Now

Update – June 21, 2023

Two years later. A lot has transpired over that time!

Chose to update the format of the now page. Having the historical record may prove interesting eventually, though I may keep the record but only show the most up to date on this page.

My collection of thoughts, reflections, notes, books continues to grow. Lots in the draft folder, but – completion. Therein lies the rub. I am thinking to start using ChatGPT to help create summaries for concepts, books and the like, in order to help speed of the timeline of threshing content out. I will note the pages where I am using that to create the content. Reflections will still be solely my writings.

Update – February 7, 2021

Well, here we are a year later.

I really didn’t make as much progress as I would have liked with this website or my writing pursuits since the last update. Still working on getting everything added into the site – books, blogs, videos etc. Even more of a backlog now – so many drafts, so many even to get to that stage. I find I either write something to about 70% – I can get a somewhat reasonable rough draft together, but then bringing it from 70 to 100% inspires my most extreme perfectionist-self and therefore ends up taking 10x as long.

I am also starting the year with a few items to get caught up on. I have scaled back my board work and tabled some initiatives as just ideas for now. There has been less time for other endeavours, as my wife and I were blessed with a third healthy child in September, and our other two have been schooling from home during the pandemic.

This has created its fair share of stress, but I am looking forward to 2021 bringing many good things. There is no shortage of things going on at work, but I am aiming to increase my proficiency at focusing in 2021, to be able to accomplish more tangible output, while still maintaining a healthy emotional space for my children and family to grow in.
