Week 21/2022: Everything comes to a stop

Making space

Thinking about rethinking I’m wondering whether 22 for 2022 is really a useful tool for my blog since I’ve been working on a bunch of things that aren’t related to my 22 for 2022 list. In fact, I’ve forgotten what’s on the list apart from the things I’m actively...

Week 13/2022: Deep work rhythms

Week 12/2022: Schedules suck

Week of 21 March 2022 Schedules suck This week I went to one of TAFE’s workshops on adult literacy tutoring that they’ve been running as an introduction to the literacy and numeracy course I’m doing. Yes, I’m doing it a bit backwards because it’s meant to be a taster...
