Five Things for Friday (vol. 10)

The last few nights I’ve found myself getting to bed, and realising yet another day has gone by. It feels like from the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to bed, things just zoom by.

I only pause when it’s time to go to sleep, and really, I’m only pausing because I have to. I want to keep doing things, and getting stuff done, and sometimes sleep just feels like a waste of time.

No points for guessing that I had bad sleep this week because I kept going to bed late, whoops.

New mission for next week: slow down, pay attention, and appreciate what time I have.

Anyway, here’s what happened in the last blink-and-you’ll-miss-it week.

1: Still “Running down under”

I renewed my subscription to Run the World this week, a virtual run around Australia.…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 9)

I’m typing this late on Friday night, when I should be in bed, and sleeping.

But… I’m not.

Earlier, I was watching Phil Gore crack 168k in fundraising by running crazy miles. Right now I’m watching the Alex Warren concert being livestreamed on TikTok. It’s a watch party with a friend of mine who lives in Japan.

So, why not get my Five Things for Friday done on time as well?

Ordered my 2027 planner

This morning, my favourite planner in the whole world launched their 2027 edition. If you haven’t heard of my favourite planner before, let me tell you (or you can probably read literally any other post of mine because it feels like I’m always talking about it).…

August Gratitude Day 9: Something to thank myself for

In my last gratitude post, I talked about feeling most content when, amongst other things, I’ve done a few things on a Sunday night to make myself feel “on top of it”. Doing my weekly plan every Sunday night is a fundamental part of that. It’s nice to know what’s coming up and make sure I’m prepared!

Luckily for me, today’s gratitude prompt lined up with my Sunday night planning, so I decided to share my weekly planning process.

Do one small thing that will make your life easier tomorrow.

Planner Layout

To be specific, I use a Saint Belford Curate Daily Planner. It sold out for 2026, and the 2027 versions are being released later this month. So, here’s the link to the 2026 version if you want to take a look.…

Sarcastic planner stickers (because sometimes you just need a rude one)

This week my dog killed a possum.

I know, I know, but I swear it’s relevant to my story.

It was midnight, I was asleep, and suddenly there were grunting and banging sounds outside the bedroom window. I made my husband get up and attempt a rescue mission. He was too late. Not great for the possum, not great for my sleep, not great for the husband who got voluntold at midnight.

This latest episode of shit sleep has been on top of the usual perimenopause sleep chaos, plus a sore shoulder and a dodgy stomach thrown in for fun this week.

Yesterday I was so exhausted I ended up calling it at 10.30am and taking the day off work. In an effort to sleep better last night, I had a magnesium and lavender bath at 6.30pm, chamomile and honey tea (not sure I like that combination, to be honest), and was in bed by 8.…
