Even though moving can be quite a chore, it sounds like you're embracing the positive and excitement of being in a new place. Cheers!

Great post and tips, i'm a self employed mum of 1 but my nephews (4 boys) have come to stay with us during the summer holidays and my schedule has completely gone out the window since the summer holidays started. Thanks for the toolkit.

"Embrace the shitty first draft."

So true. When I first started professionally writing, I would spend ages dreading starting because I didn't want to face any failure. Well, spoiler: it was never that bad. Just a little stinky, lol. Thoroughly enjoyed this post!

Some lovely ideas that brightened my bus journey thank you. I have started scheduling times for so much in my life. Felt like a ghastly bore at first but it is so freeing as I get more done and enjoy a bit more time off then. Wishing you an easy move and great holiday time.

Ah! I loved this. I’m a teacher and I have purposely not brought any work home this summer to reset and reevaluate things… I also have kids but they are older and less dependent. Thank you for the tips and good luck with the move. North London is best
