The Now: June 5, 2024

Tonight, I should sit down and write my monthly recap email to my kid. Should being the operative word. I'll be solo parenting so I'm not sure I'll get around to it. We shall see.

Here's what I am working on:

1. Video Prep: We need more video content in our library. It's what our students and faculty want. Making good video is a lot of work. So, I'm spending the summer developing our program. I created a strategic plan and, today, I brain dumped into a list of topic ideas. We're going to focus on short video because that's the easiest lift. It also means we can post it on our socials and YouTube shorts. We're going to make this content stretch as far as it can.
2. News Diet: Next week, I'm hosting a webinar for the library on how to create your news diet. We want to share tips for how to keep up with current events without being overwhelmed. After outlining the session, I also drafted slides. I'll revise those and the associated notes early next week. As tie-ins, I'm writing a related subscription newsletter and blog post. They'll go out a few days before the actual event. I'm excited about this one.
3. Monthly Prep: A new month means new pages in my bullet journal and new personal to do items on my list. I really should get around to a few of the things I keep putting off...
