My top 3 tasks for the remainder of the day are:

• Edit and publish yesterday’s workshop all about workplace loneliness
• Edit and publish a recording of a webinar on mindfulness practices
• Edit and publish a recording of a workplace on ‘difficult conversations’

With all this time in front of the computer today, I’m glad I stretched my legs on the way to and from my breakfast meeting this morning.

I’m a little relieved the weather is so disappointing today! I have four videos to edit today - a few webinar recordings and some new course materials - and it’s even more difficult to focus on this when the sun is shining outside.

I’m such a sun worshipper, it makes concentrating in the office a real challenge when I can see what I’m missing outside. And living in London, the sun is never guaranteed. Thankfully, the forecast is better for tomorrow and the weekend, so I’ll hopefully get some time in the sun then. A real exercise in delayed gratification.

Before all that, I have a coffee appointment over at Liverpool Street - another excuse to enjoy the newish Elizabeth Line (it’ll always be Crossrail to me) and get there at something approaching light speed.

But first, a second coffee here at home, to raise my conscious awareness a little more before navigating public transport.

It was my first public webinar in quite some time - unfortunately taking place after a shocking night of insomnia. My Apple Watch delivered the bad news once I woke up - but I didn’t need a device to tell me I hadn’t slept enough.

But I think I survived it! Add to that some workshop design, as well as recording a new episode of the podcast, and I think I had a surprisingly product day in the office - all things considered.

With a just few days until WWDC, I’m interested to see what Apple is going to do with its core apps, like Reminders and Notes.

I’d love to see backlinks in Notes, to support some #PKM action. And the ability to easily get a deeplink from any note to share to any other app. When it comes to Reminders, I’d welcome the ability to hide links, notes and attachments from the interface.

With these kinds of updates, Apple’s core apps could be all I need to organise myself and get stuff done.

Based on rumours though, I think it’s going to be nothing but the fancy new Apple headset and VR demos galore.
