I’m reading (listening, actually) to the book White Rage by Carol Anderson. This is the 3rd in her series of books about inequality. This is the first I’ve read and it has me pretty angry and disturbed about a number of things. Sadly, not much of the information is new to me, but it does stir up a great deal of animosity about the systems of this country and the way these systems are constructed to keep certain people (be it a racial or socio-economic group) in power. There will be more about this text once I am done, but I started the 10 with this because it is part of a larger conversation about economy of time. I’m trying to make the most of my minutes, and reading more stuff is part of that. Writing more stuff is part of it as well.
I’m back to listing. I have a daily word count I am working towards as well as a list of tasks I’ve been able to stay on top of. This is a new way of me not drowning in work four weeks into the semester.
As for this blog, honestly, this is a weak one. I am low on the thought power. While I am revving up the brain power for writing this new project I find that little else of the discourse is happening. That is another part of the listing. It allows me to compartmentalize and continue to make time for stuff that is not the project I am writing.
I ought to add sleep to the list. I usually fight to avoid that one entirely.
