August 2018 Progress Overview

August saw an improvement over July’s performance, which was expected as my health improved, and the RSI injury healed enough not to hurt when I typed. By the end of the month I was typing a regular 5k with notes. The goal for September is to increase that to 7k of words and notes as a minimum. I did get sidetracked earlier in the month as I improved my business knowledge, and that learning will continue. After trying out a couple of different work schedules, I think I’ve found one that’s both acceptable, and achievable and sustainable, but only time will tell. I have a list of tasks as long as my arm, so the long days will continue, and I won’t be terribly social. Hopefully, that will ease, coming into October or November. With that in mind, here is what was achieved in August:
