Neural Networks and a so so day ...
Today, once again I got up early, around 5:30 am, had a shower, and got down to work on completing the neural network chapter from the course Machine Learning on Coursera by Andrew Ng. I am now in chapter 5 and need to finish the backpropagation chapter. Once I get the backpropagation to work, I will start to train the neural network to create websites. At least, this will be the 1st step towards creating training a neural net.
After which I went to the grocery store to get some groceries. Around noon, I had a slight headache and wanted to take some rest. At 1:00p.m. I had a video call with a mastermind friend and we were able to set up a form on his blog. After which I did my Tacfit Commando. We then went out to look for Christmas lights and I wanted to buy a bag for my tools. We first went to Rona and then home depot. In-home depot I was able to find a tool bag in a set of 3 for $29.99. It seemed like a good deal. When we came home, I got a chance to organize my tools. It was something I wanted to do for a while and I finally got it done. Happy with it.
I had a set of goals to be accomplished today, but I did not get even half done. Why is that?
My goals for today were:
- Machine learning NN and start training - 6:45 - 10:00
- Work on Radio and write a proper device driver - 1:00 - 4:00
-Train websites - 6p.m - 8 p.m.
Except for a bit of machine learning NN, and finishing up the backpropagation chapter, I seriously did not get anything done. one of the reasons, my headache caused a bit of discomfort when looking at the computer. Two, I had a call with a friend plus we went out and I did not account for the deviations. To accomplish my daily goals, I need to factor in all the distractions, deviations, and breaks. Then I need to hard block the times where I need to sit down and concentrate to get work done. Mornings are when I am very alert and can get quite a bit of cognitive work done. It is during this time where I need to focus on the most difficult and cognitive tasks. This time must be reserved for drone development, A.I., or critical features of ANTSAND.
Tomorrow morning I will try to finish the backpropagation assignment by 10:00 am. This way I will get the most important task done 1st. The 2nd most important task is to get the radio working. There are two main tasks for tomorrow. What can distract me? A lot of things. But it is important, first I don't get a headache. Two I do not have anything disturbing me during my work times. It is from 6:00 am to 10:00 am and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. I want to have a good 8 to 10 hours of high-quality work every day. This has to be the case for the next 3-4 months till I get a drone flying.
