Just another 30 day blog challenge… #17

This is the opening line and the one that shows on facebook so it better be good! Hell's teeth batman! Ok I could see how you think this is two days in a row I have skipped, but really it is one. Why? I am on the way home after clearing my head into Trello and Mindmister.

This means I don't have to come up for air until Monday, well Sunday night. I am on the N25 "down the Ronford Road" we have just passed "Grafters Agency" which is on the right as you head towards sunny Ilford.

What a day, the pace as certainly picked up this week. The weeks before were a blur and a punch in the head. This week was a calm fight and a God fight.
I am going home very late, by choice, knowing I am totally planned for the week and ready for what is coming. Next week I am going to happen to my week.
Too many times in the past few years my week has happened to me.

I have also found a balance that has eluded me for years this week.

Yesterday (Thursday) I Jon and I did podcast interviews back to back. Far from being exhausting it was energising.

It was epic fun and truly great being able to get so many people from our projects and Meet Ups together in one room at the same time.

However, I did find it mentally draining and certainly not in a negative way. It was a little like being at your own wedding were you know everyone in the room but the don't know each other.

Anyway...
I am off until Monday now, so you are going to have to hold your breath to find out what happened when a group of super models came into 90 Main Yard listening to Joe Cockers leave your hat on.....

Just another 30 day blog challenge… #19

It was 1997 and we were coming home from my birthday party we'd been to the cinema or a pub and it was late, very late to be out with Jenny and Anna. One of the things I liked about being with Jenny and Anna is that it was all moments, no gasping highs and dreadful lows, just moments - little bits of music, food, walks interspersed with mugs of coco and good coffee. We'd been together on our birthdays at 18, 21 and now it was 1997. I was a bit starting to feel really lost but still 'acceptabil

I have always been thinking how many dumb things I say to #babybernie and then expect him to NOT  follow my lead. I have this 'thing' about not shouting at him or loosing my temper, it is hard sometimes but really, what is the point? "Never did me any harm...and I got shouted at all the time." Is what people will say, so if it does not make any difference given the choice would you have been happier off being shouted at or not shouted at? Having said that... I did shout a bit when he got to t

Should You Close or Keep Marketing Your Coworking Space Over the Holidays?

The Case for Taking a Holiday Break For coworking space operators in London, December is often a month of tough decisions. With the festive season in full swing, many wonder: “Should we shut down and take a break or keep pushing our marketing and communications to stay visible?” While closing and switching off for the holidays is tempting, there’s a compelling case for staying active — especially in a city where self-employed workers and freelancers rarely switch off entirely.
