Week of 17 June A couple of conversations with people this week have reassured me that I’m not the only one who is feeling miserable and downcast during these short, dark, cold winter days and I’m not the only one who prefers to hibernate rather than be around crowds...

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...

Week of 25 March On Sunday I completed the month without alcohol challenge (thing 13). I went for a whole month without a drink. Yay me! I’ve written a lot about doing this over the month and I’m not going to go over it all again other than to...

On Tuesday I wrote about how I was going to attempt Chris Bailey’s water experiment that he wrote about in The Productivity Project. Chris gave up coffee, alcohol and soft drink for a month and drank only water. A lot of water. He says he drank four litres of...

Week of 11 March 2019 Week 11 has been interesting. I’m halfway through my 30 days of no alcohol (thing 13), which I wrote about on Thursday and onto day ten without coffee. As I mentioned in previous posts, I’m also tracking my energy levels over the course of...

Quite some time ago, I don’t remember when, I heard about Chris Bailey’s Productivity Project, in which Chris set out to conduct a year-long series of productivity experiments on himself to find out how different strategies and tips affected his work. He wrote a blog about his experiences and followed...

Week of 25 February Whatever is the world coming to? A mid-week update? This never happens! Next thing you know I’ll be returning to blogging every day. Maybe not. This is an update about getting ready to take on thing 13 from my 19 for 2019 list, which is...

This morning, after I had watched the sun slip over the horizon, I wrote: I was feeling great about everything I was doing until yesterday when a few curve balls stopped me in my tracks and I no longer felt like I was in a good place. So today...
