To Do List and Diary

Thought Id share my “To Do” system in case its of any interest. Its a system thats evolved over quite a long period of time and now seems to work quite well in terms of: a) keeping me up todate with what I want/need to be doing, whilst b) helping me avoid the feeling that...Continue reading

Nonviolent Communication Weekend

This weekend I attended a course in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre. NVC is nothing to do with Buddhism per se (tho it does sit well alongside it).
