Day 2

I promise, I think the only way I was able to muster up the strength to do anything today was because I knew I needed to stay on track with this plan. Also, I knew I had to report back to this blog. Somehow, even if no one is reading it, you just don't want to think about admitting failure on a public blog. I got 3 of 5 (or 3 of 4) things done today. (I guess that is still admitting failure.) One of the things was directly tied to another thing that I was not able to complete. It was actually just an e-mail, so now I am questioning whether or not it should have been on the list in the first place.

Anyway, I got through the first 3 tasks rather quickly, along with a 4th that I didn't realize was not actually on the list. But then the slow down came. When I finally sat down to get one particular analysis done, I realized that I had set up my data set completely wrong for this specific type of analysis! AHHH! I spent FOREVER setting that data set up wrong! Good grief. I knew that if I tried to fix it today, I would make all sorts of mistakes. I just didn't have it in my by then. So I swapped out a task for another day instead. I guess I actually got 3 of today's tasks done + 1 that I thought was listed for today + another that I swapped out. In then end, I guess I still did 5 of 5 tasks for today. That's not failure after all. :)
