Slowing down for Lent has me stretched a lot less thin. Appreciating the ability to recognize the stuff I’m actually doing and forgetting. Some factors include:
- Shifted the podcast to something more like monthly.
- Pausing my weekly video series on the Bible.
- Abandoning my plans for Bullet Journal videos.
Some of this registers in my brain as failure, but in the meantime, I’ve kept up daily blogging, tending to my tasks, forcing more control over email, and making my life less stressful.
Reading – Stolen Focus, The Stand, The Persuaders, and lots of comics
Finished – The Little Book of Hygge, The Four Tendencies, Quiet, The Invisible Man, Dooku, The Icarus Deception, The Waste Lands, Upgrade, Herding Tigers, Rules of the Red Rubber Ball, Range
Watching – Andor, School of Rock, Ant-Man and Wasp
Projects – The podcast is well into its second season. The videos are on pause. Planning to redo the website soon. And I’m playing a lot with Notion.

Got COVID this week. Slowed me down a bit.
Season Two of the Make Saints podcast has started. Focus is on “productivity”.
Moving the Problem in the Text series to my main YouTube page. It is easier to focus on a single spot. I also started some tutorials about bullet journaling. For funsies.
Reading (comics) — just finished the House of M storyline and started Decimation.
Watching — Severance, Ms. Marvel

I updated my website. Since I like playing, I’m still tinkering with ideas.
And by the way, check out my Link In Bio Page.
Launched my podcast last fall. If you haven’t checked it out, please give it a listen! Took a break over the summer, but am getting back into it this week.
I also launched a YouTube channel with the same name. I’ve retooled my weekly reflections into a series of short videos called Problem in the Text. For longtime followers, this is an update of the videos I used to do almost a decade ago called Eating Scripture. At the moment, I’m really interested in what is possible with video.
My daily blog practice has hit over 50 days in a row. I’ll write about the process soon.
Meanwhile, I’ve spent about a year planning to relaunch a newsletter. Obviously that has been on the back burner.
The pandemic really changed the way we approach education, the needs of the moment, and how we engage. And yet, at the same time, it looks like nothing has changed. We’ll see how it shakes out.
School is starting and so much is happening!

Finished – The Bullet Journal Method, The More of Less, Kenobi
