2020 has been a blast so far, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m lucky, my job has been fully remote since March, so I haven’t stopped working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The downside is that I haven’t stopped working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some weeks it’s great, others there is so much to do and so little time to switch off. The days with back-to-back video calls are completely exhausting. Anyhow, I’m starting to feel a bit frayed at the edges, so I looked for things to occupy my brain that don’t involve computers for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I printed figures to paint, got a load of yeast, collected books from the lockdown library, even bought a mini potters wheel! While I start all these projects, I just don’t have the attention span to apply myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think there is maybe only so much focus to go round and I’m focussed on keeping my job by keeping my colleagues and clients happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m also focussing on not giving myself a hard time – 2020 is brutal enough, so I’m being kind to myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So be kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
