Released two courses today that I’ve been working on since June.

They were originally one course that ended up needing to be split into two, which delayed progress, and then everything had to be done twice.

So glad to close that out before the holidays!

I'm not sure if there's a catchier title for a presentation than "The Four Horseman of the Learning Apocalypse"

Great session with Lauren Hodges.

I would love presentations to disclose breakout rooms in the description so I can make a more informed decision. I hate getting into a presentation I'm enjoying and freezing up as soon as a breakout room comes up. If I'm prepared for it going in, it's okay. I don't like surprise forced interaction.

Really enjoyed Michelle Lentz's session on The Future-Ready Instructional Designer! Michelle is a fantastic, engaging presenter and discussed some thought-provoking ideas on how AI is going to shape the landscape of ID.

I had a hard time deciding what to attend next but landed on Using AI to Facilitate Effective Learning Measurement with Jeffrey Berk.

lol. I just don’t have a need to pitch myself personally. I’m typically pitching a product or service, not me.

This was so insightful.

I'm familiar with Elevator Pitches as an author, but I've never considered having an elevator pitch FOR MYSELF.

Will definitely be working on that ASAP.

This β€œnever switch colors” pre-measured yarn is a pain to figure out.

A lot of trial and error.

But we got there.

The project that I feel like I’ve been building all year is back from the final review & only needs minor tweaks.

It’s one that got split into two courses after initial review, which made me redo a lot of work and build a second course.

Fingers crossed it’s out the door before the end of year.

Timers are hit and miss for me. I use them a lot for writing but I am very good at distracting myself πŸ˜‚ most days I feel like I have no in between. I’m either hyper focused or SQUIRREL

That’s good!

My issue is more that I live on a curvy backroad that cars do like twice the speed limit on and there’s no sidewalk. It’s walk on the road or in a ditch lol

I can. But I find it difficult to work on Captivate on my tiny laptop monitor when I have two giant external monitors at home πŸ˜‚ if I’m not in captivate I do go out sometimes. But 9/10 times I’m working in Captivate.

I wish I lived in a place where it was safe to take outdoor walks. I have a treadmill but it’s just not the same!

Some days I have a really hard time poking my brain to want to focus on my project when the material is as dry as it is.

2.5 years into this job and I need some new tricks to get my brain motivated.

It was my thing on LinkedIn for a while. I shared a pun every day because we all need a laugh (or a groan lol), but I haven't been as active on LinkedIn the last year and the pun sharing has suffered.

I will christen my ID profile with a pun, since that is on brand.
