Checking in -- after a hiatus.

I'm in Boise!, we're in contract on a house, I'm sitting in on some classes, planning a summer course, and settling in to a new routine. We're feeling so lucky - like "this can't be real" lucky. I'm loving this place. I think my future teaching schedule will be a dream -- inquiry classes, knowing & learning, etc. -- more on that later.

I'm hoping to restart the goals and progress posts as I begin a big push to get my book finished, and hope my reader friends can cheer me on. As before, I want to write a Monday to-do list for the week and a Friday check-in.

From now until March, all work will be on the book, and that to-do list is here:

As of this week, I should be completely done with Chapters 1-4 (a little behind schedule), the supporting materials/lesson-plans for those (a little ahead of schedule), and ready to finalize Chapters 5 - 8.

I've been using Pomodoro (to set timers to do work)  and Freedom (to set an internet blocker for when I'm just writing) -- I think those will be incredibly useful.

See you tomorrow with the weekly progress report, and Monday with the to-do list.
