Checklists and checklists

This will be the million-chore weekend. I have been building up lists of increasingly urgent tasks for weeks. This Saturday and Sunday, my focus will be on pushing those lists back down to a sensible size. I have clothes to repair; several C.V. variants to generate; receipts to sort and transmit; books to finish and review; notes to transfer; appointments to make; backups to update; drives to move; lists to update; software to install and update; endless emails requiring response; a donation to make; numerous articles to read; letters to write; websites to alter and update; RAW files to sort through and file; and probably more to do that I have temporarily forgotten.

It is unfortunate that this is also a jackhammering weekend, for one of the houses behind mine.

Some of the chores are blog-focused, and there may be some downtime associated with them.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

  1. It sounds like repairing your own clothes is getting pretty expensive.

  2. My trousers just don’t like staying hemmed! I catch a toe on a loose bit of the hemline and tear the whole thing open.

  3. I suggest your list also include spending time outside. I try putting being outside on the top of my list most days.
