Moolmes collects, organises and publishes educational material on the ordinary tasks that households, learners and community groups carry out: keeping records, planning time and money, preparing for the seasons, communicating clearly and taking part in local decisions. Everything in the catalogue is free to read, indexed by subject, and reviewed before publication.
Every entry carries a shelf mark. The first field is the subject class, the second the collection, the third the item.
01 · Directory
Search the whole catalogue by subject, title or shelf mark. Filtering applies to every list on this page.
02 · Shelves
Six of twelve subject collections. Each collection holds guides, reference sheets and a reading list.
Systems for storing, maintaining and sharing the work of a household.
Practical competence with the tools people are required to use.
How local services, boards and volunteer bodies actually work.
Turning intentions into schedules, budgets and reviewable plans.
Writing and speaking clearly in ordinary, consequential situations.
Study methods for adults learning outside a classroom.
03 · Editorial
New and revised entries, most recent first. Reading times are measured at 220 words a minute.
Most home filing systems fail at the point of entry, not the point of retrieval. This article follows a document from the letterbox to its final resting place and identifies the four moments where it is most likely to be lost, with a low-effort correction for each.
Time estimates for unfamiliar tasks are unreliable in a predictable direction. We look at why, describe reference-class estimating in plain terms, and set out a small measurement habit that improves estimates within about six weeks.
A worked walk-through of a typical Canadian utility statement: the difference between usage and delivery charges, how adjustments appear, what a budget billing plan does to the numbers, and which questions to put to the provider when a total looks wrong.
Dense material rewards a structured approach. This article describes a survey pass, a question pass and a consolidation pass, with an example applied to a municipal planning report.
Agendas, delegations, motions, amendments and referrals, explained through the ordinary life cycle of a local proposal. Includes what a resident can realistically influence and at which stage.
