Monday 12th January - More small changes

 I downloaded this title onto my kindle near the end of last year, after looking at a sample.



I've resisted reading ahead, as I intend to consider just one tiny change per week. I have actioned the first two suggestions; firstly muting notifications on my tablet and phone, and secondly unsubscribing from advertising emails that I'm not interested in, or for newsletters that just clutter up my inbox, as they come in.

I suspect I'm just paying for a list of obvious suggestions, but I do enjoy a book full of quotations and encouragement!





That's something to consider...

I'm exchanging far too much of my life for reading my Internet  newsfeed for sure. I now try and catch myself before I start, or say in my mind exactly what I am planning to look up or do on my phone before I pick it up. 

It's slightly working. Very early days yet!

The aim is to try and improve my concentration and reduce the amount of flibber-jibber and distraction going on in my head!


Grieg; Puck from Lyric Pieces

and Butterfly, also from Lyric Pieces

  1. I haven't heard Butterfly for decades, since a music student I knew was practicing it. It's a lovely piece.

  2. Oh that is interesting.
    I keep thinking about unsubscribing about things, but ultimately forget about it lol

    1. That's where the suggestion to do it as you go along was so helpful. 👌

  3. The only notifications which are NOT muted on my phone are the immediate family This works fine for me.

  4. I don't carry my 'phone with me unless I'm going out, so often miss notifications.

    1. I will... although I don't want to post the whole book, that would be mean!
