The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now – Chinese Proverb
Hi, I’m Bealers.
I use this space to write about what interests me and to share what I learn.
At time of writing (Oct 2018) this blog is unloved and needs updating to better reflect where I am in my life (spoiler: generally a very good place). I am actively working on this but in the meantime you might want to check out my Instagram feed.
In the past the spotlight was on my running journey and prior to that I also shared my thoughts on productivity, self-improvement, stress reduction, or my favourite productivity tool, OneNote.
Below I’ve collated some of my more popular posts grouped into sections for convenience.
Mental health, positive thinking and mindfulness
All subjects very close to my heart.
In this busy world it can be easy to lose perspective. I argue that we could all consider learning how to:
- change the internal narrative
- think positively & be kind to yourself
- enjoy the ride
- avoid comparisons
Good diet & healthy living
News just in: a good diet & some sort of exercise regime is hugely important.
- how to like veg (I used to hate the stuff)
- meals that give me superpowers
- why I love running
Productivity systems
To keep sane I use my own A.D.D. friendly OneNote based system which incorporates parts of popular systems like GTD, ZTD, Pomodoro as well as aspects of many more obscure ones. Here I’ve detailed parts of this home-spun system:
- strong morning routine (this is quite long)
- week planning (essential reading)
- my OneNote workflows (video, 25 mins)
Feeling overwhelmed?
- Crisis mode productivity system (includes worksheet)
Doing means working
We all know this, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.
- Sometimes you simply have to turn up
And completely randomly…
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
Thanks
