A standard holiday

This is a way to write through your tasks so they’re easier to do. It’s a standard productivity tip, included in GTD and many other ways of doing tasks. The secret, is that you’ve already thought through how something will be done, now you only have to do it.

I’m interested in researching whether other people do this. I doubt anyone does this on Medium of all places.

• Research publishing your to do list or tasks on your blog, again—no one talks about this. Maybe no one does it?

• Run

• Money: Christmas, schedule, correction

• Call GD

• Publish today tasks, with a title

• Read, God has a name

• Bible plan (bible.com best), year plan—The Bible in One Year is what I want, the 30 Day Shred is also something I’m interested in.

• Album tracker—Musicboard doesn’t work best. Last.fm is older, but somehow works better. I’d like to track that I’ve played an album. AOTY doesn’t allow that. Manually scrobbling to Last.fm works fine.

• Airplay scrobbling Last.fm, Homepod—some apps work, Open Scrobbler, QuietScrob, and Scrobbles for Last.fmare best

• Buy groceries for dinner: Tofu burgers (halved and breaded), spinach (cabbage), GF burger buns (long, or sourdough loaf)

• Italicise Medium on previous post

• Return books to library, get new ones out

• Note what NYer articles to read from the past few weeks—feel like I need to read them all

• Mark NYer articles unread—added to GoodLinks

• Use Feedbin starred feed instead of Pinboard

• Remove other starred links from Feedbin

• Remove movies from favourites on Trakt; it’s only for TV shows

• Watch Juror #2—didn’t finish it. May finish it one day.

I’m having issues creating publications—like Notes to Self and Today—that already have a name. The error also doesn’t show up on Safari.

Why is it so hard for writers to not write about writing? I guess it’s the only thing on their mind?

Very indie images. I’d like to publish albums as well, like I used to do on Exposure. What a full circle.

Medium is Instagram, with more writing. There isn’t a better alternative. Not even a blog can do this.

Publish something closer to my most read stories (Tom Sachs, SNL, Colin Jost).

Ignore the stats.
