Productivity<\/h2>\n

\ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n

I determined the initial work-in-progress limits for my work projects, and I was reminded of the value of such limits.<\/strong> I target 5 to 10 hours a week for project work, but last week I got sidetracked enough, mainly by music, that I missed even the lower end of that range, which highlights the importance of managing work with the system\u2019s capacity in mind. This week I\u2019ll continue the Kanban setup with my work tasks, hopefully with less distraction from other interests, and eventually I\u2019ll end up with a visualization for my work that will help me manage it more purposefully.<\/p>\n

Nature<\/h2>\n

I met a toad.<\/strong> On the way to my car Monday morning I thought I spied the chipmunk I\u2019ve seen around, but its movements were too slow and jerky, so I took a closer look and found this amphibian, which my app said was some kind of North American toad. I don\u2019t know what it was doing in our parking lot.<\/p>\n
