The Now: December 14, 2022

My colleagues and I were chatting today about how we've entered the malaise weeks. Technically the holidays are not here, but the semester is over and our drive to focus on work is gone. We moved a meeting to comments over email because none of us could be bothered. I'm glad we're a team on this.

Here's what little focus I have left is going towards:

1. Website Usability: I finished drafting my final report today. Tomorrow I will edit and share with my colleagues. I have such a long list of things that need to be fixed. At least I know that I can take my time and just tweak our website as time allows. I also learned a better way to do usability testing that will be easier on me and yield more useful information. The goal is to make this something we do once each semester so that we are always improving our website.
2. Holiday Planning and Prep: Even with my bum ankle I still managed to prep a batch of muffins, two rounds of scones, a batch of spinach balls, and two banana breads. Now I'm making a list of our next grocery run and meal planning for Christmas itself. I also grabbed the last of the gifts we need. (Luckily for me, the husband does most of the wrapping.)
   
3. End of Year Wrap Ups: This is both home and work. I'm basically tying up lose ends and making plans for what needs to happen in the new year. I also need to get around to doing my personal strategic planning for 2023...
