Day-to-Day

These are my current in-flight or about-to-start personal little projects:

• This blog (in progress) — I’ve been successfully maintaining this blog for over 3 months now, so I guess it ought to be reclassified as a “hobby” rather than a project by now ☺️

• 14-day uniform (in progress) — I’m rebooting my wardrobe for autumn, adding a few more muted colours to the mainly black pieces I’m wearing now, while keeping quantities down and keeping things relaxed and very casual.

• Lose weight (to do) — Due to some comfort eating, I’ve put on a few kilos and am getting close to 25 in BMI. Time to bring it back down to 23! It always used to be easy for me to lose weight — I’d just skip biscuits for a while — but it’s getting harder and harder these days, so this time it will no doubt take a bit more effort and dedication.

• Create the perfect toolbox (to do) — Good tools make everything a lot easier, so when we finally move into our new apartment, I want to do so equipped with a new toolbox filled with good versions of all the tools I need.

• EDC reboot (to do) — I keep carrying my old, almost empty backpack around every day, as my umbrella won’t fit in my small bag. I want to get a sling bag just big enough to fit a brolly and an iPad, like the Aer Day Sling Max, and then curate a few more bits and bobs to go in it.

• Figure out my career path (in progress) — I’m in a good job with a good employer and have no plan going anywhere, but nevertheless, I need to keep an eye on my future employability. The kind of roles I used to do seem to have all but disappeared, so I need to make sure I build towards something that’s a bit more sought after these days.

I might be a bit old-fashioned, but I quite like McDonald’s.

Having to rely on public transport rather than walking does have a visible impact on my budget, but not as much as I worried in terms of my daily step count.
