Week 22/2022: Recovery mode
Week of 30 May 2022 Recovery mode I’m not very good at resting when I’m sick. My usual approach is as soon as I feel a little bit better, I start right back where I left off without making sure I’m fully recovered. Sometimes it’s been okay but, as...
Week 21/2022: Everything comes to a stop

Week 16/2022: Three days in Geelong

Week 14/2022: Life goes on
Week of 4 April 2022 Life goes on The challenges of last week aren’t in any hurry to ease up, so this week was about recognising that and adjusting things as I went. I’m glad I only listed four things to work on this week because I only got...
Week 13/2022: Deep work rhythms
