Winding down and looking ahead

I'm feeling a little tired as the year draws to a close. I'm ready for a break and I'm certain I'm not alone. I'm looking forward to having some down time to recharge my batteries. On the flip side of that I want to organise my time outside of work a bit more. I know that doesn't sound very relaxing, but it does help me focus. My mind jumps from thing I would like to do to another too fast sometimes, so I am thinking of listing everything I would like to do or achieve whether it is short or…

Overdue sorting

I am off work for a couple of days on leave so I thought it would be a good idea to sort out my workspaces a little. The areas started to make me feel a little claustrophobic. Too much clutter building up. After finding some suitable music (Ska being my weapon of choice) I got to work, and I have to say I am incredibly happy with the results so far. I still have my electronics and gaming area to tackle but my work and dev space is a lot better laid out. It is already giving me more motivation…

I have emerged… again.

Wow it has been quite a long time since I posted. It is funny and a little disturbing how fast time can slip by. Do you ever get that what I think may be called decision paralysis? Not sure if that is the right term or even if it is a real term. However, the best way I can describe it is when you have some free time, and you want to make the most of it. You want to maximise the efficiency of the time and go through all the things you want to achieve only to get locked…

The week off started great on my birthday. We went out for food, and it was great! I knew I'd pay for it on the scales though (yes, I am trying to lose weight) and I was right. I gained a little. But, after some adjustments and getting right back on top of things I managed to lose what I gained last week…

Where does the time go?

It only seems like yesterday to me that I was thinking about what I wanted to achieve in the new year. It feels like I blinked, and it is August. I'll be honest, I have not achieved everything I wanted to as fast as I wanted to, but I have made progress. For that I am grateful. There have been a few setbacks, but they are shorter. When I say I shorter they still can last for a few weeks but before they went on for months. If I can get them down to days by the end of the…
