I'm trying recently to use psychology to my benefit.

Another week, and another week where I say "it wasn't my best week".

(I'm not sure whether to release this blog post on 2025-03-01 or 2025-03-02 - as I write it's the 2nd, but it's because it's only just gone midnight.

(this is entry 73 of #100DaysToOffload) ive written most of my blog with uppercase, and apostrophes littering my ims and its. its quite nice in a way to write solely lowercase, and gives an air of informality, an air of unprofessionality. a cosier, more i…
