The Now: August 31, 2022

Why, in academia, do we always tell ourselves that if we make it through the next few weeks things will be easier? Things never let up.

Here's where my attention is going.

WORK
  • Research Assignment Design: This is on my list for next week. I really need to start coding.
  • Presentations and Publications: I put together a calendar so that I know when to start prepping things for all the stuff I have coming up. Today, I spent over three hours working on my slide deck for my photography webinar. We're doing a test run through tomorrow. While the slides don't have to be complete, I wanted them to be more done than not. I'm mostly using my own photography as examples and it's weird getting this analytical on my own stuff. I know I don't need perfect, but I need to show why I know my stuff. I've looked at my own work so closely that I'm beginning to hate it all now. 
  • Reference and Instruction: The number of questions is picking up and I taught my first class. Another professor requested a flipped classroom model so I recorded a video for that. Our webinar series kicks off on Friday. I put together all the logistics and created a slide template.
  • Outreach: The first week push is over, now it's on the regular marketing calendar.
  • Administration: Onboarded our new metadata and cataloging librarian. I am so excited to work with her.

PERSONAL
  • Estate Planning: Nope. Although I did figure out why my auto-invest was broken on one account.
  • Email Newsletter: This evening, I sent out a final paywall warning. Paywall is set to go up tomorrow. I don't know if I'll get any new paying subscribers, but I think this is the right move.
  • Home Projects: None at the moment, and I'm okay with that.
  • Hobbies: I sent out a few notecards to friends. I would like to get back in the habit of doing this monthly.
