Oh no! I think this is my first year that I’ve missed it. Argh. That’s what happens when you’re out of the loop completely. It’s interesting to reflect now that “tools” in my life only extend to those that are helping me learn my new skills such as: YouTube; iTalki and real life conversation meetups for my French language.

The golf course (real not virtual) and Trackman and a Golf coach (real not virtual).

Reedsy, Grammarly, and classes (real not virtual) for creative writing.

I’ll be adding a new system soon called Mosaic in my new capacity archiving artefacts and historical items of interest as part of a heritage committee.

I don’t think these “tools” would be valued to the wider professional community but it does make you wonder how your focus on these tools change over time and the phases of your life.
