Health and Happiness

I suppose, because of my anxiety attacks and overall stress during the last few months, that I've allowed my mind to wander even more than a Piscean mind normally does. I've thought about Lotter wins and having enough money in the bank to retire early where I'd spend my time writing and taking... Sign in to see full entry.

Am I tired because I'm uninspired?

I have been working from home for a week so haven't had the early (5.30 am) starts nor the travelling into London. I've just had to walk down a flight of stairs and login. Today I did have the commute and have been absolutely exhausted all day. When I'm mentally fatigued my mind starts playing all... Sign in to see full entry.

Village life

Another reason for my long absence for Blogit was that we moved house last summer. We now rent our cottage out as a holiday let. We moved to the village of Burwell, still in Cambridgeshire but now only about fifteen minutes from Cambridge. It's been a particularly good move for the children. They... Sign in to see full entry.

Tired

I've been working on web content all day and my eyes are really tired now. I'm not sure if it is just staring at the screen or not. I do try to take lots of breaks - making cups of tea and coffee - and do drink lots of water during the day. I think I'm basically bored and feeling a little... Sign in to see full entry.

Trying to stay focused

Thanks to everyone who visited the new site I've been working on and your comments. Feedback is really very welcome - good or bad. I've been working on another major piece of content this week and then I hope I can get back to concentrating on traffic and looking at user patterns and so on. Actually...

New website

Hello. The reason for my long absence from Blogit is because I've been buried under a website build that actually I should have been on top of! The site was finally launched on May 19th 2008 and you can visit the IPA here. The IPA is a trade and professional body for UK advertising agencies and this... Sign in to see full entry.

Nine months away

I cannot believe that it's been as long as it has since I last wrote here. I have really missed it and only fully understood how much when I came back into the familiar structure of Blogit. I have been working frantically on our new corporate site, of which more soon, and also rediscovered my love... Sign in to see full entry.

Empty

Hello everyone Having written about creativity yesterday, I went on to play pool with our son and listened to music with our daughter. I then read for a while and watched a little television. I think all this creativity must have worked on one level because I went to sleep almost instantly and sank... Sign in to see full entry.

The need to take a break

Working in advertising, with many really talented people, it's easy to assume that they've somehow found the secret of creativity and can turn it on at will. Of course, no one person or group of people has creativity as their sole preserve; it's in all of us. As for turning it on like a tap, that's... Sign in to see full entry.

Not one big picture, but three

I walked down into the village today to pick up a Sunday paper which I then proceeded to read outside in the garden, after copious amounts of toast, jam and tea. A lovely way to spend a Sunday in England! Today's choice was The Sunday Times, after the Observer last week. I have to say that, having... Sign in to see full entry.
