The Plan kind of fell by the wayside again, which is okay, because it was due to good things with higher priority. I was doing surprisingly well with adding an hour of reading every day before that, anyway. In the end, I got close to a bronze medal, but didn't quite make it. I think I'll keep the same requirements for this month. Unfortunately, I won't be pleasantly distracted as much now, so I'll have no excuse not to do more work.

1. Health



I still need to do more weights stuff. I've probably delayed long enough that they'll have another orientation session, so maybe that will help.
I haven't cooked anything since the last Plan post, a month ago, so I need to start using some of the farm share veges.
I want to bring my lunch from home more, too, and get up earlier, but still get more sleep.

2. Lab



Considering how little I did last week, this isn't bad. If I just do my 2.5 hours of work plus an hour of reading every day, I'll be okay. I want to concentrate on doing things that actually move my project forward, though, rather than just filling in the time.

* stage 1: finish optimising the assay conditions, repeat the big set of experiments, analyse
I haven't finished repeating these experiments because I want to change them slightly and I haven't figure out exactly how yet. That needs to be a priority.

* stage 2: make/find the new reagents I need, use them
I need to pick the most important ones to make now.

* stage 3: in vivo stuff.
I can actually try this now! Or almost, anyway. I should start this month, anyway.

3. Social
I was back to hiding in my room today so I should avoid doing that again. I joined a book club, so I'm hoping that will be fun.
I also got a message from someone at the social anxiety group therapy place, so maybe something will happen with that.

I don't really have goals for the other categories. The Plan is shrinking... I don't want to waste all my free time on aimless procrastination, though, so guess that's another aim. I kept track of my time a while ago, in an attempt to figure out where it all went, but I never got around to posting about it. I might copy Styleygeek and try that again this week.
