The Now: May 25, 2022

One of my colleagues correctly said that it's really hard to care about anything related to work right now. She's right. Between current events and the sheer exhaustion from the spring semester, my ability to focus on deep work is limited.

WORK

• Research Assignment Design: I have a transcript and a half left to code. Well, my first pass of coding. Then I am going to review my codebook and rejigger things to make sure it's doing what I want and need it to do. I am oddly excited to etch-a-sketch things and start over in that area. I will finish my transcript coding by Friday. Next week, I will devote to the codebook. Then I will start my next passes of coding. It's going to be a loooong summer of analysis.
• Presentations: I presented my session on our Library 101 platform yesterday, Thursday I group present on EDI and OER. Then, it's time to work on my internal presentation about communications for June. 
• Faculty Research Index: I added another entry. I'm also working on plans for the next marketing binge to try to get more faculty to complete our submission form.
  
• Administrative: Over the summer, I try to tackle some basic admin work to set myself up well for the Fall. So far, I've created a newsletter tracker, cleaned out my Google Drive. Now I'm working on my OneDrive. Next up, making my Zotero less of a disaster zone.
  

PERSONAL

• Estate Planning: Still sitting on converting my last account. Also still sitting on my guardian document.
• Paid Newsletter: I created the graphics; updated headers, footers, and welcome emails; and scheduled the initial announcement post. I also turned on paid subscriptions.
