Making of Javantea's Fate 320

Greetings, I hope you are well. If you are reading this, perhaps you are. You are probably aware that reading this is supplementary to life as opposed to required. I write this so that I can get enjoyment and you read it for the same purpose. I hope we are on the same wavelength, you and I. On good days like today I work on required things 15 hours each day and the rest is usually spent eating. On not so good days (like yesterday) I watch movies, anime, and read Slashdot for about five hours. But yesterday was not a bad day since I got ~10 hours of work done. As long as I can get a large amount of required work done everyday, my goal will be accomplished. I have done the scheduling required for this task and I am annoyyed that I was unable to complete the task in the time I gave it, but I have assumed that exactly that would happen and have given myself extra hours to work on it. But that means that I have to work harder. Working harder doesn't always work. For today's lesson I will try to glance on the topic of working harder.

No really, its actually another day... Well, I wrote this 12 hours after I posted the last MoHM, but you won't get it until tomorrow. I'm still pretty motivated to work on Hack Mars. In fact, I'm just rearing to go. I'm going to switch up my sleep schedule so that I can work all night tonight on 4 hours of sleep. That way I can hopefully skip one four hour sleep per four. That would become 12 hours of sleep per 2 days or 6 hours per night. But I will sleep 3 times, so I plan on no loss in quality of work. Have you ever tried it? Skipping any sleep? The main thing is to go to sleep when you are tired. Don't go to sleep because it's 3 AM. When your eyes start to hurt, you can keep on until you find a good place to stop. Sleep when you find yourself having problems with vision or other dull ache or pain. But don't sleep long. Set your alarm and stick to it. If you are motivated, you'll wake up no matter how many hours. And if you can trick yourself into thinking that you're getting enough sleep, you can be more productive by skipping some sleep. I've only done it a few quarters (mostly college), but it works well. But DO NOT skip sleep for work that you don't like. That's funny, right? Well, I want to warn you that skipping sleep for bad reasons is silly. You can always get work done. You have 80 hours easy per week. That's not the problem. Not having enough time is caused by something. Debug your life and see why you aren't using your time correctly. If you complain about missing sleep for lame work, I have no sympathy. Skipping sleep is for people who have a mission, not a 5 year plan.

0.7 days and another MoHM hits the shelf. I'm working on Hack Mars in case you're new here. I hope today's lesson will be short because I want to work. Below is a screenshot of what Hack Mars v4.0 r0.22 looks like.

Another 1.5 days, another MoHM. I'm late because I stayed up until 5 AM helping my friend clean his office and put in a shelf. Hanging out in the early hours is cool, but it is hard on one's nerves. There is a police officer, T. Bacon (no joke) who is a nice guy. He stopped my friend and I for a headlight and was very nice about it. I hate to admit that without thinking of it, I said, "Thank you, Officer Bacon." That probably took a year off my life. I was just trying to be nice. It's nice to know that my friend doesn't have any warrants out for him. You never know when you live in the city if a person you meet is a trustworthy citizen =P. There are thousands of warrants out and the person you're sitting next to may be -- a criminal! Bleh, who gives a fsck? I have proof that there exists at least one nice officer in the SPD. I also have proof that there are at least a dozen fascists in the SPD.
