Pilot Program: New Two-Month Posting Schedule Adjustment

Pilot Program: New Two-Month Posting Schedule Adjustment

Hello all readers and followers,

Hope you've all been staying healthy, safe, and happy as the pandemic continues to rage around the world. You'll all be glad to know that I've been doing very well lately, despite my life now feeling busier than it was even a month ago. And that's where the main point of this post begins. 

Soon, my current day job will end (as it involves working on a one-time project), and as a result, I have become busy searching for and working on job applications. With that in mind, in recent months, I have begun to feel that with my current schedule, I sometimes cannot keep up with a twice-per-week posting schedule that has been in place since this blog's initiation. In the last few months, there have been multiple instances (including this past Sunday) where I spontaneously cancelled a scheduled post because I had nothing ready for publication and/or needed additional time to complete said content. 

After giving some thought to this situation, I decided to try a two-month pilot program that will start this week. For the rest of March and all of April, I will only be publishing new content every Sunday at 8pm PST, temporarily eliminating the Thursday night posting slot. The purpose of this experiment will be to see how a once-a-week posting schedule works with simultaneously juggling my day job and my ongoing job search efforts. At the end of April, by which point my day job will likely be finished, I will decide whether to keep the new schedule or revert to the old one.

With that in mind, the next post will be coming out this coming Sunday, March 7, 2021 at 8pm PST. See you all then!
