Something I'm working on is recognising the ebbs and flows of my day. We can't be high-energy all action and in our power all day. But we can still be productive all day. What I mean is recognising the ways we can be productive depending on our energy levels. Tuning in and tending to the… Continue reading Types of productivity – it’s all valid

Treat your life like a video game
I was thinking the other day about how our lives are like a video game! Let's see what I mean... Pay attention to the health bar In video games, there is a health bar usually at the top which allows you to see how your character's health is doing. That drops into the red, and… Continue reading Treat your life like a video game
I was wrong
What I wrote on my blog two years ago is probably wrong. Some of it. Maybe a lot of it! What I’m saying this year could be wrong two years from now. Or tomorrow! The point is, I’m wrong. And so are you. I hate this because I like getting things right. I like being… Continue reading I was wrong
A rant about progress
Why do we only care about progression on a large scale? Or drastic change? Or material gain? Having left my job to work in the school next door, I felt like I had to work hard to explain why I moved.

Stop for a moment. You’ve arrived at this post for a reason. I’m here to tell you a secret: You do not exist to produce and create.
