One thing that always surprises me is how few people have savings. I know a lot of people my age who are living paycheck to paycheck and are actually struggling to support themselves at the end of the month. Having some savings is such an important things once you reach adulthood, and the nature of … Continue reading Money Matters -How to Begin
I've labelled this post as part 1 not because I'm going to continue the subject next week - but because it's a category that I feel is going to arise at multiple points in my journey. Balance is important, and currently I'm trying to change massive portions of my life - which inevitably throws a … Continue reading Finding a balance – part 1
The New Year has come and I'm excited. Right now, I am feeling really positive about the year ahead of me. I'm not really one for making new year's resolutions or putting a lot of pressure on the start of the new year, but it is a good marker as a starting point. I'm not … Continue reading Welcoming 2019
It would be really nice if I could say that my life has changed in a week, that the addition of a journal to my productivity plan has changed everything and made me get 200% more done this week than before. But that's not a realistic thing to have happened (in my opinion - let … Continue reading My First Week with my Journal
I am a practising Catholic and as such I celebrate Christmas (not that you need to be Catholic for that these days). It seems like 2 minutes since last Christmas and it certainly doesn't feel like we should be nearly half-way through December already!

I think it's an important part of … Continue reading Keeping the Promises You Make to Yourself

I even watched a buzzfeed video about success habits where waking up at 5 was one … Continue reading Why Starting your day at 5am is recommended for achieving more!
I'm nearly 2 months into my journey for being a better me. That's not very long, but I think it's going well so far. At the very least I feel like I am starting to establish some new habits that will be a positive influence on my life, and I'm starting to get some things … Continue reading Preparing To Move (hopefully) Forward
This week has been about continuing with the habits I've already started building, trying to get them more routine, and doing a few introspection exercises. So I thought that this week I would go through some of the things that I have been doing since I started this self-development project and how they are going … Continue reading Continuing to Build my Starter Habits
There's an important distinction in life - some progress is better than none! - Particularly when the progress is purposeful. Last week's post discussed how I had stalled a little in my progress. In my first post I had said the the hard part was to start and then it continued to be hard while … Continue reading Reclaiming my Progress
