NGL, I was expecting to hear *crickets* when I asked this to the Substack ether last week:

My son and I are both on summer break — him from preschool, me from my doctoral program — and the last few days we’ve languidly floated through the daylight hours taking walks, watching movies, going to parks, taking the train, and generally chilling.

The few hours I’ve spent working-working I’ve been chipping away at our newest North Node challenge (publishing a podcast in two weeks, tomorrow is day 6!) and organizing my research agenda for the summer, which is honestly pure pleasure because it consists of:

* looking up books and research articles

* thinking about books and research articles

* buying books

* printing research articles

* surveying all of my materials and figuring out who wants to sit with whom

Dream, non?

What’s a research agenda and why do you want one?
