving serious consideration to changing my workspace. Half my desk remains unused and hidden behind a screen. It is that way because of how my monitors are mounted on the desk–something that doesn’t appear to be modable due to the physics of the desk. The space is dirty, and crowded, and fails to execute the basic tenet of “make me feel good about writing.” Therefore, I need to switch things up in an effort to start feeling more relaxed and focused in my writing.

What focuses me on writing? I think I’m a forest-punk kind of guy. I want to have tech from various ags all around me–the cobble together or reuse kind of stuff in an environment that feels like it is foresty. I know that is not a real word, but it conveys the idea of trees and green and lush, calm life. Sadly I work in an office that faces the rising son and gets a ton of heat and has bad (basically broken) AC that costs too much to fix, so the green is unlikely or at best seasonal. However, I can add a water feature and maybe manufacture some level of additional storage to hide my clutter. This is progress.

Some Thoughts:

  1. I am beginning to think about the things that keep me happy, focused, and thus productive. The time conversation was extremely helpful and enabled me to gamify progress a bit. I dig gamification in the sense that it helps me apply my thinking to a problem in a fun fashion.
  2. Ok, marbles and writing it is!

7.807. Waiver Wednesday

I have not addressed the Luka trade. I think we all feel like the Lakers won right there? At least in the short term the team is primed to be very good. I feel for players like Dalton Knecht who are full of promise but got dealt because of the big man issue. At the same time that deal fell through, so they are kinda back with the team? I’m not sure how that impacts the locker room. All I really know is Luka and Bron are dangerous. They create enough that the other weapons on that team are gonna have chances to score.

I am getting excited about spring ball. Though unorthodox, the way Northern Colorado approaches the situation is working to develop my kid. They are a gym first program. He needed that physical boost. Meanwhile he is loving in the film room and that is making him better. Should be a good season for him next year. He’s ready to pop out.

feeling the same about the young one. He’s got a lot of work to do in terms of learning the game but he too loves on film—just the til tok clip kind. He needs to turn the corner this JR year.

that’s all. Ten on the phone takes longer.

Some Thoughts:

  1. Solid writing today. Kept the phone out of the space for the second hour and really did good. All I needed was quiet.
