Writing a scary book. Making a bookish website. Baby trail runner. Gym hamster. Once made a board game about puns.
A mixture of dedication, commitment, and insanity? Throw in a secret lanuguage shrouded in layers of meaning built over years.
It must be love.
Or the Barkely Marathons.
A valentines edition is quite apt.

It's so important in life to use habit stacking to prioritise your time in service of your goals.
For instance, today I'm going to hang out with a friend WHILE buying books I don't need at a big library sale.
Time - optimised.
Goals - unfathomable.
Habits - stacked.

I've entirely given up on separating work brain from writing brain and have started referring to marketing events as inciting incidents.

We think of incubator spaces as existing to benefit businesses, but I'm coming to realise their real purpose is to stop people annoying their friends cause they won't shut up about their latest business brainwave.

It's amazing how being sick inspires the dumbest mental spirals. Yesterday I started panicking cause I didn't have enough users on my website.
Y'know, the site I'm still making, haven't launched, and have only told some friends the name of so they can test it. That one. Not enough users. 🫠

Little known fact: being house-bound while sick is named after the act of binge watching medical dramas while being a medical drama.
Of course House is the traditional choice but Scrubs, Greys Anatomy etc are all acceptable options.

Turns out the secret to heating my living room lay not in new radiators but in covering the massive hole in the wall at the floor masquerading as a vent.
I'm sure this could be a metaphor for tech or society or something but who cares! The custom above-floor foot-breeze is gone. Success!

Doing this evening course has really reminded me of the general populations' computer skills. If you're online a lot or work in tech it's easy to assume the general level is higher than it is.

There's an American lady on Insta/TikTok that has been posting funny, adorable updates about her long-distance relationship with an Irish guy for the last year or so. She just posted that it's over because he cheated.
I genuinely think Failte Ireland might have him killed.

If there's one thing I've learned from my book website project it's that thrillers are the most popular form of book.
Ok ok it's a small sample size, but based on 5 Irish bookshops, 1/5th of all preorders announced are Thrillers. Which is a lot.
