What I’m doing now

At work

• Consulting and building websites for charities and museums via my web studio 16by9.
• Writing The Website Redesign Handbook.
• Sending Working Notes, a short and useful newsletter for people who look after websites.
• I’ve joined Robin Waite’s Fearless Business Accelerator to improve my business processes and marketing assets. It’s early days but seems like a great resource and community.
• Exploring some pro bono work for small charities, as a way of giving back.

Personally

• Trying to embrace dad life as much as possible. Our daughter is now 18 months old. Some days are tough, trying to manage work and home life. And teething. Bloody teething. It’s been a whirlwind, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
• Reading and writing whenever I can.
• Taking photos in the little free time I have.
• We have helped the in-laws look after their allotment for the past eight years or so. Later this year, we’re taking it over. There’s something about getting your hands dirty and growing your own fruit and vegetables that feels good for the soul. It’s how I recharge.

Currently reading

• Empathy by Roman Krznaric
• Great Founders Write by Ben Putano
• Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (translated by Gregory Hays)
• Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg

I keep a log of the books I’ve read.

Inspired by Derek Sivers.
