Exhaustion, an excellent motivator!

I'm assuming I actually know what the term 'productive' means.

PRODUCTIVE:
  • Finished off the first draft of The Novel, tentatively called 'The Deadroads' after a Rural Alberta Advantage song.
  • Scripted out the storyboard for the video shoot for the exhibition.
  • Finished editing all the damn text for the exhibition.
  • Looked after the recording of the audio program for the other exhibition.
  • Started the illustrations for the second book, What Do Witches Do?

NOT PRODUCTIVE
  • Ignoring the fact that a first draft naturally assumes a second draft.
  • "Started" is not the same as "finished".
  • Eating far less than I ought to.
  • Not sleeping enough.
  • Miscalculating the coffee:productivity ratio.
  • Relying on admin to process requests through procurement at a reasonable rate.
  • Flying to Halifax. Fun? Oh, yes. Productive? Not so much.
  • Once again hoping that stoking personal karma is a way to stockpile travel points.
Note that the second list is longer than the first. No surprise.
