Principles of work at campus

  1. Things to take: keys, moneybag, laptop, charger, smartphone (fully charged), the phone to experiment with in box, the biometrics book, the little notebook, the space pen, an empty flask, and a book of puzzles.
  2. Buy the coffee on your way to campus in the morning.
  3. Pick an open space on 4th floor; surely not the PhD room with its problematic door and high population density. You do not need to chat, you need the comforting, humming noise. If no space on 4th floor, go to the library.
  4. A flask of water, one Starbucks coffee (between 9:30 and 10), and lunch (between 12 and 12:30): no more foods or drinks.
  5. At lunch (12), shutdown laptop. After lunch you can relax without using smartphone or laptop: may be do some puzzles; but stop at 1:30. Reboot laptop no later than 1:45. 
  6. One task a day, plan it the night before.
  7. 4 solid hours is enough. [may be 10-12, 2-4]
  8. No FB. If something need be shared, take note; share it later -  from home.
  9. No smoking, you can do it on returning home.
  10. No ordering-of-books from library; if some books are needed, take notes of which one and why do you think it is needed; when at home think hard, if still think needed order them from home and pick them up when you walk back home.
  11. No printing; unless a manuscript is complete and you need proof-reading.
