Too Many Things To Do

Last updated: Wed May 3 13:34:12 2006.

This document provides an approximate list of the unscheduled things I should be doing, along with a note as to when they appeared on the list. This list focuses on work-related tasks, with a few home tasks thrown in. If you know of something that you think I should be working on and that you don't see listed here, please let me know.

As is typically the case, as soon as the semester started, my to-do list fell by the wayside. In this case, I think it happened in late August 2002. Hence, most of these tasks are very old. I'm starting again in mid-February 2003. Okay, maybe I should start again. It's now May 2006.

To Do Soon

• Update the to-do list (DAILY) [Added 3 May 2006]

To Do Before the End of the Semester

  • Exams
  • Homework 1

• Finish Tutorial books [Added 3 May 2006]
• Grade 152 exam (due Monday the 8th)

Some Fun Things

These are generally long projects (but fun) that I'll do when I have sufficient time. Some involve computing, some don't. The names make sense to me, but may not make sense to you.

• Art project one: The post-web (or at least a manifesto for this project).
• Game one: Frantic Fuzzies.

Normal Things

These tasks typically take under two or three hours. Some should take under 30 minutes.

Medium Things

These tasks typically take about a day (perhaps half a day, perhaps two days).

• NSF proposal (more than two days, less than a month). [Added 3 May 2006]

Big Things

These tasks will typically take the equivalent of a week to a month of full-time work. I almost never succeed in getting all of them done.

• Clean office [Added July 2002] [Persistent problem]
• Clean basement [Added July 2002]

Papers and Other Writing

Good papers take a lot of time. The amount of time varies depending on the topic and the length. Here are some I should be writing.

• NSF REU proposal (Due Sept. 15) [Added July 2002]

Software Projects

Who knows how long this stuff will take?
