How I did it: At first I was very strict with myself and actually worked with fewer breaks and comforts than I do in the office, as I almost felt guilty for being in my home environment and I felt that I had to prove myself.I then became more relaxed and found I was struggling to get motivated, and wasting time.After moving into my new flat which had decent internet, comfortable and quiet places to work and a pleasant outlook, I settled into a routine … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I left London to get some space and a change of scene, and to re-examine my priorities in life. I went off travelling for 4 months and spent another 5 months living in Oxford and seeing family and friends.

Their work was an inspiration. I’m profoundly touched.
I’m working at the Kentish Town City Farm as a volunteer with an art therapy group – not working directly with the animals but also might be helping with an eco build there. The animals are lovely though and it has a real farmyard vibe, right in the middle of Gospel Oak!
I’m currently still reading:
