Creative insight of any type — be it business strategy, an ad campaign, or computer code — requires cognitive space to emerge. It doesn’t take much daily activity before original thought is starved of the neuronal nutriments required to grow.
I read this after writing this last night…
Today and tomorrow we have foundation wide PD. Some keynotes and smaller presentations and workshops. To be sure some of it is good and worthwhile but it feels like lots of isn’t. That, in theory, it’s an amazing idea but I just don’t feel it works in practice. Maybe I’m the problem?
But…
In amongst the grumbling there’s always these moments. Whereby, having nothing else to do, people end up talking to each other. Sure, some of it isn’t about work but inevitably it comes back to the thing we have in common.
And the talk is golden.
We have the discussions we wish we could have every day but that we don’t have the time to, because we’re always busy with stuff. And if we go to speak to someone it’s because of something.
We never, just chat.
Ain’t got the time for that.
And we’re poorer for it.

Kids and worry, name a better combo!
Not eating enough!
Tonight though, it was like they’d not eaten for a week!
Then we finished with pancakes for Shrove Tuesday.
Seems like Substack doesn’t like Kill The Newsletter anymore. Are there alternatives? I much prefer reading newletters in NetNewsWire.
Perhaps the amusement park includes as many rides as you like, even if you’re feeling sick or have had quite enough for today.
The thing about included is that it’s free. But the other thing is that you can say no. But it’s included… | Seth’s Blog
Hotel breakfast, or any buffet too.
Also in a similar vein, food the kids don’t eat… I don’t need to eat it, but I frequently do.
noun
the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.
I don’t feel like I’m patient.
But I think that’s because my patience is constantly being challenged. As a teacher and parent of small child sometimes my whole life feels like it’s, at its core, a test of my patience.
And of course, I would say that I fail.
Constantly.
Over and over again.
With my children, with student’s and silently with adults.
I never feel like I never really, properly, recover. For the simple reason that I don’t have the time to. I start running again before I’ve properly recovered my breath.
I exercise, regularly, am pretty good about sleeping and mostly eat ok. These are the things that are sacred. First I make sure I do these things.
And so, I feel like I constantly lose my patience and I beat myself up about and say,
“ I will do better.”
But I can’t because I don’t recover properly before I start again.
And again, and again…

One of my Airpods gave up, or the case did, I don’t know. If I pressed hard it would charge, sometimes and I muddled by but it wasn’t great. When they worked they were amazing to be sure but also expensive to replace.
In addition I was looking at getting a DAP (a iPod basically) but Apple don’t make them anymore. I miss my iPod and wanted something similar because, I tell myself, I would look at my phone less. I like the idea of devices for single purposes. So for a time I fell down that Youtube rabbit hole. But it’s expensive down there and they care a whole lot more than me about audio quality. Long story short I bought a second hand Sony NW-A55, no discontinued.
I got it for a few reasons.
That’s all really. It doesn’t run Android that Sony’s newer DAPs do but propriety software. Which is fine with me, I just want it to do one thing. And it does that.
The downside is the propriety cable that the newer players don’t but I can deal with that. It does do bluetooth but I got some cheap Chi-Fi IEMS(YT link) which I’m also happy with. Though, I have to remember to stop it playing when I take the earpieces out of my ears. As well, I sometimes try and adjust the volume on my iPhone.

Did another week of exercising 5 times. Consistency above everything else.
The most important thing we’ve learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -
Or better still, just don’t install
The idiotic thing at all.

Pretty fun game, anyone else tried it?!
As Heard On Radio Soulwax pt 2 is now on Apple Music. Still remember listening to this at university. Still sounds good.
Just finished Lockwood and Co and really enjoyed it. Sticking the books on the list of things I want to read. Adapted by Joe Cornish, whose Attack The Block (aliens vs London teenagers including John Boyega) was a lot of fun. I have fun memories of the Adam and Joe Show though. 🍿
I have a single resolution this year. Just that one. I will endeavour to complete this task regardless. I won’t avoid it when I’m tired or anxious. When I’m stressed or angry. I will always do it. I can’t not, really. It takes seconds. If I can’t do this then I can’t do anything. But in my head I will remember the converse. I I can do this, I can do anything. So I do this thing so that I can do anything. I have a thousand more resolutions. I pick them up from the ground. I borrow them from friends and family who give them with love. I steal them from strangers whom I silently give thanks to. I do them until they become habit or until I let them fall because they didn’t work. They are not resolutions for the year but for-ever and ever or for just this moment. Both work. I have many, but one that matters.
