Pentathlon Day 12

And in other news . . .

And on the other hand . . .

It’s time to write the newsletter today. The MIW routine is getting me ahead of the curve for the videos but I have to catch up on the newsletter. And get ahead. I’m not enjoying the JIT lifestyle.

In a perfect world, Fairy Godmother style, poof!

How does “poof” happen?

  • List of topics so I don’t go through weekly Phineas and Ferb moments
  • 500-600 words instead of 2,000 – 2,500
  • Scheduled time to write, à la MIW
  • How to write has no friction, meaning all my tools and resources are immediately at hand

I have a stand-alone Notion instance and a folder on my phone with the tools for the big project (not well-executed yet but good idea). The newsletter is part of that project. The resources and plans should go there. With a folder on my laptop for the companion files—drafts and finished product, resources used, graphics created. That is how I’m handling the webcasts.

Boom done. The five minutes a day writing process didn’t pay off with a blinding insight, just a pragmatic suggestion from the brain. Thanks you, brain.
