I have a confession to make: I, the King of Early Morning Writing and Master of “Reading is Writing”, have not been able to wake up early to write this week. I’ve also been feeling guilty about reading and NOT writing (or grading, in my case). I confess this to say, I’m human too

This is normal for me. I travelled twice this week to Mexico City, and given that I had not travelled for 15 months, I was (am) out of practice. I have decided to practice with myself what I practice with my colleagues and my students: be empathetic and compassionate.

So yes, this morning I'm going to read, annotate, and take some time to write (despite the fact that I'm basically about 3 hours late on my daily morning writing, I start at 4:30am). I'm definitely going to catch up on grading and other work, but FIRST SOME TIME FOR MYSELF.

I'm going to spend some time with TOMs and I'll deal with TOTOs later today. I'm frazzled about travelling again, but I understand that there are some commitments that will require me in person (with all protections, etc., and I'm fully vaccinated too). I just need to adjust.

Right. This is the TOMs/TOTOs Writing Tasks Priorization Strategy: raulpacheco.org/2019/12/priori…
