Week Notes – Aug 11 to Aug 17 2026
- ✒️ I've been consistent with both my personal and work Bullet Journals. I'm enjoying the experience! I'm drafting a post about it to be published soon.
- 📕 I'm so glad that I finished reading The Expanse series with “Leviathan Falls”! I read the first book in 2012 (I can't believe it's been 12 years! 😱). Time is an illusion. It's definitely one of my favorites series of all time. I want to read some of the short stories/novellas now.
- 📘 I've also finished “Platform Decay” (The Murderbot Diaries #8). This is also a cool series that I started reading back in 2018. I haven't watched the new TV series yet, but I plan to someday.
- 💼 Work has been crazy busy and it really sucks most of my energy during the day. But I feel I'm managing my energy the best I can and doing my daily shutdown routine has been key to leave work behind and relax.
- ☀️ I noticed I've been skipping my morning yoga routine in exchange for quick light stretching. Stretching is great, and it is my daily “minimum viable exercise”, if that makes sense. But because I've going less to the gym during Summer, I've not been doing too much strengthening and my knees start to complain. My goal this week is to get back to my 20min morning yoga routine.
- 👟 Running and walking have been consistent enough, I can't complain!
- 🧩 I've been having fun with Murdoku!
- 📅 I got an erasable magnetic monthly planner for our fridge to help my partner and me to plan ahead. My partner barely keeps a digital calendar (he is not great at checking his calendar) so he always asks me about future plans, so now we have a place to share this information in a more visible way.
