Productivity
🧐
I started redesigning my Admin procedure, the daily session where I do bureaucratic tasks like answering emails. The process always feels unsettled and easily expands to take too much time, so I’m watching how I actually do it and nailing down the specifics.

I made a Notion database to help me pack for travel. I was tired of fumbling with copying and modifying my packing lists every time, and a database had helped with my grocery shopping, so I spent valuable packing time setting one up. Now I have more control over the list, and I can filter the items by trip type, simply exclude them from the current trip, or mark them as archived, as well as checking them off as I pack them.

I took my first water chloride reading. Jeremy tagged along and supervised. The process was easier than I expected. And for the tricky part I found websites to help me determine the windiness and recent weather that I needed to record. I believe the concentration of 154 PPM was acceptably low (conversion to mg/L).

Holidays
😌
I finished the Christmas gift labels. As is traditional I had to stay up late, but not on Christmas Eve this time. I needed to get them done early to mail the ones for Abbie and Colleen. I sent them a little late, but luckily they arrived on time. I’ll reveal the final product in the next weeknote.
I made it to Texas, and no one was sick this time. My brother conveniently arrived at the same time so our parents only had to make one airport trip, and we had a nice weekend of getting ready for Christmas.
Glad you had a good Christmas!
