I've been trying something new to better organize my writing/author time. I get up at 4:45am. I started participating in Monday through Friday Zoom that's called the Five a.m. call.  On the call, each person says a win for the previous day and shares three things they will accomplish for the day. Just saying out loud what I plan to achieve makes it about 85% more likely to happen. 

Do you have any tricks to get things done?

Yesterday I was a guest on the podcast Skip to the Good Parts

Here is a bit about the podcast:

We interview your favorite romance authors! Join your co-hosts, Cara Lockwood/Cara Tanamachi, a USA Today bestselling author of more than 35 books whose first novel, I Do (But I Don't) was made into a Lifetime Original movie, and her co-host, husband, and real-life romantic hero, PJ, (co-host of the Braving Business Podcast) as they get to know the writers behind your favorite Happily-Ever-Afters. 

We'll skip to the good parts - of new books, backstories, and inspirations. Join us and add a little more Happily Ever After to your day! 

It was really fun and when the episode comes out, I'll let you know. 

I'm currently reading Cara's book The Second You're Single it's a really fun rom-com that takes place in February, so a perfect mood read! 

Do You Know How To Read Cursive?

 I came across this information in a news story and had to start sharing it with everyone I know!

Cool Thing I Must Share With You!

Do you know how to read cursive? It has become a skill that fewer and fewer people have, and that means you are special! The National Archives needs volunteers to help transcribe documents. All you need to do is go to their website, create an account, and pick your mission! Here are a few missions I saw that looked interesting:

• Report, "American Press on Divergencies Between the Members of the North Atlantic Treaty," Full Text of 27 November Pravda Article Broadcast by Radio Moscow Transcribe this record.
• Winston Churchill to Franklin D. Roosevelt Transcribe this record.
• Journal of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon Transcribe this record.

If you are a history buff or made a resolution to try new things, here is something you can do, and then you can say you are a part of the historical record! This is the link to the website to sign up: https://www.archives.gov/citizen-archivist/get-started-transcribing

What do you think? If I do this, can I add it to my resume? 

I hope you are having a great day! I'm working on my goal to read books I own. Here is this week's read!

I just remembered I signed up to bring a dish to the breakfast potluck we have at work tomorrow. It's an institute day so not only do I need to bring a dish, I start work at 8 a.m. instead of 8:45 a.m. On the plus side, we have a three-day weekend coming up. I also reviewed the school calendar and there are only 22 weeks left of the school year and only 11 of them are full five-day weeks. 

This all probably sounds like I don't like my job, but I do! I love it.  It can been draining so I cherish the time off to recharge. One thing I need to do to make life easier is to meal plan for dinners, and better yet, meal prep so I don't have to spend as much time cooking after work. Do you have any easy recipes you make?

This week I'm reading:
