Musings Of Sporring - Issue #38

October 23, 2021

It's getting colder, and soon we have the first snow falling here in Stockholm, Sweden. Even if we miss the warmth of Summer, the different seasons are lovely in their own ways.

A Journal Of Thoughts

  • I go to rehab for my Parkinsons every Tuesday and Thursday mornings. And it helps greatly, and even if it is for a limited time. The various training helps me, not cure the disease but to put breaks on it. I have Qigong, Basal body awareness, a speech therapist, a psychologist, physio, and work therapists. All these listened to me, and what my needs are, so the schedule is dynamic and changes to my own needs. I have reached halftime now on Thursday, and it's time for the first of two meetings to see where I'm at and how to go on in the second part.

  • Started to work on a book about notetaking that I hope will be published in quarter 2 next year. It's fun to think on a larger scale, and I welcome the challenge.

  • PKM - Personal Knowledge Management is what I'm studying right now, and I believe that will be a series of articles on this subject during the coming months.
