American Horror Story: Coven Inspirations

Following on from Part One, here is the second part of my toolbox. This post will focus on my writing and reading apps – into how I create content and my personal knowledge management. WRITING Scrivener (Large projects) Because […]

H. H. Holmes – America’s First Serial Killer

American Horror Story: Asylum Inspirations

American Horror Story: Murder House Inspirations

A few weeks ago I mentioned in a previous post that I have gone from having a swiss-army knife to a toolbox-mode of approach to how I manage my life. I have had to split them up into subcategories, […]

William Hartnell Doctor: 1963 – 1966 First Episode: An Unearthly Child This episode is very much an introductory episode – we see the police box in a junkyard before we are taken to the setting of a school. Two […]

WDSTF: Harry Truman

I have always been interested in my reading habits. I started with Goodreads, though it still only tracks the number of books and pages you read. Then, for a while, I kept a record of my stats in The […]

What My Reading Looked Like In 2021

It was in 2005 that I was first introduced to Billy Joel’s song, We Didn’t Start The Fire. It was my first History in the 20th Century class that the teacher pressed play on the cassette tape and played […]

WDSTF: The Song

With a new year, there is always a sense of starting fresh, or for me having another stab at it. For me, it was August Bradley’s PPV (Pillars, Pipelines and Vaults) System – though I knew from the outset […]

Do You Know About Robert The Doll?

Since deciding to move back to Todoist I have been on the lookout for a habit tracker. TickTick had a built-in one, which was great but I realised I like a dedicated habit app. Over the years, I have […]

Avocation: A New Way Of Looking At Habits

As we approach the end of another year, it is inevitable that we start looking towards the future. A Cinderellaesque moment as on 31 December the clock strikes midnight, separating one year from another. It is a time that […]

The Towitta Murders

When I got a job I started using a to-do list. After much investigation which was watching heaps of review videos, I decided on Todoist. I cannot remember where I found it, but I managed to find a really […]

I want to listen to podcasts more than I should. However; I have to get past the issue I have with any media that I listen too — I want to take notes on everything that I listen too. […]

Note Workflow: Podcasts

It was a few days ago that I discovered that it was Disabled Empowerment in Higher Education Month on Twitter. I discovered that this was a celebration of disabled people in higher education. Making it more accessible and visible […]

Disabled In Higher Ed

A year ago, I achieved a lifelong dream — I purchased my own copy of Endnote X9. Over the years, when I have been in further education — I have loved the idea of having Endnote. But I have never really had the […]

Endnote 20 – Some Thoughts

You will have to forgive the lack of blog posts – I am deep into my manuscript – now knowing there is potential of it to be published. I know it will not be as big as the book […]

Writing True Crime

Apart from my oats in the morning, the thing I am most looking forward to is my first cup of tea. My brew of choice is Yorkshire English Breakfast Strong. I am very lucky that I live in an […]

The History of the Kettle

I love being in airports. I don’t go there often and when I did, nowadays, I would stick to the domestic side. It has been on only a very few rare occasions that I have flown international. The excitement […]

Reg Spiers: Athlete Come Drug Smugler

Growing up in Australia, before YouTube – the weekends were always to sleep in. School wasn’t a top priority for the next two days. For other people it may have been sport or a market, for us it was […]
