Month in review: January 2022
I started to write this post to realise the last time I wrote a month in review was exactly one year ago – in January 2021. As I’ve written many times, it is great to look back and realise that yes, the time goes fast, but we do manage to pack lots of great things in it. These monthly reviews are my version of the ‘done list’, and they do indeed help to keep motivation and focus. Here is what happened in the first month of 2022.

Month in review: January 2021
Last year was strange in many senses, besides COVID significantly slowing down the whole planet, lots of changes happened in my little corner of the world. Read more…

Month in review: June 2020
We are already half way through 2020! While it was looking like things were starting to feel a bit more normal – we have been talking about going back to campus, for example – Australia has just had a new outbreak. Although it is not close to where I live, everyone is again watching closely to see what happens next. Read more…

Better late than never, and before I forget all that happened last month, here it is. Read more…
Months in review: March and April 2020
Last time I wrote a month in review post I had just got back to work after maternity leave. At that point I was hoping that I would take control of my time, but it didn’t happen quite that way. In 2019 I invested A LOT in conferences, workshops, and collaborations. Some extremely valuable and fruitful, others not so much. One of my main goals for 2020 is to learn how to better focus on the most important things and make wiser choices. Read more…
Month in review: January and February 2018
I returned to work after parental leave just over a month ago. This post is also a return to a self-analysis series of ‘month in reviews’ which has helped me keep motivated. These posts haven’t been published for almost a year now, so it is time for a return and a bit of update now that life seems to be finding its way to a new normal. Read more…
Month in review: April 2018 (with a hint of February and March 2018)
I am falling behind with my ‘month in review posts’. Truth is I’ve drafted February, never wrapped it up. Drafted March and combined with February, and never wrapped it up again. Double fail! It is sad, because not publishing these posts means I stop writing my achievements, and end up getting get demotivated. So consequence of not tracking? Not writing! Read more…
Month in review: November and December 2017, and January 2018
This condensed month in review post is unusual – a first to be fair! – and these past three months have been eventful ones. On 12th November I left Cairns to atend the International Urban Design Conference in the Gold Coast. From there I flew to Brazil where I participated in an examination panel in my old Architecture and Urbanism School where I did my Masters and was a keynote speaker in an event in the Architecture School where I undertook my Bachelor in Architecture and Urbanism.
