The coming week: Must Do, Should Do, Could Do

1 minute read article Leadership   Technology   Productivity Comments

I’m trying something new this week, and depending on how it goes, it may become part of my routine.

I read about it in a book, but even searching my Kindle, I have no clue what book it was in. It obviously wasn’t all that memorable, BUT I do remember this concept.

The idea is to think about the things you MUST do, the things you SHOULD do, and then the things you COULD do. It’s meant as a daily exercise, and I did try it once before with some success. I will do it daily in private, but I wanted to do it publicly for the week and then post an update on Friday.

Must Do

  • Finish reviewing a manuscript for someone and provide the feedback to them.
  • Finish my series on moving from WordPress to Jekyll.
  • Learn some new things about Azure for a project - the “things” are TBD on Monday when I check work email again.
  • Follow-up with two clients to make sure they don’t need anything from me.

Should Do

  • Take the AZ104 exam and pass it this time.
  • Schedule the next few months of meetings for the meetup I run.
  • Commit some code to GitHub that only lives on my Windows machine.
  • Prep for a talk I’m giving on the 26th.

Could Do

  • Figure out if a BIOS update will allow me to enable the functionality Microsoft says I’m missing in order to upgrade to Windows 11.
  • Start working on some data analysis for an upcoming blog post I want to write.
