As I start today’s post by finally posting yesterday’s I am left to wonder if adding a fantasy league commissioner role to my task list is wise. It is not, but here we go anyway. I am a week away from embarking on my first ever operation as a fantasy league commish. I will be designing a league using the NFL network interface (because the league I play in is there and one stop shop is key) and running a fantasy draft from the beach.
okay, that part is cool.
The rest is a terrifying swirl of complications that I’ll use this space to get off my chest. Fantasy football requires an email and fairly constant logins, so for the kids to be able to play they will need to remember which email they use and have the wherewithal to login in at least once a week to get their team right–more if they want to deal with trades and such. I don’t mean to stay on top of them for this stuff. I want them to figure it out on their own.
I also have no sense of prizes or anything in regards to how fun this might be for any of them. I do know that i want to do it and I am excited to see what shakes out of it in the end. I also want that first pick.
Some Thoughts:
- Just had a random thought while I was blogging my 10… what if I applied this strategy to novel writing? What if I forced myself into 10 minute bursts per chapter of a story. Write on this chapter for ten, short break, go to the next. It is, in a sense, bringing the discipline of HIIT training to the writing space. This might be a thing!
