25.01.2022 "Do you get sick of writing sometimes? Even the most enthusiastic bloggers have days when they struggle to get the words out. Perhaps youve been writing a lot, or you simply arent feeling very creative. But what can you do?... One option is to do away with most of the words. You could create a very short post, or one that focuses on images or videos instead of written words. But if you want to publish a full-length written post, you need to take a different approach. Here are four different things you can try." https://problogger.com/dont-want-to-write-much/

Heres a good article from the ABC on ways you can help if youre in a position to do so.

18.01.2022 The downside to the flexibility of freelance life is sometimes you need to work on the weekend. But Im making the most of it with a spot in the sun while writing a case study for an IT client!

17.01.2022 Love a good book sale! Thats my weekend sorted!

16.01.2022 Great suggestions here from a fellow copywriter for ideas to create your 12 month blogging plan. "If youre planning to blog regularly then you MUST have a plan preferably a 12-month plan. Initially, it may be a little bit of work, but it will make your next 12 months that much easier when it comes to writing your blogs." https://www.melbournehealthwriter.com/how-to-create-a-12-m/

12.01.2022 I just watched this fantastic talk by Sir Ken Robinson, one of my favourite speakers. "Your whole life is composed by the choices you make - the turnings you move towards, the ones you turn away from, the chances you are prepared to risk, the way you deal with fear or you dont, and in the process you create a life of some sort."

12.01.2022 I have a couple of finance blogs to finish this afternoon and a tech article to write. The topics are a little dry and I need to get creative. I have my "Songs that make me happy" playlist blasting upbeat tunes and a cup of tea, but I still need more. I think I need to hit my Pomodoro timer hard to get through them. Whats your best way of motivating yourself to get through a load of work?

10.01.2022 Arrgghh - today is a day I wish I drank coffee! Not much sleep last night, an early morning and Im trying to write a very formal press release full of acronyms for a rather dry IT subject.

08.01.2022 Are you a neat-freak or a clutter-bug? I hover between the two. I like having everything on my desk that I may need, but then I have bursts of frenzied cleaning when it all gets overwhelming. And I have been known to procrasti-clean at times!
