Let me introduce you to “Memory Stuttering”

July 13, 2026May 30, 2026James Sweeney

Good morning 👋

Hope your day is off to a brilliant start!

We’ve talked a lot about stuttering on the page over the last seven years; however, today, I wanted to do something a little different…

While there are lots of different forms and experiences of stuttering, a couple of years ago I came up with my own phrase for something I’d noticed in my life: “memory stuttering.”

Now, before we go any further, this isn’t an official speech therapy term or anything like that. It’s simply the name I gave to a pattern I’d started noticing. So, let’s take a look at what this means.

We’re nearly halfway through 2026 🤯

June 29, 2026June 26, 2026James Sweeney

Goood morning 👋

We’re very quickly approaching the end of June (he says with only two days to spare). How that has happened so fast, I’ll never know.

This got me thinking the other day, and I came up with a couple of questions that I wanted to ask you today. So, let’s get cracking and see what they have in store.

Sometimes, things don’t go according to plan

June 1, 2026May 29, 2026James Sweeney

Good morning 👋

What’s a life lesson that you’ve been reminded of recently?

I only ask that question, as it’s something that’s been on my mind lately, and I’ll tell you for why, in a little story about how things don’t always go according to plan, but how that is 100% okay. Let’s take a closer look at what I mean.

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend ☀️

Gooood afternoon 👋

How’s your weekend started off?

Here in the UK, it’s the start of the May Bank Holiday weekend, and somehow the sunshine has arrived right on cue. This gave me a lovely idea for a chilled-out blog, which is what we’ll be taking a look at today.

Good afternoon 👋

How’s your weekend started off?

Last weekend, 19 of us from the undefinable community travelled over to Devon for our Spring 2026 Retreat. As is customary on the page, it’s time for a little wrap-up post, taking a look at some of what we got up to this time around 🌻

Good afternoon,

Hope you’re having a fab day so far 😁

On Monday, I had the pleasure of driving to Cardiff to take part in a fantastic project led by my friend Fin and his business, Proteus Digital. Let’s take a closer look at this project and the difference we’re hoping to make in today’s blog.

How do you reflect on your life?

April 11, 2026April 9, 2026James Sweeney

Good morning 🌅

What’s something that’s brought a smile to your face lately?

I love asking questions like this – ones which genuinely make you stop, pause and reflect on the beautiful mystery that is each of our lives. We’re going to be following that train of thought in today’s blog, as I fancy doing something a little bit different.

We’re rapidly approaching the end of the first quarter of 2026. Can you believe it? We’re going to be taking a look at some of the ways you can reflect on the last couple of months, as well as how you can look ahead in the best way for the spring and summer months to come.

A beautiful outlook on life…

February 16, 2026James Sweeney

Good morning,

I hope you’re having a wonderful start to the week 🙂

Last week, I watched the finale of one of my favourite TV shows, The Good Place. It’s one of the best finales made, in my opinion, and there’s one speech made by the character Chidi that I wanted to share with you all today, and mention why I love it.

My 2026 New Year’s Resolutions

January 31, 2026James Sweeney

Good afternoon 👋

How are you doing today?

At the end of each year, I like to take some time to reflect on the last 12 months before setting out my goals for the year ahead. As we’re on the final day of January, I thought that now would be the ideal time to share them with you all, which is exactly what we’re going to be doing today.

It’s okay to feel how you feel this January

January 12, 2026January 11, 2026James Sweeney

Good morning 👋

How are you doing this morning?

The start of the year is often a very positive and exciting time for many, as they strive to begin the year as they mean to go on – making plans, redefining themselves, and adjusting their priorities for the next 12 months.

However, if this doesn’t sound like you, or doesn’t feel like something that would work for you, that’s completely okay, and is what we’ll be looking at today.

For a lot of people, myself included, today is where we head back to work after a short break over the festive season. We’re going to take a look at how you can return to work in a way that aligns your goals, your plans and the person you see yourself becoming in 2026.

Dear 2025

December 29, 2025James Sweeney

Gooooood afternoon 👋

How are you doing this Monday?

The finishing line for 2025 is in sight. Can you believe it? What a year this one has turned out to be – full of more adventures and stories than I could begin to count. Before we say goodbye to these 12 months, as the chapter starts anew, let’s take a look at some of my thoughts, before I get fully into my reflections in January.

The beauty of debating

November 24, 2025November 23, 2025James Sweeney

Good morning 👋

How are you doing today?

The other day, I found myself thinking about how much I love a good debate or discussion. There’s a kind of magic in those moments where two people go back and forth on an idea – which is exactly what we’re going to be exploring in today’s blog.

Your content makes a difference…

November 15, 2025James Sweeney

Good morning,

How are you doing?

I’ve been creating on LinkedIn and here on Sweeney’s Blogs for over six and a half years now. While doing this for such a long time teaches you more lessons than I could begin to share in one post, I wanted to talk about one in particular with you all today.
