Calm Before the Storm?

The desk is tidy; the papers are in neat piles, labled with where they are going and who they are for; the diary is up to date and my phone isn't stacked up with voicemail messages to reply to. Hmm, this is unusual. Don't get me wrong - I like to be tidy and organised but most of the time there's a little voice in my head reminding me that I haven't done something, called someone, gone somewhere and so on. Today, the voice is quiet and I actually have time to do that one thing I am always suggesting to clients - reflect.

There are three new projects about to take off and what better to do with this lovely quiet day but to just sit back and think it all through? I do this best by moving from my desk to a different part of the house - downstairs on the sofa works well because I can watch people walking up and down the road and It feels good to be connected to the outside world. (From my desk, I can only see the upstairs windows of other people's houses and there's nobody much around during the day up there!) I will make myself a good cup of coffee, gather up all my 'research' materials for the first project and open a new, lined, spiral-bound notepad. I already have a new pen - these are the things I need to concentrate and be creative.

There - now I've written about it, I want to get down there and do it so no more blogging for me today.

See you soon,

Angie
