Week 8/2023: Atomic habits part 3

Week of 20 February 2023 Atomic Habits Part 3 After the drama of last weekend, I’d hoped that this week would be a bit quieter. It was, but I felt like I was doing more thinking about what I wanted to get done and planning for it, setting things...

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 49/2022: Not much to say

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 45/2022: Another week goes by

Week of 14 November 2022 Another week goes by I had another not great week this week. I did a couple of things on the weekend that will get their very own posts, so that took up any time I would have had to do my 22 for 2022...

Week 44/2022: It’s not happening

Week of 31 October 2022 It’s not happening I don’t know, I’m just not feeling it at the moment. Unmotivated, uninspired, like I could just sit on the couch all day and feed my mind and body crap. I know there’s a lot of pandemic fatigue out there and...

Week 43/2022: The week that wasn’t

Week of 24 October 2022 The week that wasn’t If there were a prize for the worst week of the year so far, this week would win it hands down. It was my first five-day work week for a while and I had to spend two days in an...
