What I’m Doing Now

This is a Now page. The idea comes from one of my favourite writers and thinkers, Derek Sivers, and it answers the question “What are you doing right now?”

I tend to use my Now page to share an informal update on what I have been doing over the past month. It’s a blend of personal and professional; I hope you enjoy reading it.

🛠️ What Am I Doing?

June has been—weirdly—both quiet and busy. I have been going through the process of placing my business on pause for two years, which has taken some work, and I have also been mentally preparing to start my new role (for which I have given myself time and space to rest).

At the time of writing, I started my new role this week, and so far, so good.

And don’t get me started on the heatwave. I don’t like to moan… but… it is fair to say I am not designed for heat!

📺 What Am I Watching?

I am currently watching a series on Amazon Prime called Steal, and it is gripping. I am also just about to finish season 5 of The Bear (which is also very good).

My film project continues, and I am pleased to report that I have now watched The Godfather 1 and 2 (I loved them both).

🧠 What Am I Learning?

I’ve been exploring ways to improve my handwriting and am considering learning proper cursive, as I really cannot remember doing it at school. I have also been tempted to try spoon carving (whittling).

🎧 What Am I Listening to?

I’m going through TM Logan’s back catalogue of audiobooks, and they are brilliant (see library below for specific books). Podcast-wise, I have not tried any new shows lately, so I am listening to old favourites: The Rest is Entertainment, Deep Questions, The Book Club, Women’s Running, Age Better with Liz Earle, and Zoe Science and Nutrition.
