Register: Please take a few minutes to fill out the sign-up form if you plan to write with us for the 17th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge in March.
Help Us Grow the Challenge: Share my overview post and our podcast with friends or colleagues joining the individual challenge this March. For Classroom SOLSC info in April, direct them to Leah’s post.
Get Ready to Write: Every February, I worry about finding time to write and comment for 31 days straight. J.D. Biersdorfer, the NYT’s Tech Tip Editor, wrote “How to Cut Down Your Screen Time but Still Get Stuff Done” last month. In the article, she explains how to use Apple’s Shortcuts and Google’s Routines to maximize your time so you can focus. You can create routines and shortcuts on your phone or tablet to help you start writing and commenting daily in March. Click on the article title (above) or this link to read this article without hitting the paywall.
For Now: Please share your slice-of-life story below.
