Week Seven
Half term in sunny South Wales this week so I’ve taken some time to wind down and chill out with the small Floyds.
I had planned on getting through an ever growing reading list, but in the end decided my brain would be better off switching off from it all for a few days.
The reading list
Good read on goal setting and learning how to learn – https://journal.thriveglobal.com/if-you-dont-believe-in-setting-goals-it-s-because-you-don-t-know-how-to-do-it-96e7dbacca6d?source=linkShare-92a938cec3dd-1509364402

Running
Been wondering aloud why I started capturing this information on my weeknotes and have come to the conclusion that it’s a safe way for me to practice something I’d read.
Now we all know that setting yourself objectives is a good thing, helps focus the mind, but I recall reading that writing them down increases you chances of achieving them and sharing those increases it further. So, given this is currently my only channel for recoding things, which doubles up as a sharing platform, for now I’ll keep recording my aspirations and actual here.
This week I set a target of 15k and achieved 18k.
In the interest of setting targets and getting them out there, next week I’m aiming for 18k. I’ll report back in 7 days.
