Links, Week 9: Generating investment


Writing: 26 hours, 41 minutes
Wasted time: 8 hours, 24 minutes
Gmail: 2 hours, 59 minutes
Neutral: 3 hours, 3 minutes

My best ratio yet, 3:1 writing versus wasting time. I've taken to editing my old posts, even if nobody will ever read them. And I still have some long-form pieces in the works (alcohol, publishing) that will hopefully come out next week. I'm also beginning to wonder how this blog will work in the Philippines, when I'll be without internet.
