Weeknotes 2024-11-08

  • Movember is going strong.
    • Though I’m not sure if I have enough facial heir left for 22 more days. 🙀
  • Been going through Designing your life and I’m a bit stuck on the alternative lives exercise. Envisioning 5 years out is a tough one for me; always has been. When I break it down I don’t really think I even have 1 plan, let along 3.
  • 🐘 Lastly… oof. Glad I live somewhere else.
    • Here in Canada, it’s hard to culturally fight what’s happening. It spills over the border.
    • Though a friend said they were kinda glad that FB turned the news spigot off for us.
    • I’m working on a theory on how it ties back to Orality. I’m leaning towards a characteristic called “Situational over abstract”. You’ll find out more later.

Weeknotes 2024-11-01

  • It’s Movember! As a change junkie, it’s a great time for me to mix things up.
  • It’s also getting close to my b-day, so I tend to review everything I do, why I do it, what I want to do, what I like to do, what I… you get it.
  • Push for communicating at work
    • Started doing weeknotes on our internal sharepoint
    • Asking poignant questions like “What does it take for someone to change your mind?”
    • General poking the bear, up in everyone’s face saying “why aren’t you communicating!”
    • Fearful maybe they just aren’t communicating with me.
  • Getting back to my orality work
  • Spotify made the mistake of filtering my New Releases. I now only get a small, small, set of “handpicked” releases. Have they seen my varied listening habits? Mistake.
    • Hello YouTube music. What? You want to give me 2 Months free? Why ,thank you! I wasn’t sure about trying, but now I definately will.
    • And BTW, I kinda like it.

Weeknotes 2024-10-25

This week I’ve really been digging into all thing Giles Turnbull: Weeknotes, The Agile comms handbook.

So, per agile comms, when in doubt – weeknotes.

I’m hoping to shake off my self censorship and silence. I default to “not saying” lately and I don’t like it. So, try something new, right?

Also, I’ve been thinking a a lot about internal comms this week. Something I feel so passionately work should do something about it and fix. It’s something I’m willing to be fired for. I’ll keep going and pushing and fighting and trying. I’m going to trust that instinct.
