I had been interested in a “Study with Me” series for a while, inspired by Lofi Girl (of course) but moreso James Scholz on YouTube, who used to livestream himself working at his desk for 12 HOURS. I would open up his video and resize it to fit in the upper left corner of my monitor to keep me company. I loved the real time nature of it where the point is to show up and face the work.
That’s what I tried to do this morning at the office. I arrived to the sunny conference room, opened up all the shades, and brought a few books I meant to finish reading from last year on leadership, Kirkpatrick’s training evaluation model, and thinking in systems. I was excited about spending three hours on “learning” but it slipped into me catching up with tasks from the week 🙃 while listening to this Halloween Lofi Radio.
I miss the rhythm of the academic calendar and knowing which week of the quarter it is. I attended the first of Bach at Bond this past Monday and I’m inspired by the length of the program notes and the idea of documenting throughout a series.
Ok, gotta go, next week I would like to post what I actually plan to study this quarter!
Reflecting on what I do, "once a week."
