Git r done

This month feels like an aggregation of small and irksome tasks -- emails to act upon, articles to read, travel to arrange, deeds to follow-up, essays to write. I keep making ε-progress on the small tasks, context-switching too rapidly to accomplish something meaningful, juggling these many things while also trying to make large progress on my large task (research!). It takes a lot of brain space to keep so many things loaded in my RAM.

In the spirit of Merlin Mann's Inbox Zero, my rallying cry for the remainder of the month is thus: git r done! I aim to finish these tasks and clear all the irritation out of my mental cache.
