I have been meaning to buy myself some new stage-wear and saw a few things that were in the Amazon Prime sale today, so I chose 3 items that totalled just under £8.00 for the 3! Brilliant.....I was about to press 'Buy' when I noticed that the order would have cost me nearly £20....with the standard delivery costing over £11.00. What's that all about. Why am I proud of myself? Because I didn't buy them!. "View my Commitment

FastExperimenter Jul 16, 2018, 9:56 AM"I*'m succeeding at this semi-vague commitment, but I*'m going to make things even better. I* had difficulty designing experiments to test some assumptions. But, I* did something with my Precalc homework that I* think would be effective if modeled for experimentation. Ron Larson, the author, asked me to handle the problems in a strange order. It basically asked me to use the graph that I* already used to find the zero to verify that the factors I* used does have the particular zero. It's redundant and makes me feel disquieted because I* have the hunch that I* cheated if I* used the graph too early. But, I* went back to the example, where he demonstrated how to do it. Instead of solving purely algebraically from the start, he (1) uses the rational zero test, (2) looks at the graph to see where the RZT and the graph match for potential zeros, (3) uses synthetic division to verify the zeros, then (4) long divides the original polynomial by the verified zero to discover new, probably complex/imaginary zeros. Modeling what he actually did, instead of following the weird method he asked me to do, helped me solve the problems wayyy faster and with more satisfaction, in a way that didn't feel like cheating nor wasting my time. This modeling process gives me such a dopamine rush (or boost in serotonin--I'm not sure about what hormone is actually at play here), that I* feel really excited to use this with experimentation. I* will ID experiments that have already been done, then base new experiments based on these models. Should make for very effective experiments."View my Commitment -
Alison2310 Jul 16, 2018, 7:50 AM"Who would have thought something like the threat of having to give money (no matter how small an amount) would have such an impact on my spending and saving! It's brilliant! Over the weekend I only spent £9.00 of my own money - unheard of! So far, I'm really impressed with myself and am keeping a really precise log of my how much I spend and whether I consider it a waste or not. Time will tell."View my Commitment

Alison2310 Jul 12, 2018, 1:10 PM"I'm owed some money for a small print job I've done for a friend, and, although I told her how much her job has cost me cost, she hasn't paid me yet. So I've contacted her and asked if she could check that my account details were correct - as a diplomatic way to check what her intentions are. Hopefully, she should be transferring the cash to my account tomorrow. Interestingly, I had forgotten that I'm owed money for work expenses this month, too, which I've already paid for, so that's a bonus....I think. You see,here's the problem with me.....because I don't calculate things the way a bank balance works, my figures don't add up - but to date I'm still in the black. Woohoo! The issue I'm always going to have is that my bank keeps a running total of what I'm spending and what my DD and SO's are but they may not come out of the account when I think they do. However, my initial calculation of my weekly/monthly spend is based on adding all my DD and SO's together so I know what I'm definitely going to have coming out of my account - but its not all on the same day. It's a worry."View my Commitment

Alison2310 Jul 11, 2018, 9:13 AM"I'm still plugging away at keeping a log of my spend but I'm struggling to keep it in tune with my actual bank balance. For instance, my log is suggesting that I've got less to spend now than I actually have according to my bank balance. Maybe I need to start again with an actual amount on 1st August and work out exactly how much I'll spend in August and take the rest away to put into my savings. My next action is to find out when my client intends to pay me for the work I've done for her. That could make a bit of a difference to my balance."View my Commitment

FastExperimenter Jul 7, 2018, 8:29 AM"Using Musk's def of the scientific method feels like it's the most helpful way to meet this commitment. It's really an ultimate way of getting as sure as possible about something (in my case, how to factor properly for Precalc). It's a superior way to ID what "Schrodingers" (axioms) I* should live and work by. I was having trouble factoring, as it was more complicated than I gave it credit for, and the book I'm studying assumes knowledge of the process. So, I started doing the process, and the basic reading (evidence gathering) I did helped me feel stronger in this area. I can only imagine what doing something like this for actual projects will do. So, I intend to use this method fully for almost all my projects. I'll apply the GTD process to the steps from the Elon Musk/Rolling Stones interview, so my next actions for the SM are clearly defined. This means looking at each step, at least as I come to it, and asking, "What's the next action?" (and then doing the action). Also, because there's so much reading usually, I should reallocate most of my free time to gathering evidence for questions (step #2 of the SM). So, if I don't know what to do, I should look at my reading list for the question, and start reading something from there. This will let me ID better axioms to live and succeed by."View my Commitment
