Notes

12:21:00 +07:00 It's friday today, and that means another newsletter deadline is looming. Some weeks by this stage I have all sorts of themes and ideas. Thehose weeks are great, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's not a slog, in fact it's quite fun, feels like riding a bike downhill. This is not one of those week's. I've got basically nothing, feels like I have to hand in some homework tomorrow that I haven't started. Not quite as fun.

I find that in these uphill climb weeks, the best course of action is to force myself to just start compiling the list of podcasts. I start by copying across the saved episode titles to the newsletter template. Usually as I'm doing that a theme emerges. I then do the same for the links. And try to come up with a title. It's not rocket science.

I already compiled the list earlier this morning. Nothing really jumped out at me. I'm also a bit distracted by the new notes feature, that's what I'm thinking about. So I might just make that the theme. It's a bit self indulgeant, but I don't create new major features all that often, plus it's probably the most honest thing to do, after all that is what's predominantly on my mind.

Sometimes it's best to not fight the tides. #
