The title here refers mainly to writing, though it also touches upon other areas of my life. Right now, I’m pissed off. Really pissed off. Truth be told, I have been for a few months now, primarily because of my hideous inactivity in life. I’ve spent pretty much all this calendar year to date doing …

Why 2025 is my year of doing less, but more of what is important
I’m writing this post a few weeks after what was a fantastic Christmas and New Year break, though that came at a price. I overcommitted to things, and whilst most of them were truly amazing, I know I returned to work still feeling like I needed a break. But before I upset anyone close to …
Felt unfulfilled for a long time? Change things – it’s the only way
I can’t be the only person around feeling unfulfilled with life? I’ve written about this previously, yet the feeling remains. Hopefully this won’t be seen as another whiny ‘woe is me’ post – as always, I aim to write these posts with honesty and openness, and this is something which has been bothering me for …
Do you frequently say ‘Isn’t time flying by?’ If you do, you need to stop now! Here’s why and how.
For my own peace of mind, I need to stop focusing on how quickly time is passing (or how it often appears that way). I’ve been doing this more and more over recent years, yet it was only recently that I noticed the negative impact this has on me. It isn’t beneficial for one simple …
Good riddance summer, hello autumn my old friend
I’m conscious this post will divide people but I’m going to plough on regardless… I’ll be glad to see the back of summer, and I’ll welcome autumn and winter with open arms. There. I said it. I naively thought we were in this position 2-3 weeks ago, then the damned Indian summer hit and sent …
If you want to be truly productive, disconnect…
A relatively short post this week as I made a last-minute change of the topic. Regarding the title – if you’re the type of person who isn’t the slightest bit bothered about being productive, and you’re happy relaxing every evening with your phone or tablet in front of you, then this may not be the …
Find the time to do the things you love each day
Last week, I wrote about the importance of doing a little every day to build momentum over time. The post referenced several examples of tasks where there will be benefits from spending just 10 minutes per day on them. Linked to this, I stumbled upon this quote a couple of days ago – a favourite …
Why I’ve suddenly realised I need to go for the smaller option when it comes to food
At the age of 49, I’ve experienced a eureka moment when it comes to food. After half a lifetime of bad habits, I’ve finally realised that it makes much more sense to go for the smaller option where food is concerned. I’ve always had an *ahem* ‘healthy’ appetite and almost always go large when presented …
Why I perform better when I’m up against the clock – time on my hands isn’t good for me
This is a classic example of a problem I have that I believe should be easy to resolve though the reality is quite different. It’s an issue which dates to my secondary school days (a period when I completed something like 6 or 7 English essays in the week before my GCSE deadline, rather than …
A health / weight update – I’m not as fit as I thought I was…
Despite needing to lose weight, I’ve always thought I was relatively fit. I walk quite often. I eat a relatively health diet. I get plenty of fresh air. I just need to work on shedding the excess fat that I’m carrying. However, a couple of things lately have demonstrated to me that I’m not as …
