 A lot happened today. Made some strong headway in my work. Heard some rough news about a colleague. Prayed for her. I had ordered some earplugs but because I ordered them without my specs, had sent them to some other address. Strange how luck moves.

Got really angry with my cook. Sometimes she behaves very entitled. But it was okay a few minutes later. People who work are easy to forgive.

Today I received some feedback on my work that taught me something - how to think holistically in terms of experience. It is easy to do that for some types of learning that one is used to - like e-learning, in-person training sessions, videos, game-based quizzes, etc. However, it is easy to slip up on when the assets are different - like podcasts, e-zines, newsletters for drip learning, etc. So, such things you need to approach in terms of levels. In the first level, you sketch out the whole solution on paper. In the second level, you look at the operations of that solution - from beginning to end, from middle to beginning and end, from end to beginning, from anywhere to anywhere. This sort of hop, skip, and jump analysis helps to stress test the logic of your design. And the logic of the design is the nook where deep and solid learning experience rest.

But I really am exhausted and tired. So many meetings about the same thing. 

I think everybody should answer s question, "How did I become better today?" as part of their status report. It needn't be something they share with anyone. But something we do and keep for ourselves and then at the end of the week, learn how much we have improved and how much we have stagnated.

Well...this is good. Ordered for charred skewers from Earth Cafe. I love, love, love that place! I think people who shun vegan food miss out on so much fine eats!

Just returned from the gym. Will wash up, have dinner, warm coffee and see if I can get some work done.
