Lost my laptop, possibly due to a virus, and now I have to rebuild it. Yeah, losing a laptop is hard. On the one hand, I have to be ready for such unfortunate events. And I actually am ready - I have a recent backup. I have non-recent backups, as well. Most important things are also duplicated in the cloud. Some heavy files like videos aren't backed up, but I'm actually not losing much there. And I managed to back up text files and important small files of the most recent days, via a tether. So I'm good, overall. 

On the other hand, it is still a pain in the ass - several days easily go by until I get back to being productive. I have been productive this month, until now. A

lso, I can use this event to my advantage and to harden, to further solidify my resilient infrastructure. My laptops are becoming truly disposable - like my cellphones have been, for some time.

Now, in order to rebuild my productivity, I need to figure out what I'm doing again. What goals am I working to achieve? Actually, this is a great opportunity to start somewhat a-fresh. I can focus on the things that are important, and lose the things that don't matter.
