I seem to have started on this even though the planning isn't finished so it is a work in progress. I really want some non-reading/non-screen real life activities added so that is my research project next. I've always loved and pursued research and learning so this idea of more structured learning really appeals to me.
Anyway, right now this is where my plan stands.
Exploration
Because it is part of my theme for my 76th year and part of my personality and life.
READ
Philosophy for Polar Explorers (book purchased)
For fun fictional pairing with The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley (on hold at library)
WRITE
How to relate this to my 76th year and beyond
Detective Stories in Literature (Golden Age Detectives vs LA Noir vs Indian/Chinese vs fan fiction)
Because this is what I read most of and I enjoy the Victorian/Early 20th Century settings.
READ
In the Shadow of Agatha Christie (checked out from library)
- Howdunit: A Masterclass in Crime Writing by Members of the Detection Club (on hold at library)
YOUTUBE
The Macabre Birth of the Detective Story Genre - Lady of the Library
Because opium is often a part of period mystery fiction and I’m interested in historical global impacts of human behavior.
READ
Smoke and Ashes by Amitav Ghosh
Babel by R F Kuang
How to improve Bone Strength
Because I have osteopenia and do not want to take supplements as my body doesn’t react well to them.
YOUTUBE
Do You Really Need Calcium Supplements? What Science Says! - The Bone Builder System
- Many potential bone strengthening/osteoporosis exercise YouTubes to select from
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Create/find a beginner bone strength exercise program to follow 3 days a week
Continue to increase dietary calcium consumption
I usually do better with a plan, too, even if I have to tweak it as I go.
