Woke up around 8. It was not that hard since I was waking up by 9 over the weekend. Working from home.

Finished a bunch of dumb tasks, but feeling blue for some reason. It must be cause I slept 4 hours on Friday and Saturday – I can recognize this feeling. Nothing matters. But work is even easier that way.

I read some good reviews of PDF Owl – that was encouraging. Interestingly, some students reached out to me about getting a discount or a free license for them since they are students. Well, in fact, I already priced it with students in mind; but now I think about it, people want to have an exclusive discount, while the actual price point is not as important to them. I'd be better off if I priced it double and offered a discount for students and researchers. Then they'd feel good about getting the discount even though paying the same price. That must be some fundamental rule of marketing, but I feel like I rediscovered it at home.

I met with Justin 6-7pm. He's planning to work on his project for 10 hours per week. That is kind of light. We should scale down the project, I guess. He's a high-school student that I'm mentoring this summer.

It was super windy outside, but the sunset was bright red and charming. I slept by 11.
