Over the December holidays I was supposed to study much more than I did. It’s my fault that I’m now behind, but I was also a bit scared of what I had to do. I’ve got some essay work still to do and a write-up of a mini programming task I completed. The thing I was Read More

Progress Against The Past
A couple weeks ago I attempted to declutter by selling off my old games consoles. It was mostly successful, I sold off over £280 worth of stuff, but my second-hand PS4 had been opened before I bought it and apparently my PS3 didn’t output HD, so the tech store I was selling to couldn’t accept either.

When Inspiration Rings, Answer The Call
Lately I’ve been thinking about communication and knowledge sharing and collaboration and all that good stuff. These things excite and inspire me and when I express that, I feel great. Unfortunately, my introverted nature coupled with my desire to get everything done right now makes it difficult for me to spend time working on the communication Read More
The Complete Robot… Again
One of the upsides and downsides of being unwell is that you can only allow yourself to do things that take very little effort. So whilst I am resting to recover from this damn cold, I can’t do much. I can rest, keep clean, watch NetFlix and read. I’ve decided that I shouldn’t be playing proper Read More
Back To Business
I am back after a four day break from work, study and blogging. And if anyone is interested, I ate, I slept, I played video games. Not much else. Getting back into it now, there is a lot for me to do. The world marched on while I slacked off. The work on my plate has Read More
Focus!
Sometimes I get distracted from my work. There’s a conversation going on that sounds too fun not to join in. Someone asks me something that isn’t super important, but they’re right there and I want to help them. I work on a small project for half an hour instead of the big one that has priority. Read More
32 At 32
A couple of weekends ago, I was shopping for some new trousers and had to try them on to be sure they’d be comfortable. There were casual ones in small, medium and large so I tried the medium and large. The medium fit me fine, they were stretchy after all, but the normal sizing for men’s Read More
How To Be Super Productive
Sometimes when I talk about productivity, it sounds like I live and breathe to simply be productive. The header image would certainly support that and it is an example of a productive day for me. However, whilst I do love being productive, I also love being lazy. This is no exaggeration and I have the proof. Read More
Going From Dual Income To Single
This is the second month since we switched from a dual income to a single income household. We wanted to do this so that my wife could focus on studying, as her job with its random shifts was sapping her energy and killing her ability to focus. The important thing here is that we discussed it Read More
Giving Up To Win: A Story Of Goal Seek
For the last couple of weeks, I have been intermittently working on a fiendishly challenging Excel problem. This was something I’d not encountered before, there was no simple formula or method for it. Searching online yielded results that worked in specific circumstances, but not mine. And the only reason I finally succeeded, was because I knew Read More
