The Now: July 7, 2021

I work in a small team. We have a standing weekly meeting. When we need to reschedule said meeting, it's often hard to find a time to meet. Why is it so hard to schedule a group of five who all work at the same organization? I swear, calendars are black holes of intentions.

Here's what else has my attention at the moment.

WORK

• I am doing a lot of cutting and pasting as I work on my cohort of research guide handouts. These are basically revised versions of our online LibGuides that we plan to share with faculty. It's a mix of "here's stuff for your research!" and "pretty please use us to teach information literacy and/or research to your students." We're making one guide per department in the hopes that highly targeted information will reel more faculty in.
• I finished my first edit of the University customer service proposal. I shared it with my immediate team for their edits and input. My plan is to get this to the faculty senate committee I wrote it far during our first fall meeting. Fingers crossed!
• Last Friday, I polished off the common read for the upcoming year. On deck - working on the support LibGuide for the program... which is always a lot easier after I have read the book myself.
• More LOEX recording viewing. I'm about two-thirds of the way through what I wanted to watch.

PERSONAL

• My various Trello boards and cards have gotten rather unwieldy as of late. I'm taking some time to review and condense. That will help me focus and work on the things that actually need to get done.
• As an off-shoot of the project above, I'm making plans for how I want to spend the two days off that I gave myself later this month. I want it to be a mix of productivity and lazy self-indulgence. I scheduled a haircut for one of the days which, I think, fits in both categories.
