A now page, why?

Projects I’m working on
Staying consistent by publishing a weekly update
I’ve been keeping up with publishing my weekly newsletter. I moved to a Monday publishing cadence, which has helped immensely. I also have a better system for tracking and compiling notes for each post. It’s been super helpful. Writing is challenging for me, so the weekly deadline holds me accountable to keep working at it.
Google Dataform
I’ve been spending time learning Google Dataform, a data orchestration tool. It’s ability to build automated data pipelines with SQL has been a draw. The integration with GitHub is also an added bonus. I’m still getting the hang of how to best manage project organization. I’ve also been noodling with how scheduling works best.
Blogging
I’ve been on a pretty good streak of publishing blog posts recently, in addition to my weekly updates. I aim for one a month, but recently, for a few months, I’ve posted two. Topic certainly plays a role. I’ve been attempting to write shorter, notes type posts. You should check them out here if you’re interested.

Books I’m reading
The Design of Everyday Things by Donald A. Norman
I’ve seen this book suggested several times. I was looking for a new professional read, and I felt it was a good time to pick it up. I’ve only just started it, but the information and examples shared thus far have been helpful.
