Day twelve: my trip to St. Albans

Today is a Tuesday. And it felt like a pretty significant Tuesday. I’m not sure how significant yet, because I’m still getting to grips with it. I went all the way to St. Albans and back to see a coach. I found her because I read her book on returning to work after maternity leave a few years back. The main thing I took away from it:

  1. work out what your dream is
  2. work out how you get there
  3. work out how much money you need to make and where it will come from
  4. work out what you want to spend your time on (divide the week into chunks – 10 for instance – and allocate percentages)
  5. I’m better than I think I am
  6. I need some time off
  7. I need to aim for what I really want to do
  8. Believing in myself and finding time for planning are bigger issues than writing itself
  9. I want to find balance
  10. I need to stop the busyness
