I found myself feeling overwhelmed again this week, between unpacking and leading two projects between my classes. But I sat with that feeling for a while, and then I started a plan to make these next two weeks more manageable.

In our group meeting tonight I had the idea for us to take an inventory of our GitHub site and determine what the minimum viable product was before the Digital Showcase. And we went through each and every page and listed out everything we’d like to see. And we categorized them by what we knew we could deliver, and what we’d like to deliver if possible (or what we might be interested in delivering after the Digital Showcase).

We agreed to do the same for our Commons site, though asynchronously via our group forum.

And I have to say, it was a great exercise. We were able to acknowledge all of the amazing work all of us have been doing, especially Nadia with the development of the site. And we struck a balance between excitement and exploration while also trying to remain considerate of all of our time.

And I’m feeling so much better for it. Thanks team!
