Focus | |
November 22nd, 2017 | |
---------------------------------------- | |
I recently wrote [0] about a desire to focus my time and energy on | |
one thing at a time in an effort to see something to completion. | |
I'm addicted to hobbies--that's the nice way of saying I get | |
distracted by new things easily. | |
I'll put that focus to the test over the next two weeks while we | |
take a vacation to see family. Rather than bringing a hodgepodge | |
of things I settled on two books on Haskell. Learn You a Haskell | |
for Great Good, by Miran Lipovaca, and the O'Reilly book, Real | |
World Haskell, are sitting next to me and have already been | |
getting a good deal of attention. I'll pop on SDF here and there | |
to check IRC, phlog, email, etc, but otherwise I'm going to try my | |
best to keep focus. | |
I'll miss my slide rule, and my spinning wheel, and my Shakuhachi, | |
and all the other things I love to play with. They'll be waiting | |
at home for their turn next. | |
