Sorry…

Sorry about the lack of posting recently. I’ve been having some family issues which have left me preoccupied and unable to think of things to write. It’s nothing too serious but it’s something that is hard to ignore which makes it hard to sit down and write a coherent blog post. Expect me back sometime [...]

Study… aragh! And a question for the readers.

My exam timetable was released this morning and logging on I see that I’ve got what amounts to a pretty rotten one. I’ve got one exam on the Wednesday in the first week of the exam period, another on the Thursday and then my last one is two weeks after that! Horrible! Having all three [...]

Comments

Hi, I just wanted to make a quick post about comments. It’s great to see people getting involved on this site because me rambling on about what works for me isn’t any where near as interesting as a whole bunch of people talking about what works for them. I read all comments which are posted [...]

Howdy!

A big hello to all those who’ve stopped by from lifehacker. Almost had a heart attack when I checked the stats page and realised that over 4,000 people read what I wrote!! Hope at least a few of you find the site useful and stick around to read more.

Inbox Thoughts

I posted earlier this week about a new GTD program called Inbox (link). I’ve had a play with it and here are some of my thoughts on what is a very promising program.
When I first opened Inbox what jumped out at me was the clear and uncluttered display. The second thing was that it is [...]

My System

I’ve said before that I find it much easier to look at the organisational systems of others and adapt them to my own life than I do to read about various theories. This is a brief outline of my own personal system in the hope it helps someone.
There are three main tools I use to [...]

The big picture

I’ve been hearing a lot about goals recently – finding one, keeping one, making it workable and working towards it – but I’ve never really been that interested. I’m only 20 and since I don’t want to be a member of parliament, Prime Minister, partner in a law firm by the time I’m 35 or [...]

How to wake up alert

Waking up refreshed and alert is a great way to start any day and it really helps to get a day full of classes and study started. I find that the longer it takes to wake up the worse I feel for the next few hours.
I remember reading this article about practising getting up when [...]

No one loves me… :(

Was a bit disapointed that no one wanted to write a comment but that’s ok. I’ll just take it to mean that all my readers love what I write and wouldn’t change it for anything! None the less, if you do feel like writing a comment I would really appreciated.
Now, on with the show!

Things To Do in Boring Lectures

It’s often hard in boring lectures to keep focused. Often focus is required but impossible to produce and other times the lecture is legitimately boring and the topic such that you can drift in and out and not miss anything important. I would like to say that I always pay attention in my lectures but [...]
