Daily Success July 21 – Very Good. That was a surprise.

Yesterday

Daily success yesterday was heavily focused on two things: seniorpilgrimage.com and getting my brain going on what might be called the robot strategy planning challenge. I made good progress on both, giving up on the website only because my brain had stopped working for the evening.

Most importantly, I finally got a formula for the “My Camino Day” posts that scores well on the search engine system, is reasonably easy to implement, and is compatible with the things that seem important to say – to describe. This is modeled on the system that makes these Daily Success posts both reasonably quick to create.

My exercise levels were ok at best, but a significant limitation was that my left knee was unhappy after a simple walk to Giant. Award ten points for injury limits and we move from high “Okay” to a firm “Very Good.” Ibuprofen helped, but even after two of the 800 milligram pills, which I can take but must limit, pain woke me during the night.

Today

Daily success today must be adapted to my left knee. It seems every so slightly better this morning, almost imperceptible, really. But that gives me some hope for the next month, much of which will be spent in France.

Things I must work on begin with seniorpilgrimage.com. Beyond that, there is the process of planning what might go into a DSIAC Journal article describing the SAGEbot concept. This will require a very careful balance between enough technical meat to justify the article (most of which I must create from whole cloth) and protecting my intellectual property. This is NOT an easy evaluation, but progress requires risk.

Exercise will have to be focused on the bike. Fortunately, I’m able to pump the pedals AND enjoy the guilty pleasure of surfing the web at the same time. That’s a major carrot.

Another thing for today will be some time organizing and expanding and trimming my book collection. It’s really another guilty pleasure, but one with a lot of pleasure and not much guilt because it is part of getting the house straightened out.

The Future

Daily success in the future continues to look very bright and very challenging. The brightness comes from a general plan of action with vacation, hospitalero training, the Camino, GoVentures’ future, and dealing with Sam. The flies circling the ointment are body related: my knee, my back, and the general effects of age. There is flexibility, however, because resting my body gives me time to work on the two robotic product lines’ futures.
