This is entry two in this new themed series of blog posts in which, as part of my ongoing quest for greater self awareness and my continued personal and professional development, I pick a key word and write about it for a set amount of time. Feel free to leave a comment on here with a new word for me…

What does it for me?

The fear of turning out like my dad.— Iain Douglas Stewart ?? (@Iain_D_Stewart) August 12, 2018 Inspired by this tweet, and powered by a love of self-discovery, I'm going to answer this question honestly and fully, to the best of my ability. It took me a while to get around to it, but as you can see, what fuels me…

My thoughts and experiences with Fitbits

September 19, 2018Posted inEssays, The MissionNo Comments
After using a variety of Fitbit devices over the last couple of years, I thought it was about time I talked about them, and how they have helped me to keep track of my fitness goals. My first Fitbit was a Charge HR, and I bought that in September 2016. I loved it! Seeing how many steps I had done…

What’s the score?

When I first started writing a blog back in 2005 I had no idea I'd still be writing it now. I thought it'd be a short-lived thing. I wouldn't stick to it. That would be the kind of thing I do. But here we are, thirteen years later. I've moved all my posts over from various other websites I've had…

It is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay today, and it brought my feelings from this post into scrutiny: http://iaindstewart.net/blog/2005/08/25/gcse-results/ I say in the post that I wish I had paid attention during years ten and eleven, done some revision and actually applied myself. But at the time of the exams themselves, I was in a bad place. Let's go back a bit first though.…
Waves is gone

Waves is gone

September 4, 2018Posted inInternet, Site RelatedNo Comments
My old blog, Waves, which used to be at the old domain of randomfury.co.uk, is no more. All the posts have been folded into this blog. It was a lovely place, if a bit quiet. I feel like I've written this a lot recently, but it was always more for me to cathartically write than for people to read. I'd…

2014 in review

September 4, 2018Posted inSite Related, The MissionNo Comments
I'm just making little summaries of the posts as I transfer them across to this blog from my old one, paying attention to key moments and looking out for the overarching themes. I knew something had to give. The first few posts of 2014 concerned the targets I was setting for myself. This one was interesting: For too long I…
