Now Archive: December 2024
_This is my Now page and here’s what’s up for me these days as of December 1st, 2024. For my current Now page, go here.
- Getting Maui’d! = Yep, after over a decade together, Denise and I are finally tying the knot while barefoot on Maui! Sorry you weren’t invited, but then…nobody was really.
- Playing music locally = Much to our surprise, the tiny little central Utah town we’re living in is getting some culture! I’m drumming as part of a fledgling Taiko group (our first performance in 2 weeks) and dusting off my berimbau skills and learning pandeiro and a bunch of new Brazilian tunes to accompany a weekly Capoeira roda.
- Snap Synapse simplified = My business is in its 20th year of operation. It started as a side hustle in California, had a long stint as a C-corp in Nevada, and since 2016 has been an LLC in Utah. Now that Denise and I are getting married, we’re changing up her businesses and mine to make them work better for us going forward.
- Changing roles & hours = I’ve been primarily working on a contract as a Project Manager and eLearning Technology Consultant for The National 4-H Council for almost 2 years. I’m now in the process of redefining my role to provide for an expanded scope.
- Drop100 2024 = Over a decade ago, I had waaaaay too many active projects. So many, in fact, that I created a new project to either Do or Drop 100 projects per day until I got down to a number that didn’t stress me out. Crazy as it sounds, it took me about 3 weeks to get down to seven active projects. Every year since, I clear the decks by throwing all my remaining projects in a big pile and essentially lighting it on fire, doing and/or dropping at least 100 active/planned projects over the course of about 3 weeks again. I’m getting better at this with practice, and have come to enjoy my Drop100 as an annual end-of-year activity.
Thanks for checking in. Want to let me know what you’re up to? Got suggestions on what I might want to tackle in the future? Let me know here.
