Week 05/2026: January 26
Week of 26 January 2026 Monday was a public holiday in Australia. It’s been a national public holiday since 1994. I’m grateful that my workplace recognises that this is a date that causes pain to many First Nations people and allows us to substitute this public holiday for another...
Week 04/2026 Not finishing

Week 43/2025: The week I ditched my Fitbit

Week 42/2025: A week off
Week of 13 October 2025 I had this week off work. Hurrah! It was the week after school holidays. It’s weird. Now I don’t have a school-age child living at home, I have no idea when school holidays is and the only way I notice is there is less...
Week 32: The time blocking experiment continues
Experiments in time blocking (part 2) Week of 4 August 2025 I’m playing catchup with my blog at the moment. Everything’s in a half-drafted state and I just need to get on with it and post the stories. The internet fault currently going on at my house due to...
