https://gnomestew.com/session-interruptus/
How campaign interruptions affect the game, and how to deal with them.
Not the small interruptions like someone gets a phone call at the table, but like when you meet every week normally, but one week someone has something come up so the session is canceled completely.
Usually as a one-off it's not too bad, but if it happens repeatedly it can be problematic. The Article has some great insights, & advice, about "Session Interruptus"

https://gnomestew.com/managing-your-digital-library/
A nice article about how to manage your digital RPG book library.
Unlike normal fiction/non-fiction books, simple author/title type sorting just won't cut it.
Separating things by game system, Player aids, GM books etc. can be really handy, and this article puts Zotero to the task
