Open Thread Wednesday: What's at the Bottom of your To-Do List? Anastasia Salter Every few days of summer, I recopy my to-do list to a new page of my notebook (currently, a Moleskine Professional Notebook because I like the page layouts.) Jason wrote about addressing the challenges of unstructured summer time through careful to-do list management previously: he advised making use of regular reminders to keep important tasks in front of you. I've written in the past about my preference for physical to-do lists, but I find the very act of recopying is enough reinforcement for most deadlines.

Weekend Reading: Fading Summer Edition Anastasia Salter Sundial, Perranporth flickr photo by Tim Green aka atoach shared under a Creative Commons (BY) license Summer is moving quickly, especially for those of us with semester start times looming just around the corner in August. This is the time of year when deadlines on the calendar are definitely closer than they appear. I for one have found myself increasingly focused on the calendar, but it's important to take a break and find time in summer for recovery and reflection. With that in mind, this week's readings focus on time and transitions. Aimée Morrison's piece Beginnings, Endings, and Transitions may be particularly timely for those of you contemplating an ending: "But some of you, like me, are not so much starting something new on Saturday, but rather ending something. Returning to regular ranks, leaving a...
