Weekend wisdom 4: perfectionism meets comparison
A weekly review of things that came through my inbox that I found interesting and want to remember. Perfectionism has been the major theme in the things that have caught my eye over the last couple of weeks and I think I’m calling an uneasy truce with it now...
19 for 2019: week 26 update
Coming up to the middle of the year, I’ve completed nine of my 19 things I wanted to do this year. That’s pretty close to half, although the pedant in me says that half of 19 is nine-and-a-half, which is rounded up to ten, so I should have completed...
Weekend wisdom 2
Welcome to another instalment of my (hopefully) weekly posts on the things that came through my inbox that resonated with me this week. (Week 1’s introduction post is here.) First up this week is an old post that I had saved from Ali Stegart’s blog Alphabet Soup and somehow...
19 for 2019: week 23 update
Week of 3 June: Sunday 9 June 2019 My work has been incredibly busy the last month. I have been putting in long hours, not taking proper breaks and not taking very good care of myself. I haven’t been walking, I haven’t been drinking enough water, I haven’t been...
19 for 2019: week 19 update
Week of 4 May I don’t have a lot to update this week. I went to work, had a training course and went to a wedding (yay!). I had a nice day walking around Launceston on Friday (more than 33,000 steps for the record) before I was struck down...
19 for 2019: week 18 update
Week of 29 April I went back to work this week. That always seems to take up an awful lot of my time for some reason! I made some progress with 19 for 2019. I did some work on the photo course (thing 1); I watched two videos and...
19 for 2019: week 17 update
Week of 22 April One of the things that’s on my 19 for 2019 list is to finish a photo project I’d been working on for a while (thing 16). It’s going to be fun, but it’s also intimidating, and I’ve been avoiding it. I had a much easier photo...
19 for 2019: week 15 and 16 update
Week of 8 April Most of what I did this week was around my photography. On Sunday, I spent several hours in town taking photos, some of which aligned (I hope) with some of the assignments for the course I’m doing (thing 1). I need to sort them and...
Bored and Brilliant challenge 4: app addled
Previous posts on the challenge: Bored and Brilliant introduction post Challenge 1 Challenge 2 Challenge 3 An idea came to me for a work thing while I was out walking without my phone. It works! Today was the day to delete the app. The tough day that was coming...
Bored and Brilliant challenge 3: making memories
Previous posts on the challenge: Bored and Brilliant introduction post Challenge 1 Challenge 2 Tuesday I had another day without using my phone in transit. I didn’t feel any particular urge to use it or feel that I was missing anything. My biggest fear is that I will forget...
