My Personal Archive System
I shared a post on here previously about Jamie Todd Rubin's personal archive system (PAS) . I have now started to implement my own. Doing this is something that's always interested me. I feel it's important to preserve details from your own life to look back on. It gives you good and bad memories to reflect on and you can build on these and live a more intentional life. My PAS differs from Jamie's…
The correct way to make a cup of tea
This is my favourite way to make a cup of tea. Boil the kettle. Pour the boiling water into your cup of choice. This water is just to heat the cup up. Empty any remaining water out of the kettle and fill it up with fresh cold water. Boil the kettle again. Empty the cup of the warming water just before the kettle boils, and place your tea bag in the cup. Once the water has boiled, put the water…

The best omelette
I’ve started having omelettes for breakfast. I read that having a savoury breakfast that had fat and protein was better than having sweet or carbohydrate based breakfasts. Whilst it could be healthier, I really enjoy this and it’s filling. I always have a 2 egg omelette. I have this with streaky bacon and mushrooms. Here is my recipe. Cook the bacon . I like to use streaky bacon for a little bit…
Blank first page
When I start a new notebook, one thing I always do is leave the first page blank. The reason behind this is that I feel a lot of pressure to make the notebook perfect. If I mess up on the first page then I feel I’ve messed up the whole book. Missing the first page takes the pressure off. There’s a YouTube who does the same thing here .

Personal Archive
I recently came across this article from Jamie Todd Rubin. It really inspired me. I've always been interested in personal archives and this just made me even more so. I have so much going on at the moment. I'm a new father, I'm getting married in December, I've went back to university and I have a part time job. This is an especially mad time in my life. I think it would be good to look back on in…
Updating the look of the site
I've spent the morning tinkering with my site's theme. I think I'm at a place where I'm fairly happy now. I will be moving onto the content next and hopefully we'll get my site up and running again.
