    DATE: January 21th, 2020

    What will you accomplish by end of January?

    • Finish reading through and completing exercises for "The Haskell Book"
    • Finish MVP for TinyDevCRM

    What did you do yesterday to work towards your goal?

    • Finished reading through and completing exercises for Chapter 21 / 31 of "The Haskell Book"
    • Made it almost through Chapter 22 / 31 of "The Haskell Book"

    What will you do today?

    • Finish reading through and completing exercises for Chapter 22 / 31 of "The Haskell Book"
    • Finish reading through and completing exercises for Chapter 23 / 31 of "The Haskell Book"

    Also got my first Pioneer.app weekly standup review (4 upvotes, 9 downvotes), better than I expected given I did absolutely nothing w.r.t. TinyDevCRM. Continuing to chug along.

    1. 1

      11:05PM ET

      RescueTime statistics: 7h 4m (85% productive)

      Didn't actually get to Chapter 22 or Chapter 23, but did start work on MVP for TinyDevCRM and set five hard requirements for myself: https://github.com/yingw787/tinydevcrm-mvp

      I also attempted to reach out to 130+ people on LinkedIn for YC Startup School W2020 but LinkedIn rate-limited me (lol), so I'll finish sending the rest of the invites tomorrow.

      I really need to finish The Haskell Book and I don't know how much wiggle room I have. I checked and I have about 500 pages worth of material left to go, and I'm doing <80 pages a day, which is down from when I was working over the holidays (makes sense, I have to walk places now). The adage that the last 20% takes 80% of the effort holds true at the moment.
