19 for 2019: week 13 update

Week of 25 March On Sunday I completed the month without alcohol challenge (thing 13). I went for a whole month without a drink. Yay me! I’ve written a lot about doing this over the month and I’m not going to go over it all again other than to...

19 for 2019: week 12 update

Week of 18 March 2019 I’m really happy looking at my 19 for 2019 list stuck on my wall near my desk. I have six of the 19 things I wanted to do this year ticked off and it’s only March. I finished my reading goal of 12 books...

19 for 2019: week 11 update

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...

19 for 2019: more sleep, less booze

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...

19 for 2019: mid-week 9 update

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...

19 for 2019 update: week 8

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 7 update

Week of 11 February 2019 Week 7 of 19 for 2019. This is going well! I should have made “update the blog at least once a week” a thing. After a big week last week, things were a lot slower this week. I watched one of the videos for...

19 for 19: week 6 update

Week of 4 February 2019 This was a big week. Not only was it back to school week but it was Kramstable’s first week of high school. Yes, I am the parent of a high school student! Where has that time gone? It doesn’t seem like eight years ago...

19 for 2019: week 5 update

19 for 19 update: week of 28 January 2019 This week’s baby step in taking better care of me (thing 6) so that I can do the things I want to do this year is to focus on breathing. I have learned that diaphragmatic breathing helps to activate your...

19 for 2019: update for week 4

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...
