I've determined that 6am workout classes are the way to prioritize and fit in exercise. As a result, I've discovered that there's something quite depressing about oversleeping and thinking "because I did not get up at 5:30 I am not going to fit in everything I want to do today". But on Monday I made it, ...
Mid- way through June, I paused, and wondered - why was I focusing on little things during a month of big things? I hope that end-of-May-Cate realized that this was something that June-Cate would need to stay sane. This month's focus gave me permission to make time for small, unimportant (but important to me), things ...
This time last year, I made a list of what I wanted to happen in 2010. The goals I set were helpful and I met (or nearly met) most of them but next year everything is changing - I don't know what goals I should be setting. How do I set professional goals for a ...
I'm not doing my weekly review at the moment. At first it was in part because I was ashamed to admit that I hadn't yet unpacked my apartment (it's done now). But also, I showed up to the coffee shop to work with my mentee and something exciting had happened to her, and she said, ...
I saw in 2009 with my boyfriend. It was just the two of us. We were just moving in together "officially" (yes, I had been in Canada a really short amount of time for that to happen - long story) and we were sorting out the apartment. We drank some champagne and went swimming. It ...

Goals for this week were: Finish putting together presentation, record and upload it. See it here. Put together loop exercises for extra session with my DGD group. Start CA Assignment 3 (this one will apparently be shorter) – aim for half done. Marking. Read 5 papers. Join gym (physio says yoga and body pump allowed – finally!!) attended a body pump ...
Last week, and at the start of this week I was feeling really worn out and disillusioned. Things were taking longer than they should, and despite working a lot and effectively I really wasn't making the progress I wanted to be. I felt like I wasn't achieving anything. What this really means, is that on ...
For last week: Finish CA Assignment 2 Read 5 papers Code more on Viz Write more on Thesis Get SVN working fully More on website Clear giant e-mail mountain Start tracking morning mood and exercise on Mycrocosm Go to my first hockey game! Also: Cleaned out fridge Swam butterfly again for the first time since I injured my knee (super happy about this!) Spent a lot of time ...
I wonder about this advice. Are there enough scary things out there? Would you not spend so much time scaring yourself that the necessary, but non-scary things, would get left behind? Perhaps I shouldn't be taking it literally. Maybe, it means... push yourself - harder. Aim - higher. Dream. Aspire. Create. Achieve more than you knew you were ...
