Hello, it's Martine here, I am recording this towards the end of June 2021 and I wanted to give you an idea of what's on the horizon for The Teaching Space - in particular, the podcast.

Next year is the third and final year of my masters in education - my dissertation year. I know this is going to take up a lot of my energy and focus, but I am determined to reach the end.

The reality of this is, of course, I need to refocus my priorities a bit.

Podcasting is so much fun - I love doing it and I think I will always be a podcaster, but the reality is that it is incredibly time-consuming. Next year, I am going to take a break from my two weekly podcasting schedule and do something a bit different.

I am going to focus on two things for The Teaching Space.

• Writing

• Informal audio

You might have noticed if you follow me on Twitter, that I have been working on my writing by doing the Ship 30 for 30 challenge. I plan to keep up the frequent production of short-form essays and will be publishing them in a variety of places including Twitter, Medium and my email newsletter.

I'm going to experiment with informal audio over the summer - I am exploring Anchor and Racket to see what is the lowest friction.

While it sounds like you might hear a bit less from me, in actual fact, I think you will see and hear more!

So, here's what I'd like you to do if you want to keep up with what I am doing.

• Follow me on Twitter: MartineGuernsey.

• Subscribe to my email newsletter, The Teaching Space Extra.

• Stay subscribed to the podcast in your favourite podcast app.

• Join the community.

I'm planning a break over the summer, although I will still be writing on Twitter.

Feel free to reach out by email if you have questions: hello@theteachingspace.com.

Speak soon.

• Notion has enabled me to conduct a yearly and monthly review consistently for the first time ever. I am also refining my weekly review process. This is the first time I have managed this behaviour consistently, and it is game changing. This is a personal review - but could easily apply to work and there is always some cross over. Undertaking personal reviews is enabling me to meet my goals. (01:13).
• On the subject of goals, that’s where it all starts, so I am going to walk you through my process.
• Annual review (03:09)
  • Review the year (screenshot).
