About What I Read This Week: I read a lot. All the time. Too much. I’d like to be held accountable. During my day-to-day, I keep a Google doc that I update with an article name, URL, and a quote of everything I read or watch. I blog the list every Friday.

Finally, it’s here! A week I didn’t over-read. I get very tired. And this was a reaction to having one week to myself after much disruption over the month. Also all that extra reading time went into watching the bear cam. Amazing nature!

You just want to do it; you want to be so ‘this’ and so ‘that.’ So much so that the end product is over-thought.”
