Beautiful morning in the woods. We packed up and headed home around 1:30 pm. Last night you could see all the stars in the sky. I love being out here. Since we were covered in fine dust from the trail we jumped into the pool at home.

I went to the company picnic this morning and won a new NAS. I already have one and I’m not sure what to do with this one. From the picnic we went straight to Hyak to go bicycle camping. It was pretty warm in the forest. The kids played near the stream to keep cool.

Cleaned out my drawers in my office. A lot of little bits of things I no longer use. The place is looking much better. I have a few bags of stuff I need to drop off at Goodwill. I worked on my eBike after work to get it ready for my next adventure.

Finished my presentation for next week on a Text Expander program we use at work. I have been pushing for everyone to use this for over a year. It saves a lot of time on our repetitive tasks. After work I enjoyed the day pool side.

A lot of changes are being made at work. They will be standardizing most of the workflow and how we document issues. I agree with most of the new procedures, but I don’t think the time allocated to do it is not enough. I rode my bike to and from work. Watch the boat be pull and lunched

Road my bike to work today once I arrived, I had to run back and go home. The kid’s sitter was sick and couldn’t make it. I worked the rest of the day at home. BBQed some steaks for dinner then went swimming afterwards.

I was called into the director’s office again. They are going to implement another of my recommendations to help techs. I am putting together a training course on a text expander software that I use to respond to clients with issues quickly.
I will be giving the presentation next week. Spent allot of time helping technicians with issues there were having. Gave them resolutions, a good process to understand the issue and look up solutions, and just talk about what we did over the weekend.
For the next few days, I will be focusing on the presentation and getting ready to showcase how to use the tool.

I mowed my other neighbours yard this morning after the early morning grocery shopping. I continued to declutter till the afternoon. I played video games with my son. In the evening we all went swimming int the 80°F pool.

Planned my decluttering for the next month. I organized them in zones and haven’t placed due dates yet. Just going to schedule 15 minutes a day per task in any given zone. Cleared more vegetation from my back yard. The yard is coming together. Saturday morning gardening is relaxing. I will keep doing it throughout this summer.
I am using my Kindle Scribe to create to-do list for the day and am using it to plan my decluttering schedule. I like it more than the Surface because of the e-ink screen. Works very well outside in the bright day. I wish it was able to sync with OneNote, that would be amazing.

I added morning swim to my routine. I did this last summer but for some reason forgot to resume it this year. It is a nice morning wakeup and allows me to clear my mind before the day gets started. Decluttering is still underway. I am working about 15 to 30 minutes a day doing so. I am reworking my daily routine to allow consistent time to declutter my things. This includes all the stuff on my computer and phone. My office is clean but has two drawers that need to be dumped out. I haven’t used anything in these drawers for years.
The past hot days had me stay indoors for most of the day. Planning to work on the back yard on Saturday morning while the day is cool. The new plant growth around my house is exploding and needs to be kept in check.
