Week 27/2023: Backs and shoulders, arms and eyes
Week of 3 July 2023 Backs, shoulders and arms This week I was going to write about how well I was doing putting last week‘s shoulder exercise habits back into place. But, well, I’m not. Last weekend, I decided to very helpfully over-exert my back when I was emptying...
Week 25/2023: Winter solstice
Wintering doesn’t come easy Week of 19 June 2023 I like the idea of celebrating winter solstice in some way but it never seems to happen. The fault is entirely mine, of course. I don’t plan anything, and I certainly don’t like to go outside, which is what the...
Sustainable living weekend
The Big Weekend of Sustainable Living Ideas On Saturday, Lil Sis and I went to Sustainable Living Tasmania’s Big Weekend of Sustainable Living Ideas, which was held across two venues in Bridgewater. SLT put on free buses from the city to Bridgewater so it was no trouble at all...
Week 5/2023: Atomic habits
Week of 30 January 2023 Putting things in place I had only two days of work this week before having a week off for the last week of school holidays. It’s weird, knowing that there’s only one more year that January will be school holidays. Time off has given...
Week 48/2021: the heat is on

Week 18/2021: week of 4 May 2021 21 for 2021 update This week in the Change Journal I tried out the Eisenhower Principle chapter, which I am familiar with but don’t think I’ve ever actually used. It’s a way of prioritising things according to their importance and their urgency. I’ve...
21 for 2021: week 13
Week 13/2021: week of 29 March 2021 This week, I started the last of the five habits in chapter 7 of the Change Journal (thing 4). This habit relates to a challenge I’ve started this month with Trina O’Gorman to write for at least 15 minutes every day. Trina...

Week 12/2021: week of 22 March I still haven’t started a new chapter of the Change Journal (thing 4) but I have been working my way through the Habits chapter (7), the Clarity chapter (8) and the Pitch Yourself chapter (9). I mentioned doing the UK trip book (thing...
21 for 2021: week 9
Week 09/2021: week of 1 March 21 for 2021 update Last year, one of my 20 for 2020 things was to have a month without alcohol. I started that on 2 March 20202 and I haven’t had a drink since then. So this week marked the one-year anniversary of my...
