I have the next three days off, with today being the MLK (Martin Luther King Jr.) holiday. Then Wednesday being the Inauguration, I decided to take Tuesday off too to have a five day weekend.<\/p>\n
So I plan to use the three days like a workday and spending eight hours doing things for my projects and learning. It might be broken up more than a workday, but that’s fine.<\/p>\n
Each of the days, I plan to spend an hour or two watching my Wes Bos “Beginner JavaScript” video tutorials<\/a>. During that time, I \u00a0will be taking notes and attempting the code examples to get used to coding the syntax.<\/p>\n I plan to spend an hour or two watching and taking notes of Penn and Teller’s Masterclass “Penn & Teller Teach the Art of Magic”<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’m not necessarily watching Penn and Teller to learn magic, but to learn about storytelling and presentation. If I learn a magic trick or two in the process, all the better.<\/p>\n In the evening, there will be some watching of YouTube videos. \u00a0The subjects I want to learn more about are cooking\/baking, farming\/gardening, tiny houses, etc.<\/p>\n I will finish reading Heydon Pickering’s “Inclusive Components – Accessible Web Interfaces, Piece by Piece”. I need to go back to his other book and Adam Silver’s book to work through the examples a bit more. Below are the other two other books I’m referring to.<\/p>\n Form Design Patterns – A Practical Guide to Designing and Coding simple and Inclusive Forms for the Web by Adam Silver<\/p>\n Inclusive Design Patterns – Coding Accessibility Into Web Design by Heydon Pickering<\/p>\n My next book to start reading is “Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything” by BJ Fogg.<\/p>\n I need to start outlining a few more blog posts and maybe even start the first draft.<\/p>\n My more significant issue is figuring out the best way to link to all the books I read last year. I don’t want to link to Amazon. But I know money is tight for some, so the lower prices and free shipping with having Amazon Prime will help. If I would I need to figure out a code for an organization\/charity, I would like the earned money would help them. So need to figure that out before posting that post.<\/p>\n More research is needed. Any suggestion would be appreciated.<\/p>\n Other things that need to get done over the three days are:<\/p>\n I might even start some sorting or items that I no longer use to donate them or get rid of them. I know where I want to donate all the clothes and the like, to Martha’s Table<\/a> in DC.<\/p>\n Someone from the DC Code and Coffee<\/a> group mentioned they are willing to come to Northern Virginia to pick things up with their car. Since they live near Martha’s Table<\/a>, it wouldn’t be hard to drop them off for me.<\/p>\n That’s a lot to get done while also relaxing some, but at least I have a game plan. If I don’t start on things, I won’t get any of it started or any of it done. Here’s to slow and steady work at the list above.<\/p>\n Any suggestions to help with any of this, please leave a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have the next three days off, with today being the MLK (Martin Luther King Jr.) holiday.
