Mar 5Weeknotes 20th Feb to 3rd March: Retros, Reviewing and ReflectionsI read a medium article on how to write weeknotes in 30 minutes.

Interesting things that happened over the last two…Weeknotes4 min readWeeknotes4 min read
Feb 19Weeknotes 13th — 17th Feb: Onwards and upwardsThis week has been tough on a few fronts. I don’t normally like to start these posts with something negative, but it wouldn’t be very authentic if I didn’t, given the week. Naturally it would feel easier to move on and not say anything at all, but with my commitment…5 min read5 min read

Jan 8Getting back into #WeeknotesIn 2021 I began writing Weeknotes as a ways to become more comfortable with writing. It worked, but I decided to take a pause for various reasons including job changes, centring wellbeing and of course — that pandemic.

Mar 28, 2021Biweekly notes: 28th March 2021I normally love the last two weeks of March. Noticing the gentle move towards lighter evenings. The blossom appearing.

Difficult to pinpoint exactly why…Weeknotes2 min readWeeknotes2 min read
