Prepare to Fail! or so the saying goes. Since I've returned from my holiday, I've not been great at continuing all of the habits and techniques that I had started building. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed. Part of the reason for this is that, for one reason or another, I've not had the chance … Continue reading Fail to Prepare …

Since I've started this blog I've been quite good at getting a post out each week on the Sunday. That was my goal to ensure that I kept it going and to give me the time to plan and prepare.
