Amazing day, got up at 6 then spent all day working (even beyond when I normally quit!)
- Spent 6-7 on morning routine, shower etc.
- Spent 1h drilling integrals, I still suck, but I'm slowly getting better
- Spent 7h reading Norvig's "Artificial Intelligence a Modern approach"
- Spent 2h working on my review of Norvig's book (writing it while I read it)
- Spent 2h studying Jaynes and writing a blog post about it. Hopefully this inspires more people to look into it
In total, I worked almost nonstop from 6am - 7:30pm. A total of ~13h productive work, why was I so productive, and how can I repeat this in future?
- Worked away from everyone (on the roof) this made it hard for family to bother me, another good strategy would be leaving home and working in the woods somewhere (or the center?)
- No internet most of the day, Just read Norvig and made Anki cards on my phone. Did not even have my computer with me until 4pm.
Also read TurnTrout's AIMA review which had some gold productivity advice, and introduced me to the technique of Murphyjitsu which I will now employ.
I'll dedicate some time tomorrow to read the whole Hammertime sequence. I need to learn rationality properly not by osmosis and slow experience.
Things I did bad: Stayed on my computer too long after dinner, It's 10pm now and I have to get up at 6. I meant to get off my computer at 8ish (or 9 at the latest). Oh well
