October 17

Edmund Portnoy Z"L (זכרונו לברכה) passed today. Sad day. May his memory be a blessing.

I made the most of it. Took another bike ride to Starbucks like yesterday. Answered a bunch of emails, removed advising holds, stuff like that. Now it's 1:05 AM, I'm up too late again, and I need to get to bed.

I wanted to make a quick entry to say a few things:

  1. While on my run today, I had the thought to "just dig in" and get myself panting while on the run. That is the attitude I need to apply to my work as well. 
  2. I must be relentless. I must budget my time wisely, heavily favoring the tasks that are most important.
  3. When I got into the groove while practicing bass yesterday, it started to get easier. It was almost like, once I got into a rhythm and just played tune after tune, my attitude and approach to The Bass changed. I took more creative risks. I expressed myself more. I think I can apply this approach to research as well. This drives home the fact that I need to create, create, create.
  4. Why not start my day with a smile, and perhaps a nice tune? Some Bach or maybe a chant.
