My Now Page has been inspired by Derek Sivers. If you have a blog or website, you might want to consider keeping one as well. Here’s how and why to create a now page.
Reading
Happily, my love for reading seems to have been rekindled. This is what I put my reading glasses on for these days:
- „Good Omens“ as a graphic novel by Colleen Doran, based on the novel by Terry Pratchett and the other one.
- „Die Frau als Mensch“ by Ulli Lust, a graphic novel about human history, from the female perspective
- my backlog of short stories at deadlinesforwriters
Listening
- „Saving Us“ by Katherine Hayhoe on Bookbeat, still. I am considering cancelling my subscription to this app
- all the concerts that I did not get around to see in Wacken, thanks to Magenta
- Radio Wacken for breakfast, if my husband is home. If it’s just me, there is likely going to be silence in the background.
Watching
- The Star Trek movies from 11 onwards, from DVD. Feels funny to not stream these films for a change.
- deleting my various YouTube watchlists in preparation for deleting my own channel -> Unplug Trump
- looking forward to Starfleet Academy
Now Working On
- writing one blog post per month in English, the last one being from December 25
- changing all my pictures from png to webp
- learning WordPress properly, which I am amost done with. Afterwards I am going to learn Linux properly. I have been using Ubuntu for more than 15 years now but it never hurts to know more.
Now Doing
- trying to really get into the grooves of the routines I established using the habit tracker app Habitica
- measuring how much time different tasks and activities take, so I can plan my day more realistically
- learning about forks and pins from the Duolingo chess course
- drawing a Zentangle each day for Fragment of Your Imagination Challenge 26
