Highlights

• I’m finding it easier to balance my time as a new father.
• I moped about two of my blog posts doing poorly, and then they did well.
• I experimented with a stacked diff workflow for software development and liked it except for git’s weaknesses.

Goal grades

At the start of each month, I declare what I’d like to accomplish. Here’s how I did against those goals:

Enjoy family time

• Result: Enjoyed time with my wife and son.
• Grade: A

I found it helpful to remind myself that even when it seems like I’m going long stretches without working, I’m making that choice, and I’m still mostly in control of my time.
