Optimizing Resources

I am at the library and feeling quite zonked.  Once again, I think I have overestimated my capacity to be productive!  There has been a fair bit of travel of late, for research, personal and work reasons.  First Henley, and then last weekend in Ottawa, and this week for work.  I am really looking forward to some vacation time which I have coming up shortly.  I am going to be intentional with taking several days off from research even though I am feeling a bit behind because the last month has been quite chaotic.

On the upside, I did manage to attend an SPSS workshop this week and have another one scheduled for next Thursday.  Additionally, I have a tutorial scheduled for Tuesday morning with a Henley resource via video conference.  I have one more hour left at the library so I am going to focus on preparing questions for both of these learning opportunities.  This way I can optimize the time spent with them and hopefully be able to conduct some focused analysis when I am on vacation.

Even though I am tired, I am looking forward to time on the tennis court this afternoon.  It is always great to be outdoors in the summer and I suspect that I will feel energized afterwards.
