As part of my work with Automattic, I’m granted a 3 month sabbatical after 5 years and I started it recently. I want to document some of the projects and things that I manage to do.
It might make sense to report each week — meaning I report back each week on a specific cadence. Great for ensuring something gets posted, but I’m not sure I’ll have enough to report each week. (Progress on video games is not be terribly riveting/memorable).
The first “phase” cleared maintenance tasks around the house I’ve wanted to tackle but haven’t prioritized high enough.
- Clean/organize garage
- Clean/organize office
- Flush water heater
- Fix some yard things (lights, bushes, grass, etc.)
I finally completed building a LEGO Delorean set that I got for Christmas last year.
Lindsay organized a beach day/bonfire on Monday. I chaperoned by mainly staying out of the way and surfing — it did take a whole day though.
I started playing Rocksmith to improve my guitar skills. I haven’t been very regular with my practice so I’m ramping up slowly.
Our friend’s Father passed away and I’m covering their church class this week. This is a daily seminary/scripture study course for high school students.
Needs improvement
I haven’t gotten many books completed and I would like to make a habit of getting some regular study in.
