It’s been a while since I updated this blog.

I’ve been trying to form the habit of regularly recording on Twitter and on my own phone in the form of Notes.

What I realised is that I find it way easier when I don’t feel that I ‘need to connect’ to an audience.

I may decide to kick people off the new Instagram account that I’m trying to set up about my professional life until I’m deeper into it.

Right now, I do feel a certain insecurity due to the presence of too many people (although there are less than 20 followers).

Let’s figure that out later.

My Word of the Year 2021 is…

Jam

I actually wrote all of this down on 31 Dec 2020 in my notebook on why I chose this word:

1) Jam is experimental

It involves other people. In the coming year, I intend to experiment more, both to test things out as well as to continuously improve myself and my skills and abilities. As others are also involved, there will be a need to continue to build and maintain relationships, as well as cull them, continuing on from the previous 2 years.

2) Jam can get messy (as can jamming) (and making jam)

I intend to be unafraid of getting my hands dirty and having things in disarray. Eventually, things will become…

3) Sweet

The signature taste of jam. I will trust that things will eventually turn out for the best, The end-result of a jam is not only pleasant to the tongue, it will be pleasing to the eye (and ear), and is readily shared.

4) The Jams in my life

I will have to isolate them, deal with them, or overcome them. Also, I’ll have to jam the brakes on bad habits and behaviours that are detrimental to me and others.

If you’ve read this, you’ll notice quite a bit of play on words. I find that this helps me to remember things and keeps them fresh in my mind.
