procrastination – Iain Douglas Stewart

Week 35 – 2025

By Iain 31 August 2025Weekly UpdatesNo Comments

27-08-2025 I'm back on it. I've been spinning my wheels for too long. Summer holidays have not helped, as Jake and I have been going out and doing things rather than staying in and writing/working on projects. That project I mentioned the other week never happened because of this - just not enough time to do things before I had…

Progress

By Iain 19 December 2022Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

I'm coming to the end of my knee's recovery period, and I've made quite a bit of progress since first being off work. I put up a bookcase upstairs, sorted out a bunch of old clothes and bits and bobs I don't need anymore, and sorted out my bookcase downstairs somewhat - it's still a work in progress but I'm…

Sunday service: Rollercoasters go down as well as up

By Iain 20 March 2022ReflectionsNo Comments

Just been feeling a little bit down this week. Can't pinpoint it on anything really. I smashed the next section of the coaching course I'm doing via Association of Learning - after it was returned to me because I didn't do the Harvard referencing and citations properly though... I can't say I'm a fan of having to reference stuff, I…

Sunday Service: Half-term

By Iain 27 February 2022Creativity, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

So this last week was half term for my lovely little boy, which meant that there was not as much progress on the goals as usual. It was more of a "thinking" week rather than a "doing" week. I brought along my planners and notebooks when I took Jake to soft play, reviewed some ideas and solidified some others. Once…

My procrastination

By Iain 24 November 2021Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

Procrastination is a tricky beast. To anyone watching it may look like I don't care about anything, and I'm being lazy. But in reality, I'm crippled by indecision. I don't know what to do next. There are so many things I want to do, things I want to start, things I want to finish, things I want to carry on…

L2CiCS: Reflective Diary – 24th January 2018

By Iain 24 January 2018Qualifications courseworkNo Comments

This week we were asked to explore and reflect on a couple of thought exercises relating to our self-awareness. One was to think about a time you were not helped by someone from whom you expected help from. For me, this would be a couple of years ago when I thought I had some kind of physical problem in my…

L2CiCS: Reflective Diary – 8th November 2017

This week, we were challenged to explore our Moral Values, and to complete the Self Puzzle. My Moral Timeline One community that I have been a part of for all of my life is the rather large community of Great Britain, which is governed by laws. These laws are in line with a lot of our own personal moral values,…

L2CiCS: Notes on my Self Puzzle – 8th November 2017

By Iain 8 November 2017Qualifications courseworkNo Comments

Today we were given the task of creating a self puzzle to help develop the accuracy of our self-awareness. I clearly interpreted it as a maze-like puzzle, rather than a jigsaw puzzle. To start with, I took the seven virtues that I thought described me best, added love as the central core of all the virtues, and added empathy and…
