1. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
18th September 330
BATTLE OF CHRYSOPOLIS
Constantine the Great defeats Licinius, making Constantine undisputed emperor, with profound consequences for the Roman Empire and subsequent European history. Constantine had embraced Christianity and believed his Christian standard, the "Labarum" had brought him victory. Christianity was consequently made the official religion of the empire, giving rise to the political power of the Christian church and Christianity as the predominant religion of Europe. Constantine relocated the capital of the empire to the small city of Byzantium in the east, and after a massive building programme re-named it Constantinople. This shift of power and resources left the eastern half of the empire stronger and the west weaker, contributing a century later to the collapse of the western empire and the survival of the east for another millennium.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

After paying off all my sleep debt, I have immediately racked up more due to time-greed, getting only 5 hours last night. With no laundry or any pressing matter before the weekend job, I may get in an hour or two of meditation to compensate. 

A period of quiet routine and stability is expected, and I intend to make the most of it, keeping my mind "in the zone". You need to make yourself as robust as possible during times of minimum distraction to prevent you by being blown off-course by bigger distractions later on.
