Ok, fuuuuuuuuuck... I have so much shit I need to get done. Let's make a list!
Seriously, I was getting a bit overwhelmed a year ago when my work began opening up again that sorting things, listing, setting priorities really helped. Ha, I would prefer not to exit life with a bunch of half-finished contributions to the hobby I love.
First, say it, I waste way too much time reading posts in Twitter and arguing with right-wingers on Facebook. STOP IT! Pick one day per week, like Thursday night, take 4 hours to riff through the thoughts of others. (This worked for me in law school.)
Second, gotta allocate time for work, non-profit orgs, and family. 4 hours each day during the week is the minimum I need to plan for my practice, I spends something like 6 hours each week hoping to contribute to the greater good, 14 hours per week spending time with my son and special needs grandson and maybe another 6 hours every other week visiting with other fam.
Thirdsies, Sleeeeeep... Dude, you need at least 6 hours every day (my psydoc back in the day had me set an alarm for midnight each day so I would get to bed by 1am).
Fourth, meals and grooooomong. What, an hour a day unless I'm going out to eat.
Fifth, music. I orta practice an hour each day if'n I wants to get better on the drums. (Just kidding, still bassey.)
Ok so how many hours per week is that??? 4+20+6+14+3+42+7+7=103 out of 168 hours per week. 103-168=65 hours left over, say 9 hours each day. Obviously me and me spouse need our time, and there's gonna be time shopping for groceries, doing bills, cleaning, laundry, minor car repairs, etc. Given all that I should be able to set aside 2 hours five days a week to work on gaming stuff contributin' to our craft.
So what is in the pipeline for the past many months (years)...
- Video on City State of the Invincible Overlord (Several folks have done overviews, but I don't think by anyone who gamed the City State. And we gamed it hard.)
- Advanced Labyrinth Lord version of Underport (Just that new level nine needs some imaginatory time.)
- Video on the underworld of Arduin (Continuations of my series of "brief" Arduin setting videos.)
- Hard to be an Aorit-Q (My Qanon and last scenario for Troika!)
- Metropolis of Chaos (The abyss under Underport, a lot of ideas on this.)
- A weekly 2-hour online game (Hmmm, I am leaning toward LotFP. Our regular group runs every other month and I only Ref as part of a rotation. I get some satisfaction refing an ongoing campaign solo.)
