All goals listed earlier have been accomplished.

What do now?

The little stuff that's been accumulating until 'when I have more time'. Your underlings will hate your guts but that is what they are for. Their hatred is your validation.

I'm cleaning up the 'rats and mice' of my tasks. Whatever takes more than 10 minutes goes into a list for tomorrow morning. I'm ahead work wise so this is the perfect time to just clear our the shit.

Cheeky work day wank?

Best done at home though. Bit gross in the office.

I've still got a few things left on mine. Maybe you could do a couple of them?

Start on my assignment ✅️
Find some urgent cleaning that I've been ignoring for months but definitely needs to be done now✅️ (well, I did some washing I didn't really need to do)
Get back to my assignment✅️
Extra long dog walk. It helps me think and is not at all an attempt to avoid writing my assignment. Really. Honest!✅️
Get back to assignment. Reinforce with extra coffee✅️
73 additional toilet breaks caused by additional coffee ✅️
Make dinner. Plus desert. Sugar is good for the brain, right?✅️

~~Get back to assignment. More coffee. Doesn't need to be submitted until midnight and I can stay up late.
Half arse finishing the assignment. Contemplate whether 5% late penalty will be offset sufficiently by benefits of another day to edit.~~

Submit assignment✅️
Sleep

I have managed to complete a first draft which is good. Now I need to shove in a few references and cut out about 300 words. Which considering it is an 800 word assignement might be a bit of a challenge.
