Expectation: come to the lab, work like crazy for two hours, have lunch, organize some stuff, work like crazy for two more hours, attend a meeting, workday done.
Reality: come to the lab, turn on the computer, wait over one hour for Windows Update.
Lessons learned:
-
I should always have printed papers to read in my backpack, so I can always work offline
-
Is it possible to carry my laptop with me all the time?
-
I had a plan, but the plan is worthless now: after the update is done, I will do a new plan. Eisenhower: “Plans are nothing, planning is everything” (see also this video by Thomas Frank)
