My kids are hitting 30 now and I am adjusting to the change between being more of a coach than a teacher. They ask me questions about their work but mostly how to fix boilers and practical issues. I have pizza and walk with my son every wee

I am a walker and walk around most of my city, Belfast. The affluence I encounter does not seem to match the news narrative. I am concerned that I have become hard-hearted. Alternatively, I wonder if I just see the world differently to othe

I am in a similar position to yourself but more concerned about remaining current, than looking for paid work. Working with a colleague/friend in my last job for ten years gave me the edge to stay ahead. I have not figured out how fill

This is exactly why I started to blog 20 years ago. To remind myself how to do things and help those who stumbled across the posts. It was a way of saying thank you other people's posts who had helped me.

My 20 year old blog is private to myself. I have observed I keep having the same plans and ideas at different times. It has been very useful to pin those ideas down to a persistent plan or strategy. I have also found it useful as I am an ex

Not an answer to your question but I used to keep the on call money in a separate pot. Then over time I would buy something fun from the pot, like some new tech. I found this helped me.

At 49 I left my IT job to join an incubator and grow my sideline business of 15 years. That lasted about 9 months and since then I have become a Lecturer in Computing in Further Education. I love my new job. It has many freedoms and also ch

Are you worried about your wife, as you mention hormone issues? My wife was depressed for a time after our first child. This was a difficult time for her and I felt like an absolute failure. My church minister asked me one day did I think m

Stig of the Dump and Peter Pan. As an adult I can now see as a child I was drawn by lonely characters, finding friends and going on adventures. I was well cared for in my family but not emotionally. I was the boy who turned up at your house

I'm not sure if I'm a good listener, but I've improved by asking people questions instead of just talking about myself. Doing this makes you realize how tedious it is to be around people who dominate conversations, and it sho

I'm 52 now and I rely more on my notes app now, which is Joplin. Keep making notes as you are doing at present and it will help. I also resonate with the person who said that reading out aloud helps. I start each day reading the Bible
