Week 52/2022: It’s not the end

3 January 2023
Week 52/2022: Week of 26 December 2022 It’s not the end I’m one of those lucky people for whom the end of the year is an enforced shutdown. My favourite thing to do during this week is to not do anything and not go anywhere. And that is precisely...

Week 50/2022: The end of what?

21 December 2022
Week of 12 December 2022 The end of what? I’m getting that end of year exhaustion thing that seems to strike in early December where people (or is it just me?) start to think the end of the year is looming, so there’s not much point in starting anything...

Week 49/2022: Not much to say

18 December 2022
Week of 5 December 2022 Not much to say This week was mostly the same as last week, with a couple of exciting things at the end of the week that involved Kramstable. I went out searching for agapanthus and kept exercising my shoulder. 22 for 2022 update I’m...

Week 48/2022: The continuing shoulder saga

10 December 2022
Week of 28 November 2022 The continuing shoulder saga I went back to the physio this week. She asked me about my back injury. It’s settled down a lot, I said. And your shoulder? I feel like that’s not getting any better. It’s a bit stuck. Have you been...

30 November 2022
Week of 21 November 2022 Move by 3 p.m. Getting back to posts about Laura Vanderkam’s book Tranquility by Tuesday, chapter 3 is called Move by 3 p.m. (Yes, I’ve skipped chapter 2. Because it’s complicated!) If you’re super observant, you might have noticed one of the habits I’ve...

Week 38/2022: Writing a bit more

27 September 2022
Week of 19 September 2022 Writing a bit more I did some writing this week. My goal was to complete each day’s writing task in the Creative Writing Bootcamp on the actual day of the task. That didn’t quite go according to plan. Well, one of the day’s tasks...

Week 27/2022: The (not so great) restart

15 July 2022
Week of 4 July 2022 The (not so) great restart My mid-year review last week is supposed to set me up for the next three months at least and I have my three key areas to focus on during this time. I also wanted to get back into my...

Week 47/2021: 80/20 revisited

4 December 2021
Week of 22 November 2021 80/20 revisited I’ve been pulling together some resources to support me in working with the 80/20 principle in the way David duChemin described it in last week’s post. As I was going through my overcrowded email box, I saw several newsletters with links to...

Week 46/2021: a frustrating week

23 November 2021
Week of 15 November 2021 A frustrating week Following last week’s post about building in buffer and recovery periods during your day so you can come to your work at your fullest capacity, this week has felt like a continuation of the last two. I’ve felt like I have...
