This Week’s Key Dates

Day Event Priority
Fri 1/30 Jury Duty (reporting) Currently here
Fri 1/30 Hold 100x @ 1pm Medium
Fri 1/30 Weekly Personal Review @ 2pm Medium
Fri 1/30 ⚠️ Colombia chatbot due CRITICAL
Sat 2/1 OMAN TRIP BEGINS TRAVEL

Today’s Priorities

  1. ⚠️ FINISH Colombia chatbot - Non-negotiable. School testing Feb 5, you leave tomorrow.
  2. Push Build-a-Bot start messages - Ready to deploy, quick win
  3. Pick up suit jacket - Overdue, need for Oman
  4. Final Oman prep - Voting form & case card confirmations with Farah
  5. Hold 100x @ 1pm (if free from jury duty)

Reality check: Your ability to get things done depends on when jury duty releases you. If you’re there all day, Colombia chatbot becomes an evening/tonight job.

Notes

  • OMAN IS TOMORROW - This is your last day to wrap things up
  • Jury duty may eat significant time - plan accordingly
  • Colombia chatbot is the highest priority work item
  • Build-a-Bot deploy is a 5-minute task - do it when you have a moment
  • Josh’s Google Slides comments worth checking when you have wifi/break
