How I did last week

  • [✅] Continue Job Search. Applied and networked.
  • Project work.
  • Blog. I did not publish any blogs but am working on two.
  • Events.
    • [✅] Creativity event. I think most of it is prerecorded but there are some live panels.
      • I attended this, three days of prerecorded talks they dropped a set each day to watch whenever you could. Plus two live panels. It was not really tech related so I only watch a few thing each day. hoping for tips for selling digital content.
    • Thursday Virtual Coffee Nope water heater went out Wednesday and they were replacing it Thursday. So I spent the wed/thursday moving stuff and trying to dry out the garage.
  • [✅] Run a goal setting thread on Virtual Coffee(VC) Slack.
