Casting Off

Another bit of glancing back today. At my year's three-quarter mark I thought it useful to recall my New Year resolution for 2025 - that being a vow to be Leaner and Keener. On the 'leaner' front, I think it's reasonable to say I've managed to thin down quite a bit of the unnecessary, especially at work, having paid a few quiet visits to the big bins at one of the more remote entrances into the grounds. But I could still do better (the theme of many of the pithier school reports from my teachers.)

I've got vague plans about this, relating for the most part to papers I have in storage. Picturing dumping documents I really should have got rid of years ago has an odd enchantment about it. Not sure that's entirely healthy in mental terms, but I'm of an age when it's wise to take whatever pleasures avail themselves without too much in the way of self-analysis. Definitely keen to be mean.
