New dawn
Excuse the corny title but the sunrises this past couple of days have been inspiring… I’ve managed to get back into morning walk routine and with the days slightly shorted 6:30 is pretty stunning on the north coast. I also completed a full week of daily training, often with the kids joining in and allContinue reading “New dawn”
Anyone missing lockdown?
So…3 months of morning swims, days with kids, evening work sprints, fitting in some level home improvement, with the rest waste time results in a tired out me… I need a full R&R… or can I manage to gently swing the pendulum to midpoint?? Does that balance exist… even over period of a week. It’sContinue reading “Anyone missing lockdown?”
If you let people go first, it’ll take less time
Heard this quote this morning on a Podcast with Chris Voss and feel is applicable in so many threads of life. In many work engagements I naturally take this stance…but in today’s non-ideal environments, it’s a fine line between active listening as a strong leader or appearing to have nothing valuable to contribute.

Self Improvement …not for me; focused on unlearning bad habits

What willContinue reading “Self Improvement …not for me; focused on unlearning bad habits”
Keeping it between the lines == being prepared?
This past week at home and work, has emphasised not only how much the kids benefit from routine but how much I need it, and that good prep makes it possible to stick to it. I’ve always like to think of myself as someone who can go with the flow & these days of peelingContinue reading “Keeping it between the lines == being prepared?”
Live time or Dead time…..
Live time or Dead time….. Never before or probably never again will I have the opportunity to better myself without distraction. I have the time. I have the people and for the most part I have all the resources I need….so there are few excuses that can’t be pushed aside to ensure that I maximiseContinue reading “Live time or Dead time…..”
Right now is not time to teach…
Let me add a little context to that bold statement 🙂 This week’s been one of the most challenging with respect to the kids, and my mantra should more consistently have been …”Right now is not time to teach” – specifically whenever one has decided that the best form of entertainment is winding up another.Continue reading “Right now is not time to teach…”
Why start blogging now…
So…I have never considered myself a writer…which is a fair assessment in my rough 38 years of writing experience…but figure to improve I must practice. I’ve heard the saying perfect practice makes progress – so the outlook, unfortunately, is not great. I’ve been keeping a general journal now for over a year on paper andContinue reading “Why start blogging now…”
