Wednesday's SPINACH: ( Read more... )

Today's planned SPINACH:
Social -- email catch-up
Physical -- sea-swimming
Intellectual -- read some more of Writing from the Inside Out
New -- nothing
Artistic -- writing?
Cultural -- finish The End of Mr Y
Helpful -- something domestic, maybe

I used to have another acronym for the framework by which I attempted to impose structure and fulfilment on my time ... but SPINACH is better

S is for Social -- seeing people, keeping in touch
P is for Physical -- swimming cycling walking etc
I is for Intellectual -- using my brain (book reviews, databases, programming etc)
N is for New -- doing something new (this is a weekly goal and probably includes 'reading new author', 'hearing new music' etc).
A is for Artistic -- writing card-making collaging jewellery-making
C is for Cultural -- films music books theatre exhibitions
H is for Helpful -- stuff that doesn't benefit me directly, or benefits somebody else more (formerly 'altruistic').

Today the plan is roughly:
S -- [sekrit thing this evening]
P -- cycle to pool, swim
I -- write up a book
N -- [sekrit thing this evening]
A -- I am going to write a thousand words if it kills me
C -- finish reading The End of Mr Y
H -- maybe I'll mow the lawn
