20 for 2020: week 12
Week of 16 March My 20 for 2020 list. This week has been one of upheaval and uncertainty, and I’m sure everyone else is feeling this too with the daily changes to circumstances resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic. These are strange times, unprecedented in my lifetime, and I...
The strategy of monitoring
If you’re familiar with Gretchen Rubin’s work, you may know about her Four Tendencies framework. This is a framework that attempts to explain how people respond to expectations and why strategies that work brilliantly for some people (such as having an accountability buddy) don’t work at all for others....
20 for 2020: week 8
Week of 17 February I finally posted my 20 for 2020 list here. It’s only taken eight weeks! This week was all about uni (thing 8). I went to a three-day workshop to go through the material for this unit, which, after all the self-analysis I did for the assignment,...
20 for 2020: week 7
Week of 10 February After two intense days of editing my uni assignment last weekend, I was grateful for a public holiday on Monday to recover. Kramstable and I were home and we took advantage of the space I’d made to set up the studio equipment (thing 11) and find...
20 for 2020: week 2
Week two: Week of 6 January Welcome to week two of 20 for 2020. This is the first full week for the year and I’m lucky I still have some time before my uni course starts to concentrate of some of the other tasks, some of which I think...
19 for 2019: week 18 update
Week of 29 April I went back to work this week. That always seems to take up an awful lot of my time for some reason! I made some progress with 19 for 2019. I did some work on the photo course (thing 1); I watched two videos and...
19 for 2019: more sleep, less booze
Quite some time ago, I don’t remember when, I heard about Chris Bailey’s Productivity Project, in which Chris set out to conduct a year-long series of productivity experiments on himself to find out how different strategies and tips affected his work. He wrote a blog about his experiences and followed...
19 for 2019; week 7 update
Week of 11 February 2019 Week 7 of 19 for 2019. This is going well! I should have made “update the blog at least once a week” a thing. After a big week last week, things were a lot slower this week. I watched one of the videos for...
19 for 19: week 6 update
Week of 4 February 2019 This was a big week. Not only was it back to school week but it was Kramstable’s first week of high school. Yes, I am the parent of a high school student! Where has that time gone? It doesn’t seem like eight years ago...
19 for 2019: update for week 4
19 for 2019: Week of 21 January 2019 My photo library collapsed last Sunday and this caused me a heap of chaos. I was able to restore the library from a week-old backup and the photos were archived as well, so I didn’t lose them, which was an enormous...
