Boot laptop, unlock screensaver, turn on sound card (external mixer), turn on stereo amp (mixer runs into it), switch display input to the laptop (it was left set to a desktop), hit super+p a few times until laptop and display agree they are connected. Write this toot.
Too many steps?

move the bits of detritus on my desk into a neater pile to my right. First order of the day is PhD corrections. Well, I'll sneek peak my work mail incase there are any fires to put out.
check mail quickly via aerc and imap. I'll miss this when it's gone. $NEWJOB is a Microsoft customer and the login SSO ceremony for that often takes 5-6 attempts before it works.
quicky find some background music to put on whilst I work. Launch navidrome in one tab and bandcamp in another. Find a Scanner album on Bandcamp pretty quickly, let's go with that https://quietdetails.bandcamp.com/album/forces-reactions-deflections
My PhD workspace is already open (workspace "1"). I've done all the corrections for chapters 1-4, and most of the "general points", leaving chapters 5-7. 6-7 are short lists. 5 is the remaining "meat". That's where I am focussing this morning. The specific piece of feedback I'm starting with is to work in another citation.
@pwaring It's been tricky. I need to submit soon to make my scheduled graduation, so that helps a bit. Re-jigging how I present my progress to myself helped: e.g. "39/55" isn't very motivating, but observing that I'm completely done with the first 4 chapters is much more uplifting.
