I don’t work on much during the weekend, when Linda is home, other than on projects that involve us both. And I’m starting to have trouble keeping track of the things that I want to work on during the weekdays, when she’s at the office.

I have Todoist on my iMac and my iPhone, and I use it, but honestly, I’m going in so many directions right now that my Todoist is basically a list of items that regularly get postponed to either “Tomorrow” or “Next week”.

I’m also wanting, more and more, to focus my online activities around my own tiny, lint-covered strand of the web, and reading a Guardian article this morning about minds being “hijacked” by smartphones only served to strengthen that desire.

So I’m thinking that a weekend to-do list is in order, and that there’s no better place to put it than right here.

Learn

  1. W3Schools’ Bootstrap 3 Tutorial✓
  2. Get Bootstrap’s Getting Started✓
  3. SitePoint’s Getting Started with Skeleton…✗
  4. More about getting Piwik up and running at NearlyFreeSpeech, with WordPress as root, and what that might end up costing me in terms of resource usage✗

Build

  1. A responsive, static site for Sharonda.ink✓
  2. An about page for Linda, because I mention her all the time✗

Write

  1. A follow-up to SketchBook as a Subscription (Or, Maybe I’m a Hypocrite)✗
  2. A follow-up to Checking out Firefox Developer Edition 57.0b3, focused mainly on containers✗

Draw

  1. Schreeching fanged fiends, gigantic Martian mayhem, running swamp citizens, shattered reel monsters, teeming Jasons and tiny Halloween symbols, all in ink✗
  2. Anything suitable for Blick’s Pen & Ink Challenge✗
  3. mollusks in any media✗

And, finally, I’d like to decide how I’m going to turn these weekend to-do lists into visually effective checklists for keeping track of which things I have and haven’t accomplished.✓

This post may be updated (with notes up top, because transparency) over the next day or two, as well as throughout the coming week.✓

Yay, productivity!?
