There are two things I want to say about momentum.
Firstly, Momentum is the name of a Google Chrome extension I’ve been using for the past few weeks. It takes the place of your new tab page and has some really great features such as:
- A personalised greeting
- A new, beautiful wallpaper every day
- The local weather
- An interesting daily quote
- A single item to-do list that asks what the focus of your day will be
It’s a really simple add on, but I find the combination of daily content and personal focus motivates me when I open my laptop in the morning. You should give it a try.
Gathering momentum
Secondly, today was the first time I truly felt momentum in my work. I was able to achieve all my objectives for the day and I found a natural flow. This was the place I was hoping to get to when I gently started my thesis grind.
To be honest, I was a little worried then that I would start slowly and never really build up a sustainable speed. But through a kind and patient build up I’ve been able to foster a great space for work. And now I feel ready to take on the rest of the challenge.

P.s. New blog feature is my song of the day. Check it out below

Oh Flow is awesome I am reading the Flow book at the moment.
I believe the Momentum extension and I will get along just fine, and I do quite like the additions as you go along…Wordpress is awesome ain’t it 🙂
Thanks for the addition of Song of the Day. I put it on super loud for Fabio as a wake up tune and we have added it or our Road to School play list on Google Music. I had a look at the Momentum Chrome extension it looks beautiful! So glad you are gathering Momentum and finding your Flow.
