My Journey Into Deep Work – Retrospective Week 17

I spent this week in Mallorca with my parents. Stil I got to take time to sit down and get 13 (!) hours of deep work done.

Here’s my recap:

What went well

  • Still very inspired by “Amateurs vs. Pros”
  • Feel like I’ve made good progress
  • 1 Focus for the week: Work through “The Little Schemer” in Clojure. Finished Chapter 1 - 4.
  • Wrote and published 4 blogposts
  • Daily Yoga and especially Pranayama exercises
  • Had an idea for a meditation video
  • Very happy with my Psycho-Cybernetic Imagineering script rehearsals
  • Cooking good food with the family
  • Have a fireplace at home
  • Have a minimal but functional work-space set up

What went okay

  • Didn’t spend a lot of time outside, especially when there’s the mediterranean just across from me.
  • “Give and Take” is getting harder to read
  • Access to internet only sometimes
  • Still jumping a lot from idea to idea
  • Didn’t celebrate/appreciate/acknowledge my progress
  • Didn’t edit the blogposts
  • Lost interest in RedditGrowth while it still could become something valuable

What went bad

  • Have procrastinated on writing the meet up summary
  • Too reserved talking about my feelings with my parents

Action items

  • Take a daily walk
  • Celebrate successes and progress more often
  • Edit posts before publishing
  • Make a decision if I want to continue reading “Give and Take”
