Week 15/2023: The air we breathe

Week of 10 April 2023 I love short weeks! I mean, with a public holiday the week isn’t any shorter but I have more of it to myself. So it’s actually a longer week from that perspective. We had visitors over the easter break and what else do you...

Week 14/2023: A slow, painful week

Week of 3 April 2023 A slow down This week I was going to try out Laura Vanderkam’s idea of creating backup slots in my week to allow for unexpected things that might derail me. I didn’t end up doing it because Friday was a holiday and I didn’t...

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 48/2022: The continuing shoulder saga

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...

Week 47/2022: Moving again

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 46/2022: A painful week

Week of 14 November 2022 A painful week So, what would be the next fun thing that might happen after a couple of weeks of feeling flat, uninspired and unmotivated? Oh, yes! My back could give out on me. Which is, of course, exactly what happened on Monday morning...

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...
