The word that sums up this week is: sweat: lots of physical work around the house, but felt good to do. A top moment for me was a BBQ 🌭 at my brother and sister-in-law’s. I struggle to think of what to look forward to this week: I am back to work properly after almost two weeks off (I was back Thur & Fri though). Maybe just getting through the week!
My week headlines
🧠 Understanding: A bit about Zettelkasten for potential use at work. I don’t think I’ll use it as it seems a bit more focused on building ideas than dealing with work stuff for me, but I’ll take some principles and move a little more into analog archived notes.
🧶 Creating & cultivating: Shelves. A lot of shelves. And moving gravel around .
📺 Consuming: The Dragon Reborn 📖, now finished thanks to train commutes this week. Cocktails with my brother 🍹.
🔆 Connecting: Seeing a few in-laws this week at different times. Church picnic was nice ☀️🥏.
✒️ Pen & ink combo: Pilot capless and 🟦 Sailor Shikiori.
🏹 One thing for future self: I really need to rekindle my work spin-down routines. I know I say that a lot…
