Not that I think anyone missed me but a check in to say multiple professional social media accounts have become too much and for a variety of reasons, LinkedIn is a better solution (even if it gives me the boak), so if you have missed me, please find me there.

I read this and enjoyed it and then I read a review that said it's designed to be read twice (it's 47 pages) and it's true and was even better the second time.

Agree. I dislike how people use an overflowing inbox as an excuse to avoid responding to reasonable work requests. A lot of work is still conducted over email.
I know everyone loves a good protest against overcrowded inboxes, but if I receive an out of office that actually says "I'll delete all my emails", unless it's parental leave or a similarly long period, I just won't be resending my email to you, sorry. Your inbox is yours to manage, not mine!

So…there’s, like, a whole area of motivation research about how motivation doesn’t necessarily need to come from interest (e.g., productive, autonomous extrinsic motivation, how to productively regulate one’s motivation, etc.). It’s not a new thing, either. selfdeterminationtheory.org/theory/

First Murakami novel, he is a bit weird isn't he. I thought it was excellent but also it took me longer to read than it should given the length so it gets docked a star for not compelling me to read.

Always impressive to read an educational RCT and I'm immediately interested in anything that frames lecture attendance through a lens of self-regulation rather than punitive attendance policies or removing recordings.

I am very glad I discovered Diablo after I got promoted because I looked up and I had been playing for 4 hours this morning.

At the last UK election I went back-and-forth about whether to vote Labour, I didn't want to risk waking up to a Tory government knowing I'd contributed. But I couldn't stomach the warning signs on LGBTQ rights and voted SNP and the only good thing is knowing I am not responsible for this hellscape.

Planned a munro today but my wife woke up a bit run down but I was in the "I need to see mountains again Gandalf" zone, so with wifely blessing (I didn't just abandon her), I took myself up a couple of Corbetts, The Brack and Cnoc Còinnich. An almost scramble ascent in places and then pathless bits.
