Glasgow Worldcon schedule!

Okay, this is where you will ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE find me over the weekend, because these are the things I am definitely scheduled for: Beyond that: I get in mid-afternoon on Thursday and have no sense of when I might actually get to the con. Hopefully by half five or so, but who knows. I believe I have dinner plans of one kind of another sorted out for Thursday already, so I’m gonna assume this will not be a super great day for just hanging out. FRIDAY: 9am: minor ambitions…

the to-do list goes ever on

I opened up Workflowy and Skedpal on Sunday and discovered, to my horror, that I hadn’t logged into Workflowy since FEBRUARY. That’s how far behind I am. The good news was most of the February stuff was done…? :} Anyway, I basically spent Monday afternoon doing triage and figuring out what needed to be done and when and trying to lay out a vaguely realistic schedule for the next couple months.

fitness & writing

A while ago Ted said I had the kind of work/life balance that most people really dreamed of.

a-journaling we go

I’m participating in displacement activities, pretending that organizing a bunch of stuff will get my work done. Obviously I know that’s not how it works, but hey, I’m doing it anyway. I asked for this perfectly gorgeous blank book for my birthday (and obviously recieved it): but had no actual specific use for it in mind. I’ve been prodding at habit trackers but basically don’t like any of the digital ones, so I thought what the hell, maybe I’d go old-school analog and try a paper one. I’m hoping it’ll…
