4 June 2021

Why yes, I did forget to put sunscreen on my shins.

What did I learn?

If you’re on leave for three days, the amount of work you can do in the remainder of the week is really small 😅

You can leave it 14 months since your last train journey to London and Greater Anglia will severely disappoint you within the first five minutes of re-engaging with their service.

The newly-minted line managers I look after at dxw are doing a sterling job. They’re taking the role very seriously, being studious, and demonstrating genuine care for their direct reports 💛

What did I change?

I’ve started to use Reclaim to automagically organise my calendar. So far my reckon is that it’s 75% useful, 25% annoying.

After months of only exercising in the evening, I’ve squeezed a couple of morning sessions into the week and it definitely helps set the tone for the day.

How did I feel?

Like my feet didn’t touch the ground much. And warm. Very warm ☀️
