This morning I sat down to start working and found myself flooded with excuses why I couldn't start working on UMSv2s4. "I have this other thing to do, and I have to upload these and then I have to wait for the uploads, and..."
"Wait... why do I have to wait for the uploads? I can work on UMS while - "
"But don't you think it would be much better if we just did this other thing while the uploads were going? And then we can start after that."
I allowed myself to be persuaded. Busy bee was I, for many hours, until at 2 PM I realized I had fallen into the trap. And then, in spite of all efforts and protests to the contrary, I started working on UMS v2 S4. The next thing I know it's dinner time. I was supposed to cook tonight, but I realized that my time is too valuable to waste time on cooking when I can just go get us fed at a submarine sandwich shop. (I had a sub for dinner, hahaha.) So I did that and then got back to work, saving at least 30 minutes. I also managed to magically have enough rewards points to make one of our sub sandwiches free, so feeding us saved 30 minutes and $13. My time is worth a lot more than the $13 I paid for this, even just 30 minutes of it, so it was a definite win.
Back to work, I managed to finish in less than one day a job that has never happened in less than 2 before, and I started late. I couldn't believe it when I finished. But that didn't slow me down. Then I started doing the next job, recording the audio. I have now managed to finish recording both voices and load up the DAW for the audio manipulation phase, but I am now dealing with having to go to bed. Amusingly, I don't want to; I would rather work instead, but I don't seem to have a choice, since doing so would disrupt not just my sleep schedule, but hers as well. The crazy thing is, once I pushed past the resistance, I have been going 100 miles an hour effortlessly, ever since. And, I have made no mistakes. Absolutely magical what Stage 3 is doing for me!
It should be finished being built on September 4th.
