I made good progress on my Make integration with Notion, which will register a day\u2019s session of work on a task.<\/strong> I\u2019m switching projects now, so I\u2019ll have to pick up the integration again in a few months when I get back to another iteration on my productivity system. But it was satisfying to fit in a decent amount of project work for a change. And what I\u2019ve done so far accomplished the goals of getting over the initial hump and teaching me more about Notion and Make development.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n I toured the fascinating history of cryptology with Simon Singh’s The Code Book<\/em>.<\/strong> I finally understood why the Enigma machine was such a big deal. And I now have a clue how public key cryptography works. And I\u2019d wondered if anyone was working on a cipher to stay ahead of the quantum computing cryptocalypse, and it turns out they are with quantum cryptography.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n The next couple of weeks will be my spring housekeeping, where I\u2019ll focus on tidying and investing.<\/strong> I have some piles of clutter that have been accumulating over the months that need storing. And I only have a little research left on my medium-term investing project from way back when, so I\u2019m hoping to get that resolved.<\/p>\n \ud83e\uddd0<\/p>\n I started a media tracking project in Notion to remind myself of the shows I\u2019m watching.<\/strong> I\u2019ll expand to other media in the future. My tasks database has a set of statuses I can assign to a task, and these work well for media too. The statuses are suggested, planned, blocked, active, completed, and dropped. I have enough shows in progress (the active status) that I was forgetting about some of them, and there are others I\u2019d paused to return to someday (some of the planned status shows), and I was forgetting those too. Adding shows with a blocked status got me to research when the next season of those shows will be premiering. Star Trek: Discovery<\/em> will be in April. The others are up in the air.<\/p>\n \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n This week starts my Lent project of articulating my style of spirituality.<\/strong> I\u2019m expecting that clarifying my views will help me live from them with more consistency and conviction.<\/p>\n The latest addition to my devotional procedure is intercession during the prayer time.<\/strong> I\u2019m accumulating prayer requests very selectively and keeping track of them in a Notion database. This month I\u2019m also following a prayer challenge from my church where each day we pray for a different missionary we support.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Productivity \ud83d\ude0c I made good progress on my Make integration with Notion, which will register a day\u2019s session of work on a task.
