dividing the day into small tasks, one at a time, and lots of rewards. i will finish 50 lines of the battle of maldon, make dinner, spend one hour and one hour only sifting through the angel island collection and picking out things i can use for the paper - and go to bed BEFORE MIDNIGHT. and tomorrow is thursday, so after my morning class i can come home early and call cristina. it may not be very efficient, but it is a plan and a forward looking one. so there.
