Cutting back/improving capacity (in all aspects)

Hahah not that good!

Seriously though I find Australia (Melbourne) in the middle - not as crazy as some Asian cities but not as good as say Japan or from what I've heard parts of Europe for cycling for practical purposes.

 

This one resonates big time with me atm - I just can't be bothered trying to bolster, alter mind frames or try and educate anymore - the social (and social media) circle shrinks yet again - if only I could do the same with some family

I do like to have a "big square" calendar on my desk - no fancy pictures here thanks - so I can see the whole month at a glance, and I write everything down on it, so no having to "open" apps and flick through page after page (while squinting at the screen).

Meals are basic - a shake drink for lunch - yogurt and fresh fruit for breakfast ... and then whatever falls out of the fridge after two wines for dinner. I personally would just roast up some veges or a homemade pizza or egg on toast or something really simple ... but the rest of the fam wants something a little more innovative

 

arrrghhh

Eat your veggies!

One thing we did around four years ago was make sheets for updating our financial records . With close to 30 properties , multiple mortgages , accounts and entities it’s easy to loose track of things and overlook something .

Inorder to break it down to more manageable bites we have four sheets for different dates of the month with Every task documented and an adjacent tick box .

works well for us

Is the next birthday gift for each going to be a cook book?

 

Junior can cook but can't be bothered ... hubby can be bothered but can't cook to save his life (or mine!)

 

You never friended me...??!!??

 

Podcasts sound excellent.

My daughter bought me a Goal setting diary this year. Each week and month it asks you about your goals, achievements, etc. I failed at using it for about 10 months but it has motivated me to write down everything important to me in it for reference rather than having 50 sheets of scrap paper that I lose than have to research or re-write.

I currently do a bit of propagation and growing Plants from seed and usually have around 350 pot plants. I sell a few. I enjoy it but it’s starting to be a lot of work and using a lot of my energy. It’s also becoming a bit mentally draining as there is always work to do. I’ve sold about 20 in December, about 40 are going to my daughters new home after summer, and I’ll be selling about 40 more over the next couple of months. I’ll be keeping 200 plants for hopefully future income.

2020: I’d like to work on higher income through property development and selling last property with no development potential. I want more energy to achieve this.

Edit- I just witnessed a small ****** cutting of variegated Swiss Cheese Vine sell for $2000 at auction. Rare plants are going to be my keepers!

 

Best thing I have learned over the years is that the brain is great for straregising, generating ideas, inspiration etc, but is terrible at being a filing system/date planner/in-tray.

I constantly try to take any tasks, to-do lists, calendar reminders etc out of my head and capture elsewhere. I use Outlook as a scheduling tool and spreadsheet(s) as to-do lists.

 

The brain is also hopeless for following thru and making things happen ... mine is anyhow. Comes up with amazing ideas, concepts and opportunities ... and then ...

 

But I get paid for those useless meetings. Over the course of a year I probably earn 20k sitting in a chair off with the fairies.
Heck I’ve even snuck in a few sleeps when it’s a phone conference

I have been on facebook since its inception and still is, but I removed my 900+ friends leaving 2 because I have no choice. Reasons? Spam and too much whinging on facebook. You don't see it you don't think about it.

 

Haha nah I play Marvel Puzzle Quest. Same game style but with the fun of Marvel.
If it weren’t for meetings I would still be level 5.
