It has been some time since I wrote a blog post and a lot has happened. I have finished submitting all of my assignments for this qualification, so all being well I will have finished and qualified. The job I was stressing about? I got the job! A weight has been lifted off my shoulders. … Continue reading All Change!
After my rather gloomy last post, a lot has happened. I am feeling significantly better, no black cloud currently looming, which is helpful because I am feeling the pressure right now! I have my final rather large assignment due a week today and I am already behind schedule. I may have to ask for an … Continue reading Short update
I like tracking things, tracking my time, tracking what I've done, tracking how much I've slept. I like data and I like being able to analyse it... but heck I am awful at it. I think my love of all things trackable stems from my tendency to dive headlong into whatever project I am working … Continue reading Tracking life
Had the last minute meeting today, very useful, gained a lot from it and allayed some of the pressure / anxiety I had been feeling. Things feel a lot more within my control now. I spent the morning preparing for it and read some very interesting articles that will be useful in a future project. … Continue reading Back to reality
After spending the last few days procrastinating (mainly by writing blog posts about everything in my life - apologies for filling your feeds...!), today I refocused and turned it around. I wrote about 1000 words today and have so far created a coherent-ish essay that has some interesting bits in it, rather than my most … Continue reading Refocus
When I say light, what I actually mean is grey, rainy sky but I quite like the rain. It makes everything look so alive in the spring. I decided to photograph things that looked good on the walk, because it almost feels like I bring the calm of the walk back in the pictures, and … Continue reading Emerging into the light
So I ended up with a couple of hours sleep. Better than nothing I guess, but today has been a write off so far. I have done nothing useful other than turn on my computer. I don't think I've even sat down at my desk. Yesterday I tried morning pages, which was pretty useful actually, … Continue reading Unproductive
My essay is done and submitted. I am very glad that mess is over. I have some concerns about how well I've actually answered the question, but hey. There's not a lot I can do now. 12 days until the next 3000 words is due in. Tomorrow I will give myself some time to relax … Continue reading Finished
Unsurprisingly, another blog post about this damn essay. ... Maybe if I didn't blog about it... it would be done? I'm not convinced. Anyway it's still not done. My plan was to stay up until it was finished but instead I have a horrendous sinus headache. Or maybe the beginnings of a migraine? I'm not … Continue reading Unfinished
My unexpected free day did not go as well as it could have done. The essay I am currently writing just seems to be an endless stream of writers block. Rather than the 1000 words I planned to write today, I wrote 300 and deleted another 300 so I am at the same word count … Continue reading Endless
