DIY Date, Dissertation, Driving, Run, Ramble and Reading

Hello all! So much to catch up on!!!!
My boyfriend and I decided to have a date night at home last night and it was really lovely to open a bottle of red, snack on some olives and cook together. We had garlic flat bread and a side salad and made creamy spinach gnocchi and mushroom risotto using BBC Good Food recipes. It was delicious.  
I managed to hand in that dreaded dissertation which was beyond a relief. Handing in something that has taken me a year to produce was quite the task. Feeling relieved that that is out the way and I only have my exams until I graduate! PHEW. I also have got back into my driving and have enjoyed being able to just drive out into the countryside and feel the freedom.
I went for a run this morning. I know ...what a terrible idea. But it was really nice to get out in the misty rain and just run. Well run/walk with a lot of huffing. BUUUUUT I made it further than I was expecting. It was nice to feel the freedom running gives you when study feels like prison.
I also went on some walks this week and I will insert some pictures I took below. Sometimes I enjoy just taking a second to take out my phone and snap whatever I find that makes me happy or I find interesting. So here they are:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I also thought I would give a shout out to the graphic novel ‘Into the Woods’. I have never got into graphic novels and I think this one has given me the bug! The illustrations were gothic but colourful and I loved the use of only a few primary colours to contrast the creepy stories. It was quite a quick read and therefore I have picked up ‘Nimona’ for a bit of a longer read and I can’t wait to get started!
This week is going to pull full of remembering papers and taking short breaks with the boyfriend whenever I can.
Hope all is well with you all,
Lozzy

Mastering Productivity and Time Management

Those emails need replying too, the phones ringing AGAIN, the boss needs me to have a meeting with a client by Friday, that report needs writing, where do I start? Do you sometimes feel a little overwhelmed by the amount you need to get done? Do you find yourself flitting between multiple tasks or avoiding it all together? This post is for you! What is productivity?  Productivity is your sustained progress towards a goal over time. It is your ability to keep ploughing through something at a good rate. Being productive is obviously important when you have a set deadline, you need to get xyz done by a certain date/time. Productivity can become difficult when we don't have these things, however, being productive can be crucial for our mental health.  I found that during lockdown, my productivity dropped and so did my mood. Being able to build in routines and daily activities helped to boost my productivity and made me feel more accomplished .  Unfortunately there are a lot o...

10 things 2020 has taught me so far

This year has been strange for all of us. Some people enjoyed the time off, some hated the lack of structure. Some loved spending quality time with loves ones, others felt claustrophobic. Some of us felt all of this and more. But you know what, I learnt a lot. I learnt a lot about myself that I didn't already know and i'm sure many of you can resonate with some of these points.  I found out that keeping busy was my way of blocking things out. When everything stopped and I could no longer keep filling all my time with 'stuff' I found that I felt quite uncomfortable. Unaddressed demons kept popping up for the first few weeks. This time made me stop and address things I had otherwise would have kept putting off further. It felt healing to let things go and focus on me. Work does not define me. Your job is a part of you, yes, but it is not everything about you. You should not tangle your self worth up in anything that is outside of you.  I found out what I really enjoy. ...

What a week....

Hello again everyone! How have all of your weeks gone? Mines been absolutely, unbelievably shocking… Its been one of those weeks where you wonder if the world is trying to spite you. 12 hours of typing up data was enough to start off my week in a bit of a huff, followed by a cancelled lecture… I was not a happy bunny. After a not so great presentation, a stressful driving lesson, software not working and probably another 15 things iv tried to forget, I am back here again a week later. Everything has been more difficult than it should have been and its left me feeling all together quite annoyed. So sitting down to write this is making me feel a little better… even though the clocks have changed and its now dark at 5…..why. Enough of that rant. Good things have happened! I went out on Friday night with my friends and stayed over the night. It was really good to let my hair down and relax for a day after such a hard week. Also I carved this loooovely pumpkin. Look how cu...
