My 2018 Resolutions
Read more: My 2018 ResolutionsYep, as you can see from the title of this, this is one of those posts – an overly optimistic goal-setting for the year ahead in the form of New Year’s Resolutions. For the first time in years, I had a pretty good year in 2017 in terms of resolution fulfilling. I finally stopped just…

Happy Holidays
Read more: Happy HolidaysAs I sit here, having watched the traditional Christmas film with my mum (the 1994 Miracle on 34th Street obviously), my mind wandered to what topic I should choose for today’s blog post, the post that I’ve decided will be my final Blogmas post of this year.

Musings | On Feeling Goalless

Bullet Journals | My Rationale & Initial Thoughts
Read more: Bullet Journals | My Rationale & Initial ThoughtsYes folks, you saw that right – I started a bullet journal because I’m just one big cliche. I’d previously half-heartedly tried it in squared notebooks and found it did help my productivity, for as long as I kept up with it.

Life Update 2.0
Read more: Life Update 2.0Well, my friends, I am officially living in Liverpool. I am officially working in Birchwood, meaning I have the delight of a 20-minute busy train journey every morning and evening. Fun! But, hey, standing up for that long and walking 20-ish minutes to/from the station must be doing me some good. As far as moving…
