After a trip away and suddenly remembering ‘Hey, I still haven’t had my homemade diary printed’ I finally sent it off to Officeworks via their online submission tool yesterday afternoon.
‘No worries, it’ll be ready to go in five days’ an email soon explained.
And then two hours later apparently it was all said and done and ready to be picked up… Well okay then!
It’s always the way isn’t it? You’re sitting at your desk, ready for a bolt of inspiration to hit and jolt you right out of your socks. Only it doesn’t come and soon enough you’re waylaid by those stupid Facebook reels, the ones that show you how to fix a problem you’re never going to have (why oh why have I watched so many of these stupid things??).
If that’s the case, get out. No not off this site, I mean take a long break. Because I’ve done just that and come back full of big ideas.*
Happy new year! Well almost..
In 2023 I’ve got three things I’m planning to focus on. Healthy, wealthy and wise? Well kind of – more healthy, wealthy and more read across the year..
I’m a big fan of having a diary planner and just writing things down full stop – I’ve tried work diary planner apps on my Samsung and ended up using them about 10% of the time (before promptly forgetting I have them.) Actual physical diary planner books seem to sync with me so much the better, because I remember to actually scrawl into them about 90% of the time (the other 10% is due to me misplacing it somewhere.)
But next year (2023) I’m going to go a little different – with a printable diary planner instead, fine tuned to my needs. Who doesn’t like trying new things? And who doesn’t like something custom built to their specifications?
I’m forever kicking myself here – coming across a copy of Heroquest the original board game in an op show for the ludicrously amazing price of $3 and passing on it.
Yes I went back a couple of days later after some long thought on why I should grab it and of course it was gone.
I would have loved to paint up all the pieces once again but more than anything, I would’ve loved a copy of just the board itself because that was just about all that was left of my original copy and that board went through quite a lot of miniature related adventures in its time..
I mean I could buy the fairly new 2021 version of course..
This week has been a great reminder for me on how a change of plans can sometimes happen instantly or has been something a few years in the making. Either way, you can’t dwell on things too much for too long..
Zuck, you look a little tired and after your plan to metavise the planet went south, a little stressed too. I feel you need a vacation and to leave things in capable hands – namely someone like me! I’ve been around since ninjas fought pirates and you could poke people randomly so if anyone could look after the Facebook shop, I feel I could. So off you go, I’ve got this.
Oh and don’t be suprised by my new rules for Facebook when you get back..
