My biggest problem is that there are so many little things that I am starting to have to try and keep track of and do each day that I am getting overwhelmed. I know that, logically, they are not super difficult to do and it should be feasible, but that does not really help me out very much. Not quite sure what to do about that yet.

I think Routines could be the trick.  Cognitive Load Theory tells us at some point, individual items are going to get too mich to handle at once in working memory.  A Routine could take up as much cognitive load as an individual habit.  I think this has been how I can get myself to do many smaller habits and count it all as one single X on the Habit Tracker.[/justify]

I will admit that routines are something I really would like to be using, for as long as I am not using routines and ending up doing lots of little tasks it is going to make things difficult. On the other hand, I really dislike when I get started working on something and then have to stop in the middle of it and change to something else. It usually is next to impossible for me to actually get anything done on any of the tasks that come after the interruption.

See now thats an interesting point, and could signify that you should ensure your Routines are "air-tight" as in they were actually built up from successful Chains first, and later even a Routine action to make sure, giving as many weeks as posisble in the spotlight and under strict scrutiny to make sure they are fully solid before relying on them in the Habit Tracker.

But once they are in, it definitely seems like a big (cognitive) load off![/justify]

I will have to look into consolidating things to see if that helps here in the near future! Really cool to be able to attend a birthday party, I hope that you had a good day today my friend!

I guess allergy season is here again, can't say I am a fan of it. Have been sneezing so much the past few days that I can hardly think straight.

Gotta make sure to get the 4 parts submitted, still going to PT but slowly making progress. Had one of the puppies learn today that breaking into the tomato patch and trampling them for fun is a very bad idea.

[justify]Very cool that for the first week in I don't know when everyone (Explorers, that is) got their 4 parts AND their 7 study reports submitted!  Definitely a giant accomplishment thanks to you and all Explorers and obviously Mr. Tracker for tracking us! Niiice!

Also bad dog bad! (on the sly I kind of laugh but then Marcus sees me and that is no bueno!)[/justify]

Well, now am getting to determine whether or not I need to start electroplating some components in addition to setting up virtualization. I guess that hoping for an easy solution would be too much.

I did manage to get a computer mostly built, but this is turning into a bigger and bigger project. Not sure how much I am going to be able to do before the version control meeting, assuming my systems are up and running at all by this time tomorrow.

Finally managed to get 2 of the 3 computers up and running, still have a surprising amount of work to do.
