today's work agenda

Work agenda:

  1. I have enough "Superficial" posts on my free Substack to last me through the end of the month and a little bit into September. I'll need to make more of those eventually, but for the moment, I can take a pause. Which means—
  2. I need to make enough paid posts to last me through the end of August. That can happen by the end of today. Eventually, though, I need to keep working ahead so as to make enough of all types of post (paid and unpaid) so I can do my cross-Korea walk this fall. I want this walk to go from late October through a good part of November. I'm thinking roughly October 20 (Monday) through November 18 (Tuesday) or October 23 (Thursday) to November 21 (Friday). It's always better to start and end on a weekday, and while Friday isn't a great day to check into a Busan motel, I know there's a large motel next to Busan Station that will always have room. And if not that motel, there are plenty of others by the station, as I found out last year.

So today: make enough Substack posts to carry me through the end of August. That'll give me time to work on other stuff like my new Canon camera (photo and video), my WiFi router (which I messed up long ago), and my third Substack—the one devoted to quizzes, tests, and answers. The one that requires coding. This weekend, I also need to square away my Anki-flashcard situation (Anki's not as intuitively user-friendly as one might think) so I can make a slew of Spanish flashcards. I took a week-long break from ChatGPT Spanish lessons (but not Babbel!) so I could work on Substack and other projects. Maybe tonight or tomorrow night, I'll try a 9K walk out to the river. Fingers and tentacles crossed.

  1. As a do-nothing retiree, reading your busy day posts is both refreshing and tiring. I envy your energy, but it would be wasted on me, no doubt. I'm glad you are looking forward and setting your goals for the big walk this fall. Keep on it!
