Digital Diary - Entry #1 (of 1)
Pre-Ramble
Hehe, pre-ramble - geddit?
I'm going to try to set up a daily (or some other regularly scheduled) digital diary with the tasks I want to accomplish and updates with details of how I get on with doing them. I figure this will help in some way with keeping myself accountable (I think I will set upon my friends the task of regularly perusing the journal index page, or whatever I end up naming it, to check in on what I'm doing and pester me to be more productive). This also gives this site some more purpose, beyond an archive of old written works.
Tasks
The following are tasks which I should've set myself to accomplish today (as well as the ones I acc did) and, in the margin, described their current status.
I should have...
- Chased up the contacts my mum spoke to about helping me find a job, following up with them on what they can offer.I messaged the LinkedIn lady yesterday (though I need to see if she responded) and comletely forgot about following up with the second contact (the one I had emailed before but she didn't check her inbox carefully enough)
- Applied for jobs and vacation schemes.
Wasn't motivated enough today tbh but I'll defo at least do the following:
- Check application deadlines for vac schemes
- Correct my CVs and proofread
- Email recruitment firm about availability
- Apply for 5x 'normal' jobs
- Look into upcoming vac scheme deadlines
I finished...
- Tidying up the kitchen and washing dishes... (mid, I know)
- Tidying the big room
- Tidying my desk... (I should be tidying the living room rn)
- Creating (at least the first draft) of my website!! Very happy with this one.
Journal bit
I don't know if I like this format, actually. It's a bit convoluted typing all this up and sorting it out...
I figure this may be the first and last of the daily 'todo list' bits and bobs and maybe I'll just keep it as a journal. Should certainly be far easier on my fingers and waste less time. We shall just have to see.
I don't really feel the effort or motivation to do a proper journal today and shall leave everything off for the Taha of tomorrow
Bye-byeeeee
