Moving On

This week was hard. I keep telling myself that I'm looking forward and not dwelling on the past, and that keeping busy and setting goals will motivate me, but it's often hard to summon the motivation to be active. Especially when it's so easy to let my mind drift over whatever subject it happens to encounter on the internet, obsess over it for a few hours, and then drop it. Which is the opposite of productivity.

Even gaming is practically productive at some point.

But yes, I did set goals. I am intending to learn Python and even if it's not resume-level I think it will be good for me to work at something that has actual success possibilities. Although I am also concerned about the practicality of my work skills, which have advanced not at all over the past four years. Without a degree, two classes in MATLAB hardly look CV-worthy.

I sent out a couple of feelers for jobs I'm suited to. Until I get a phonecall or email there's not much else I can do except try not to worry.
