Apologies for the radio silence over the last few days and the days to come. The flu has swept through our house. šŸ¤’

I’m hoping to return back to normal blogging service next week.

Happy new year to everyone! I’m slightly befuddled by a little too much eat and drink but it’s been a great start to the year with the family.

Mind mapping again

It’s been a while since I last did any mind mapping—a few years, in fact. I’ve probably doodled a few smaller mind maps in that time, but this is the first time that I have done anything more than a doodle.

The two-page spread of my notebook works quite well for it, and the paper is thick enough to cope with most of my markers, so there’s little chance of it bleeding through.

I can see myself doing more of this in the months ahead.

Mind map to curated list to final plan.

It took an hour to do but I’ve managed to outline 12 blog posts for 2020 that I’ll publish at my main home page. These will be longer posts than I publish here at Micro.blog.

I’m not back to work until the 6th of January but I’ve got some marketing work to do tomorrow for my side product. Not my favourite aspect of building a product but an absolute necessity in this case.

Merry Christmas!

Well, Christmas Day is almost over in the Lang household. My parents have just left for the night, and I have to say they loved their Christmas lunch and the evening’s entertainment.

It’s not over, so I can still send season greetings to my little blog’s readers.

So, Merry Christmas to you all, and I wish you all a great day.

I’m halfway through James Clear’s Atomic Habits now. So many great examples in this book. I’ve found chapter 17 on tracking habits to be particularly helpful.
