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 practice my writing.

This is generally focused on the things I’m most interested in at the time. Currently the spotlight is on my running journey though in the recent past I have 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 (recent-ish) 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…

• How to buy land with a pension

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

Thanks
