The 'gram

The first teacher’s strike of the year has been and gone, but more are on the way. Regardless of your thoughts on them, it is so important for workers to have their voices heard. And for a teacher’s strike, no voice is more important than a teacher’s. It’s been a while. Here’s where I’ve been, where I’m going, and why breaking up with your habits every once in a while isn’t as scary as you think it might be. My own productivity app system is still evolving and changing, but I think that it’s got to a point where it’s now effective enough to share with the world. These are the (free!) apps that I use in my ultimate productivity system. This is my simple, five-step, routine to building a super relaxed night-time routine that’ll make you feel healthy and at-peace before going to bed. ⁠ Having a decent routine that you do every single morning can go miles in the right direction to getting your head wrapped around whatever’s on your to-do list. Here’s my 5-step routine to a healthier morning.⁠ I had a wonderful time this year, and I’m excited to see what unfolds in 2023. Here are my three highlights of 2022.

If you’re buying for the productive people in your life, then look no further: I’ve got the 19 perfect gifts just for you. Taking a break from anything is so important to our mental wellbeing, our productivity, and to our ability to prioritise. Here's why you need to take a break (like, right now).⁠
