Cool! Gonna think about my own themes. One concern: Sometimes inspiration hits to write (or do finances?) on a different day of the week. Would feel wrong to resist it. Doesn't this happen to you sometimes?

Hiya Chris! Yes would be interested to hear your themes, always looking for whatever I've missed. Hahah yes, I'm constantly inspired to do finances, it's really a problem :)

Totally, my theme days are less a rule and more a suggestion. They also help me remember my work areas. Your reflection makes me wonder how we can better allow space for inspiration to hit.

I love this, Kat! Admirable conviction on the alliteration, and more importantly, thanks for the peak into your structured time. I'm going to be thinking about this...

Thanks Sasha! Intrigued to hear what your version is/becoming, since the academic calendar adds its own structure :)
