I think that most readers know that for my regular job, I work for a public school district. Tomorrow starts Spring Break, and I don't go back to work until next Tuesday. I'm a little old for a week of endless partying, so I'm going to be productive around the house and with some writing. To make sure I stay on task, I need to write down my daily objectives. I figured I may as well do it here so that you guys will help hold me accountable. Believe me, I am by nature pretty lazy, and if I go at this without a plan, I'll end up getting caught up on this season's Family Guy episodes and watching movies. So, here's the plan.
Each Day:
- Watch no more than one hour of television
- Write a blog post
- Shoot a survival skill video for the YouTube Channel
- Shoot a cigar review video for my upcoming YouTube Channel on that subject
- Spend an hour rewriting my book submissions for my editor
- Take one of my generators and my push mower to the fixit shop for some repairs that are beyond my abilities
- Do the first part of my weekly assignment for my graduate school class
- Replace the closer mechanism on the front storm door
- Start again with some new pepper seeds to try and get them sprouted
- Remove and reposition all of the top snaps on Project BOV so that it fits properly
- Give Project BOV a good bath and use it to go pick up and take my nephew to Cub Scouts
- Go to a doctor appointment in the morning
- Work on one of the magazine articles I'm writing
- Dig out my expanded strawberry bed
- Dig out my new pepper and tomato bed and put in terraced swales to retain water
- Gather wood to put in the beds for small-scale hugelkulture
- Get caught up on homework for school, the other magazine article I'm writing, and my book submissions
- Get at least one of each video edited and posted to YouTube
- Finish cleaning up the yard and fence line from winter debris and split it between the compost bin and a burn pile
- Go get a load of top soil and a load of manure compost
- Mix them together and get it in the beds and redress the garden box
- Get more strawberry plants in the ground
- Get some direct sow crops into the garden box
- Finish any writing I have outstanding
- Get at least one more of each type of video edited and posted to YouTube
A Cool Website
I recently found out about this website, http://www.prepperwebsite.com/. The best way to describe it is as a Drudge Report for preppers. They post links to numerous interesting and useful articles on all kinds of different blogs and websites each week. It is a great idea, and is going to be on my frequent visit list from here on out.
Free E-Book
This is not really prepper-related, but I know that a whole lot of us came in to guns, prepping, etc... through the so-called "men's adventure novels" such as The Survivalist and Mack Bolan, The Executioner. I'm a member of a men's adventure novel fan group on Facebook, and another member, Jack Murphy, is making his latest novel, Reflexive Fire, available free in Kindle E-book format for today only on Amazon. I haven't read any of Jack's novels, but I am looking forward to it and really think it is cool of him to offer it for free. Of course, if you like it, consider buying his other books. I certainly will.
Thanks for the heads up, I think I will check this book out. Too bad I missed the freebie day. Oh well.
ReplyDelete+1 for the Mack Bolan referance.
Wraith - Mack Bolan was one of my mainstays of my youth! I'm a little ways into the book and so far it is a good read

Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Many thanks!
