Tim Tam Reviews

I reviewed a bunch of Tim Tams and posted them online.

Hi

While a week off has been a decent circuit breaker, it's also made me aware of just how cluttered my life is.

I tend to just collect stuff I think will be useful in the future, I own three sets of golf clubs because I think I'll eventually play a game of golf, and will have 2 friends who need to loan clubs to play along. I could start small, sign up to a community course and get lessons, but when would I slot it in?

Take this site for example, it needs a full clean up. I didn't think too much about the concept of a site map when I first built it, the aim simply was to host everything I'd written in the one place. While did a good job of keeping that up, I then shifting the focus to blogging - which is fine, but maybe not the most qualitative writing exercise. As such, everything is split across several pages, several identities - some headers say cheeriersandals, others say Sooky, some have sidebars, others don't, I drafted a few zines at a point which sit on here incomplete.

So, I have a little work ahead just considering the site map, figuring out what makes the most amount of sense, and how to make each page uniform enough so it is a simple copy/paste, and not a full redesign. I like how simple my website is, I appreciate the artistry of many sites here, but a complicated aesthetic is not for me.

The other thing I realised is that my screen time is up drastically, which sure is understandable if I'm feeling unwell and have been at home filling in time for the last week. If I'm considering playing video games so I have less mindless screentime and more mindful screentime, it's pretty dire. I could use the time more productively doing literally anything else other than viewing Instagram reels. I did manage to score -3 in Golf on NES though.

It'll all have to wait until I get a little better, work next week will be more involved and the time I've spent resting is time I was going to get my marking done. So, there is a little big of a shuffle around, I'm mildly aware that most posts I make now are about breaking the habit, and shifting to a more involved or organised life, it'll get there. Thanks for reading if you did happen to make it this far, I appreciate it greatly!.
