Thoughts & Tips For October 2018
Monday, October 01, 2018
Things are slowly getting better. The Pilates classes I have been taking are really making a difference. My core is really getting stronger. I did pretty well on my 2nd Sprint Triathlon beating my expected time by a couple of minutes:
Technology
I finally broke down and got some Bluetooth workout/running/gym headphones. I think I picked these because of the price, they were from Anker which I think has good Q&A, and the overall reviews.
Thankful For
This past September had a lot to be thankful for.
My friend Mark Horstman from Manager Tools was in San Diego teaching a group of leaders at my work how to do Better Interviewing. I highly recommend this training:
I got to see my favorite band Chvrches with my family. My daughter and I were in the front row with my friend Bruce from Texas. It was a very memorable show:
Also the opening band was Lo Moon and they are awesome:
My niece's wedding was also wonderful:
And my last training class for Getting Things Done (GTD) at work in FY2018 was great. It is awesome to be able to help others better manage their lives in a productive and effective way:
Future
I have a couple of work related trips that should be very interesting and I am planning to learn a lot at them.
Another great musician - Maggie Rogers -- and her opening band Mallrat are coming to San Diego in September and I'm so looking forward to seeing them live.
Tips
Do you have a Roomba that is running slow because of old batteries? This was out situation over the summer. I'd charge the Roomba and then it would only be able to do half the room before needing to be recharged. I got this battery replacement and it is like we have a new Roomba.
I have probably said this before, but 3x5 cards seem to be the best possible note taking solution for me. I recently bought some cards that were "not the cheapest" and had some thickness to them. The newer cards are very nice to write on and because they are firm and solid, more enjoyable to use.
