To answer you and nextos both, I don't have a hard goal. As the saying goes:
"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving."
I'm optimizing and seeing what happens. If I hit a stubborn limit, and nothing works to break it, I'll accept it. But at least I'll know what's going on, and as you say, I may plan better the rest of my day.
- nextos 13y agoThat's a great piece of advice. Being goal-less but focussed has had an incredible positive impact on my productivity.
