Q4 Progress Report: October Week 2

I made decent progress this week, though I wouldn't say I hit all of my targets. The only one I would say that I unequivocally achieved was completing a few solid job applications (plus routine chores which I don't bother mentioning).

However, I made decent progress in a number of areas. First of all, my sleep schedule is nearly under control, and I don't see any major reasons to expect that to change. I'm reworking my morning routine and this will probably help reduce the friction to getting up when there's not a specific deadline, and it's easier to go to bed on time when you've been up since early morning (believe me or not).

I also finished reading Introduction to Flight and have moved on to Rocket Propulsion Elements. I'm not planning to write a proper review, but left a few comments on Goodreads. My astrodynamics project is also wrapping up nicely. Writing it up won't take too long and may be finished by the middle of the week.

The move continues, but incremental progress isn't particularly interesting to report.

Specific goals for this week include maintaining the schedule and, hopefully, getting a haircut. I'd also like to update the about page on my blog (which is a touch out-of-date) and finish reading Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy. It's been an interesting read, but at this point having a third book in the rotation—which I read primarily on my phone, at that—is feeling more complicating than educating.
