Long Nights

Hockey Players in commercials are usually a recipe for some shenanigans. Joe Thornton and P.K. Subban did not disappoint. Check out the latest Apple iPhone 14 commercial that debuted in Canada during the Super Bowl.

What I'm listening to...February 2023 edition

I’ve been meaning to put out some posts on what I’m listening to and enjoying. Some of these have been in the queue for a while so they are a bit dated. Some are very recent. Sit back, take a listen and enjoy something that maybe you haven’t seen or heard.

What are you listening to?

Sabbaticals

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while and I think its only fitting the starting off the new year and looking at getting “back into work” that we start thinking about our next time off.

What?

Yes, you are working to live, not living to work! Remember that.

Part of the problem

Admittedly, I’m terrible at taking time off. As in, horrible at it. There are several reasons for this. I’m a workaholic and its something I’m trying to get better at. But also, there is a part of me, that has a child that can throw some health issue wrenches your way at the drop of a hat and put you in the hospital. Having a “bank” of days to rely on, even when the company would bend over backwards to make it work with sick days and family sick days, and every other internet company benefit you can think of… I’m from a broken system in my early years and its hard to get out of that mental thought process. I’m part of the problem here!

2023 - Year of Structure

The Theme System

In case you have missed it in the past, I’ve decided to switch from the usual goals for a year to a theme. Sure there are some measurement or ideas on where I would like something to go. But this is more about making choices and having some momentum towards a certain change in my life that I’d like to make. If you would like more on setting a theme for a year or season, I suggest you check out The Theme System or watch this quick video from their page:
