Basel and I am flying out to see March Madness today.

So I am "reactively" working. IF it needs my immediate attention it gets done other stuff can wait.

Don't really remember much about today . It started off normal enough then around mid morning I think I started hallucinating , I was seeing all my Rolex/Tudor nightmares over & over again and the images kept on appearing again & again hurting my eyes until tears rolled down my cheeks . One of my co workers ,came to my rescue & drove me home .I am now shivering & shaking but slowly recovering , this has to be one of the most unproductive days I have ever had .

Care to elaborate on the range of your scale and what shenanigans?

Very productive.

Didn’t even realize it was the day until late morning.

Very productive. In Tokyo at "work" with a few days to kill, so naturally instead of worrying about what some stuffed shirts in Switzerland were doing I spent it fully enjoying the nicer-than-forecast weather, a few National holiday goings on, a couple hours wandering through an amazing light/digital art museum, a giant burger at Munch's and some incredible wagyu, eel, chicken, lotus, and other assorted delicacies at a little friend-of-a-friend's place nobody's ever heard of.

Didn't think about watches once except whenever I looked at the one on my own wrist, but that was just to tell the time.

98% of the time, I love my job.

(Okay okay. Maybe when I first woke up during coffee #1 I peeked just a tiny bit at what was happening elsewhere)

After my gruelling morning walk I drank coffee on the verandah for an hour and read my book on the WW2 military campaign for the Dutch bridges.
Then it was time for lunch.
After lunch I went out and bought some items to service my cars and then spent a couple of hours in my local wine merchant looking for something to cellar.
Then it was almost dinner time.
It was a very productive day.

Thursday is my favourite day of the week. Was a good day clearing some backlog and getting some new balls rolling

Would binge watching Netflix all day be considered productive?

I’m still working, been going since 3:30am. If I want to afford this hobby I have to WORK! Lol

So I would rate my productivity 10/10.

We're not allowed to speak those dirty four-letter words in our home! Actually, I did work on my tan. Does that count?
