The Now: May 24, 2023

Our kiddo decided to wear her Wonder Woman outfit - complete with headband - to school today. I envy those days. I wish I could wear a cape to the office. Since I can't wear a cape, I will live vicariously through the photos daycare sends. Those updates are providing a little whimsy to my day.

Here's what has my attention:

1. WRLC Annual Conference: Our consortium holds a two-day annual conference once a year. We use this time share our work, learn from our colleagues, and just connect as a group. In addition to attending several great sessions, I've presented twice. This morning, I presented an individual session about outreach. Right after that, I presented with my colleagues about our research project. We received some good questions and we've got a few ideas for how to adapt this for the TILC conference next week.
2. Slides and Notes: In addition to my two presentations today, I've got three more webinars and conference sessions coming up in the next two weeks. I'm up to my ears designing slides and writing out my notes. I'll be giving a webinar on what the library offers, a shared presentation about our research project (see note 1), and another individual conference session on promoting the work of others in libraries.
3. To-Do List Consolidation: I decided to migrate as much of my to do list content to Evernote as possible. I'm transferring all my non-work stuff from Trello to various lists in Evernote. I'm also adding stuff from my Keep lists and my bullet journal. This is a part of my overall attempt to simplify the amount of platforms I use. My goal is to have ONE main platform that handles as much as possible for my life. I will still use other tools, but I would like to have a central hub that deals with at least 90% of my life.
