A new semester has started up, and I'm signed up for three classes, as well as being a TA, as well as doing research. The original plan was to go to the first session of each class, decide which one I liked the least, and then drop that one, but turns out I really like all of them. So I think this is going to be a busy semester for me.

As a result I've been pulling out all the productivity techniques I've had in a back pocket for a while and applying them. I'm using pomodoros for all of my work it's appropriate for; I'm scheduling my next day on the previous day (and am trying to schedule as many things as I can routinely, so that I'll only have one or two decisions to make about the next day each day). We'll see how well I stay on top of things, and which of these techniques end up doing the most work (if it's possible to disambiguate their effects).
