Weekly Notes 14/2025

It is already April. One quarter of 2025 is over!

This week began with thinking about our New Year, Vishu, about returning to working in hybrid mode again after surgery, my note-making and to-do lists, writing poetry and companion blog posts, and some home reorganization projects.

I hope to return to working from office in a hybrid mode from tomorrow. In preparation, I tried to drive the car under conditions similar to me going to office. I did much better in worse road conditions than what I face when I go to office. I got the green signal from the doctor.

After I wrote here about the great progress I was making on this blog, I basically made no progress in the note making process. I made no notes. I fixed this by ordering a new Neorah A5 notebook for my Bullet Journal practice.

I read about Meishi on Arun’s blog and have shared his design to get about 100 cards printed. I want to try it out as a to-do list and note taking system.

I wrote a poem on each day for Global Poetry Writing month on thinkdeli. I, then, wrote companion blog posts on the blog here. Not, for all of them but ones that I thought I should write about – which was most of them. You can read them here.

Reading

• Interesting X thread by Conor White-Sullivan that has a provocative start in the post, “If your AI won’t help you break the law, it doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to those who make its laws“
• The Art of Manliness had a nice blog post about the four parenting style. This had me look at and become more aware about my parenting style.
• “Worrying about a task often is far worse than the task itself. Starting is the hardest part.” Good to be reminded of this sometimes.
• I did not get much reading done. But, I have added more books and articles to read in my reading list :).

Watching

• I’ve reached the last season of The Good Wife. It is a legal political drama. This may be the reason I am watching it.
• I also watched a couple of episodes of the new season of Bosch: Legacy.
• It seems I did not get much watching done.
