The word that sums up this week is: grind. Long work days 😭trying to hand things over before a week and a few days off on leave (sorely needed!). I also had to fit in a few unusual things: writing a goodbye statement for a junior team member and chewing out another for behaviour.
A top moment for me was finishing on Friday, to be honest. though I did enjoy sanding and oiling a new coffee table 🪛. Something I’m looking forward to next week is being somewhere else!
My week headlines
🧠 Understanding: All about Bear Blogs. Was enough to tempt me to switch over! So easy and low maintenance for me. Learning (through doing) about having tough conversations with reports.
🧶 Creating & cultivating: Tiling in our downstairs WC: learning how to tile so I can avoid messing up in a more important room! Loved making a coffee table with a bit of kitchen worktop offcut 🪚.
📺 Consuming: To be honest, I felt like I was the one consumed this week. I reckon I worked an extra day during the five. My ‘one thing’ below reflects this 😳
🔆 Connecting: Team lunch was great, also meeting my dad for lunch mid-week.
✒️ Pen & ink combo: TWSBI Vac 700 with 🟧 Sailor Ink Studio 473.
🏹 One thing for future self: I need to revisit my downloaded and half-read articles on good work routines and boundaries.
