The hardest part about trying to post at least once or twice a month is that I have to keep track of time. I have been pretty good at remembering what day of the week it is because I still have weekends – that’s when Michel’s home, but the time just flies by and I …

39: Depth Year Update
If there’s one thing I can say about COVID-19, it’s that it has forced me to progress on some of my Depth Year goals. Not quite halfway through the year but I thought it would be a good time for an update. Obviously, there’s a lot bigger and more important stuff happening in the world …
37: A Year Without Dancing
First of all, let me set the record straight: It’s just a catchy title. In this case, a year is an arbitrary and unknown amount of time because who knows? Based on the current evidence though, we’re a long way from being able to enjoy social dancing with our friends again. Social dancing includes all …
33: Mini-Retirement
I’ve been self-isolating for a week and a half now. Last Wednesday, I packed up my computer and brought it home from work with me. I took Thursday off because most of my projects had already stalled out, and then I worked from home on Friday. On Monday, I was laid off. This was not …
32: Social Distancing
Well, it’s all happening. Pearl Jam tour postponed, all swing events on hold for the foreseeable future and everyone is “social distancing”. I won’t bother explaining what that means because you already know and you should be doing it too. I started writing this post a couple of days ago and it already seemed super …
31: Spring Ahead
I woke up this morning to our internet being down. It’s been a bit glitchy lately, so I suspect it will be back soon. This should really be good for my productivity and goal of spending less time surfing social media, but actually it feels more like the apocalypse. There’s a pandemic out there! Toilet …
29: Balboa Saturday
As I’ve mentioned before, I feel a bit ripped off on holiday Mondays because I lose my one dedicated day of self-guided productivity. Not this week. Today I need a day of rest. (If that makes you question why I’m writing a blog post instead of resting, I can assure you that I slept in …
28: Focal Points Follow-Up
Now that January is almost over and the excitement of a new year full of new goals and plans is wearing off, I think it’s a good time to check back on my Fall Focal Points. I did this in October when I was just starting out, which was about 3 months ago now, so …
Week 25: Twelve Days of Vacation
Here we are at the penultimate post of the year, and I really didn’t have a plan for this week. I am now on vacation until the new year, and while I would normally be off today anyway, it still feels glorious. I’m not going to go into great detail about what I’m going to …
Week 24: Slow Balboa
As we head towards the end of the year, every weekend is packed with multiple options for socializing and celebrating. It’s fun in some ways, but I do value my downtime too, so it starts to feel a bit overwhelming to look at my calendar and see so many commitments. This year, we decided it …
