Weekly Goals

First, my WDC goals:

1) 100 Credit reviews — This’ll give me tge 500th credit review MB, which is nice, but I’ve actually gotten an idea on how to do better reviews by reading other people’s reviews, plus I’ve made new WDC connections and come across interesting reading I might not have crossed paths with before.

2) Product Review — I have a great book picked out. It was a great, informative read. No excuse not to get the review done this week.

3) Write the prologue for "Riding Steel"  — Probably write some more on the outline as well, but I have the prologue in my head, now I just need to transfer it onto paper

4) Finish a rough draft of "Devil in the Pipes"  — Actually, I’d like to have more than just a rough draft, but I’ll stick with rough draft for now as an achievable end of week goal.

Non-WDC goals

So I went ahead and paid six bucks a month for the Great Courses Channel. Some of the video lecture series are really good, such as the one on the Achaemenid Empite. Some of the video lecture series, not so much. But I found two more I like, so I’m going to commit to

1) Watching the first seven lectures on the history of railroads, and

2) Watching the first seven lectures on playing chess —The lecturer on this series is a grandmaster. For the holidays, I received a virtual reality head set, and use it tompkay chess once a day in a virtual city park. Might be nice to actually know what I’m doing.

3) Finish Section Two of my online course about Icelandic volcanoes — Taught online through the University of Iceland.

4) One hour a day of my Viking workout — so called because I play Viking workout music and use chopfits as part of my workout,
