As promised in my last post - I have put together a habit scorecard! Actually, I've made a few, separating them into different sections of the day/different routines that I can assign them to. If you are interested in learning more about this, I recommend James Clear's book 'Atomic Habits', or he has a website … Continue reading Making a Habit Scorecard
I have a confession to make ... This week's post was supposed to be about me putting together a 'Habits Scorecard' as part of my actions prescribed from reading 'Atomic Habits'. It's one of his first recommendations, to track pretty much every action you make and then rate against your goals as either positive, negative … Continue reading Knowing and Doing are Different
The world has changed, for everyone, and I'm struggling to find a new rhythm. I am in the UK, and for over a month now we've been in 'lockdown'; where all the entertainment and non-essential businesses have closed and people are only to leave the homes for essentials or once a day to exercise. My … Continue reading Shifts in Routine
So this is going to be my last post for this year as I head home to spend Christmas with my family. I thought that it would be a good opportunity to reflect on what this year has been like for me. I've been writing this blog for over a year now, so I have … Continue reading Goodbye 2019
We are already half way through November! Even with keeping on top of planning and time - that seems to have come around quickly. I decided that as there is now less than 2 months left of the year, it's a good point to put some extra motivation behind myself for the different things I … Continue reading The End (of 2019) is Nigh!
The first thing that I have written in my list of gratitudes that I repeat as part of my morning routine is: I am grateful for my continued good health, comfort and opportunities (The next is that I'm grateful for the same in the people I care about.) There are a couple of very important … Continue reading Grateful for my health
I've been struggling a little recently, but this week has been much better than the last few, and I'm finishing it off feeling like next week is going to be even better. I've managed to pull myself back into my morning routine and some of my night routine (I'm not managing the night routine every … Continue reading Making Progress again
I have had a really bad week Not because of anything I've done (I don't think), just that the world seems to be working against me this week. Admittedly, I've been feeling low for the last few weeks and I'm still trying to get fully back into my routines - so that won't have helped. … Continue reading There will always be those days
I have a tendency to be a bit of a dabbler, and to not push myself and put 100% into things. I'm one of those people that can get by without having to do that, so I haven't bothered. But that's not who I want to be. Because if everything that I have achieved so … Continue reading Approaching things with purpose
Prepare to Fail! or so the saying goes. Since I've returned from my holiday, I've not been great at continuing all of the habits and techniques that I had started building. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed. Part of the reason for this is that, for one reason or another, I've not had the chance … Continue reading Fail to Prepare …
