Coffee Machine Music



A special attention to the musicality of the sounds around me, or just another great procrastination opportunity?

Lists, part 2

Imagem
Yesterday I published a list of the things done since I'm in Holland . Once the list was in front of my eyes, I noticed how much I had left out of it! I also noticed how much some of the entries weren't written in the best of ways! For example: - " Learn Ducth " - this is misleading, even for myself! I have been learning Dutch since I arrived! Each day I listen to it, I read words, I add words to my vocabulary, I understand a little bit more, even if it's only for Duolingo's sentences or small sentences on flyers ! - Same goes for " Get a Job " - I do have a job next week, I will be working as a cleaner, but that's a job, that's an opportunity to feel useful, to enter the job market and to generate some income. So I am happy I decided to create a second list where I put down even more stuff done in less than 2 months in Holland ! Next list: lay down as many options and steps/tasks to follow the Learning of Dutch and Getting a Job.

School Notebook

I spent about 13 years of school HATING my own notebooks. It always seemed like everyone around me had really nice and effective ones, I do remember seeing some nastier than mine though. After school I didn't care much more about it. My notebooks became more graphical and filled with to-do lists or notes. Now that I'm starting to try to teach myself Dutch, I look at my notebook and it's again quite repulsive - this makes that I will probably never be able to access anything from here, so it's more about the process of writing it down than to access it again in the future. A way to improve this situation is by using drawings - by concentrating and making the drawing, I access a better memorisation. Some people use colours but I normally just get all lost in the different markers and pens and mostly, the colour scheme in use; then there's no more consistency and it becomes an extra distraction.

Lists, CBT and moving

Imagem
I started this blog when I was feeling stuck in my career and struggling to find a job . I felt the need to share with others what I was dealing with, inside myself. Most of this struggle comes from the fact that I spent many years fighting with myself and only recently I discovered that I have ADHD, and I that there are ways of dealing with it. One of the ways is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy . I won't write much about it. I will just say that I discovered it in the last months in London, so i need had the chance to try it. I was reading a bit about it though. I decided I would give it a try at some of the principles. I always made a big effort to remind myself of what wasn't working in my decisions and actions, after reading about CBT, I decided I would try and show very clearly to myself what WAS working. This is a non extensive list of what I needed to do while moving from London to Arnhem. The list shows a certain obsession to find a job (not so helpful) but it als...
