Introduction
It is the first time I mistakely think that today is Saturday, I did not call the office since I thought that it is Saturday. Until 5:00 PM, my roommate came home and told me that I came home early. She told me it is Friday.
Case study
I like to write down how many facts contributes this mistake in my judgement on this Friday not Saturday instance.
It was too busy a day yesterday. I was too busy to handle and then the mistake happened.
Time line:
Thursday

Friday
1. 7:00 PM - get up, reply wechat message, at least 20 minutes
2. It is Saturday, somehow I made wrong judgement
1. Get up 7:00 am Thursday
Before I went to work yesterday, I chose the market price and bought $30,000 Canada dollar for my portfolio on questrade.com, and also purchased over $10,000 for my IRA portfolio on Ameritrade.com.
2. I had an appointment with Scotia bank mutual fund manager yesterday, 7:00 PM. I left office around 5:20 PM. I planned to purchase Scotia Canada dollar index fund, $3,000 dollars, every month $120 dollars;
3. I saw goFundMe on facebook.com, my friend in Florida and her husband's heart surgery and diabetic disease before 7:00 PM;
4. I went to play tennis after Scotia bank appointment. I talked to friends on the court in central park about investing and health;
5. I talked to my friend over the phone over 30 minutes from 9:10 PM to 9:50 PM;
6. I had a mock interview from 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM;
7. After 11:00 PM, I was busy with donation to the friend on GoFundMe.com; I shared the story on wechat sibling wechat group;
8. I got up too early around 7:00 AM, I saw two responses from wechat sibling groups. I spend more than 20 minutes to respond.
Actionable Item
I decided to quit my Sibling wechat group, so that I can stay away from relatives, and focus on the life and work in Vancouver area.
