The Now: February 22, 2023

I had several meetings and webinars I needed to attend today. They were scattered all over my calendar. The gray weather also meant that my brain just didn't want to work. That made it hard to concentrate on anything in particular. By 9:15AM, I declared today to be a "clear out tasks" day. Those days are when I focus on the tiny little things I've been putting off. They don't take long by themselves but, together, they fill a work day without requiring me to use too much deep brain power.

Here's what I've been focusing on when my brain is working:
  1. Research Assignment Design: While we are conducting our second round of coding, we're also focusing on putting together our poster for the ACRL 2023 conference next month. Today, we laid out our overall vision and assigned initial first steps at drafting the information. We're building off of our previous poster by adding more analysis to our work. There are so many things we could talk about! It's difficult to narrow it down to what can fit on a poster.
  2. Library Instruction: I've got a bunch of classes coming up. I've been working with each faculty member to settle on a final agenda of content. Then it's a lot of slide making and presenting. One of the classes is a college pathways course. The students are all in high school and are stopping by to learn what it's like to have/use a college library. I'm excited by this one because it's a new audience for me. 
  3. Personal Digital Clean Up: Still working on this as it relates to my online files. I've done a great job of clearing out things. (I've deleted more items than I can count.) Now, I want to focus on what I can streamline. Plus, I want to make a management list for my next big project - retroactively going back and reviewing all my files/pictures/whatever on my personal laptop. I can't decide if I also want to tackle renaming everything during this round or waiting for another pass. Might be easier to just hit delete first and reorganize/rename later.
