Lighting the fire in June

IMG_6950

So today we lit our open fire today at home and it’s the 3rd June.

Ok so weather can be a little unpredictable in the UK, however, 11C in June is not normal.

That’s the thing, things rarely are normal, yet we plan and live our lives expecting normal.Normal is a product of the mass system, that loves average. Creating or expecting average, vanilla or normal is dull.

Plan and live for the unexpected, it’s more fulfilling.

Colouring pencils and planning

I love technology and I use a whole variety of different apps to organise my daily life.

However, if you really want to visualise your plans or a project, then there is no substitute for scribbling on a good old fashioned big sheet of paper with some coloured pens and pencils.

Doesn’t matter how you do it, the simple step of putting pencil to paper and drawing it out is a very powerful way of feeling, visualising and creating a plan for something.

No app can create that feeling and there is a huge pleasure in doing something different and creative.

You may well then create all the necessary steps on cards in Trello or a simple list on Workflowy or whatever your favourite app is.

Always start with something you physically draw or write out, it’s a way of expressing your passion for creating your dreams that will make a big difference to the outcome.
