What are you working on this week? (2020-sep-07 to 2020-sep-13)
What are your plans and projects for the coming week?
I'm reading a bunch of papers slightly adjacent to my previous work. It'll be interesting to see how the connections and notes in my Zettelkasten change because of this. There is a lot of potential to rethink contexts.

I am a Zettler
My knowledge work schedule as I start the week. It won't be the same by the end of the week, I hope.

My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

Just finished writing an article on "Friendships" - the first bit of writing that has evolved from my Zettelkasten, and that not as a project but flowing out of the ZK in an organic manner. That was instructive - gave me some ideas on how to improve Zettel writing and connections. I've sent it off to some most critical readers (my kids and a few of the older grandkids) for comments; hoping it generates discussion.
Otherwise, continuing to go through a course on Keyboard Maestro and learning a lot. It's funny how you don't really value something properly until you understand more about it or use it in more than just a superficial manner.
Still working on my final paper as a grad student, as well as my dissertation.
Until I've got those big projects off my plate, I'm keeping my reading light. I'm working on How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster. It's just a lighthearted summary of a lot of the topics that are discussed in lower level english classes, but it's nice to have a refresher. I would like to be more critical in my reading of fiction, and this book is reminding me of ways to do that.
