Today was the first day of 'Operation Salvage'.
An effort to ensure that the overall 21-day push ends with consolidated gains and a stable platform for future progress.
Which may make for pretty tedious blogging. Since the priorities are mundane — physical exercise, preparation for sleep, attaining good quality sleep, etc.
.Review
Not a highly productive day, but some definite 'wins':
- Got going a couple of hours earlier than previously
- Completed a tough cycle ride (chilly head-wind)
- Worked on Spanish until mid-eve
- Dug deeper into Vogt's 'principal parts' method
- Consolidated preterite
Counterpoints:
- Sub-par attention/focus
- Hardly surprising, on reduced sleep
