I finished making my Christmas list.<\/strong> I like to craft my wish list, which takes some research time, and I ended up with way less time than I thought I needed. But the work journaling I’ve been using for all my projects helped me prioritize and streamline the rest of the research and filtering.<\/p>\n Next up is a couple of weeks on my Christmas labels,<\/strong> my annual tradition of making creative tags for my Christmas gifts to my family. I try to incorporate a theme from my year, but I keep the theme a surprise until Christmas. This project always takes way longer than two weeks, so wish me luck!<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n Even though my productivity system update is a side project at the moment, I’ve been stubbornly pouring time into it<\/strong>, because in its unfinished state my Notion system is kind of annoying. Last week I set up a Kanban board<\/a>, which has been helping me juggle my current projects. But mainly I\u2019ve been redesigning the format of my work session notes, which should help me review each project more easily and gather data for improving future projects.<\/p>\n After a ten-year hiatus, I\u2019ve come back to learning Gregg shorthand<\/a>.<\/strong> I\u2019m hoping it\u2019ll speed up the weeknote drafts I always write by hand now. I\u2019ll learn a unit or two each week using the textbook my mom used in high school, Gregg Notehand<\/em> (1968). I started last week with the forms for s<\/em>, f<\/em>, v<\/em>, a<\/em>, e<\/em>, n<\/em>, and m<\/em>.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n I got up early on election day to catch the end of the lunar eclipse<\/a>.<\/strong> I managed to get one clear photo through my binoculars. I think of lunar eclipses as just a blur of orange that passes across the moon, so I was surprised to see after totality that the earth\u2019s shadow made a fairly sharp line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Andy Culbertson (@thinkulum)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nProductivity<\/h2>\n
