Been sleeping badly this week for no reason. I feel tired right up to the moment I get into bed then it’s 💥BAM💥: the entire Taste song by Sabrina Carpenter plays in my head.
Oh, I leave quite an impression……
Ran a small empathy mapping workshop with Rhoda and Jill to burrow down into what a new starter at the BFI would need to see and do when they start. We’re hoping that the findings in this workshop will feed into a new starter section on the intranet, that will help people who’ve joined the BFI to integrate in a quick, easy and friendly way.

Have met with the Inclusion team a few times now, and things are starting to look a bit more practical, which is really helpful for me. With ADHD comes executive dysfunction, which means I can really [struggle with long-term visions](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/23224-executive-dysfunction#:~:text=Trouble planning or carrying out a task because you can’t visualize the finished product or goal.) without tangible actions and solid plans. I’ve been planning a bit of a workshop that should help us formalise some concrete objectives for this work.
Had a great chat with the Certification team this week. They’re keen to improve the content and structure of their pages, and we even spoke about creating some ‘first time applicants’ guidance, which is something I’ve been keen to try for fund guidelines - so this will be a great test to see how it can work!

My girlfriend and I recently got Odeon Limitless, so I saw two films at the Odeon this week.
Companion (2025) ****⭐⭐⭐
Detective Chinatown 1900 (2025) ⭐⭐
At home on Valentine’s Day, we re-watched Night of the Living Dead (1968) (⭐⭐⭐⭐), which was very romantic.
I’m sure this will surprise no one but I’m still reading War and Peace, and expect to be for the foreseeable.
