Can anyone recommend any organisation/project management software (e.g. Trello) intended for the use of just one person (moi)? All these programmes are meant for companies and teams, and I am just one tiny person trying to manage a little project called 'my life' help

Does anyone have any advice for independent scholars with full-time day jobs, who wish to stay active and current in their academic field? On another note, I'm looking forward to seeing the article I wrote for @MedWarMag in print this month! #independentscholar #historian

So proud to have contributed to the inaugural issue of Medieval World: Culture & Conflict! I wrote a short piece about the dual natures of early medieval warriors in Britain. Go buy the magazine and check it out! #medievaltwitter

Hey everyone. I decided that balancing a full-time job with my academic pursuits wasn't hard enough, so I added a rescue pup to the chaos. Meet Ozi Dogsbourne, Prince of Barkness. Breed unknown, but we suspect he's a bretzel-goblin mix. Praise him.

Does anyone happen to have access to English Historical Documents 1042-1189 at this very moment, or in the immediate future? I would be extremely grateful if someone could scan something for me! #medievaltwitter #twitterhistorians
