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...

Week of 4 March Well, things took an unexpected turn this week, with a no-coffee experiment being unexpectedly thrown into the mix. You can read about that in Saturday’s post. Everything else is going slowly, with my main focus this month on getting more sleep, avoiding alcohol (thing 13),...

Week of 25 February 2019 After my two mid-week posts, it’s time for my regular weekly update on 19 for 2019. You most likely would have seen my posts last week about starting my 30 days alcohol-free (thing 13) and how I’m using that to try to get to...

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...

Week of 18 February I’m enjoying doing these posts. It’s a nice way to end the week: to look back over what I’ve achieved (or haven’t), what I’ve learned and what I’ve done. And, of course, what progress I have made with my 19 for 2019 list. It ties...

19 for 2019: Week of 21 January 2019 My photo library collapsed last Sunday and this caused me a heap of chaos. I was able to restore the library from a week-old backup and the photos were archived as well, so I didn’t lose them, which was an enormous...

We’re almost one week into 2019 and I’ve printed my 19 for 2019 list and stuck it on my wall so I’ll see it rather than make it and forget about it. I’m going to try and keep myself accountable by posting my progress over the year, so, welcome...

I am really struggling with the “clarity” project. I think I’m finding it hard to lock things like my values and purpose into writing, because I think once they’re committed in writing they’ll be locked in and I’ll never be able to change them. It’s an issue I’ve struggled...
