Since I've been trying to be better about sharing the process instead of just the product, here's my latest 3x3.

1. Monthly updates:

  1. Helped a friend get right-side-up with capacity planning!
  2. Keeping up with trailrunning and training!!
  3. Started going to live music again!!!

2. Primary focus areas:

  1. Keep working on the beta version of my new CMS app!
  2. More networking with folks in my field (and beyond?!)
  3. Close out the site's content (re)tagging project!

3. What I’m currently reading:

  1. Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson.
  2. Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
  3. So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport.

What does your 3x3 look like?
