Despite working from home for almost 6 years I often still feel like I’m finding my feet with it all from scratch. My life has changed so much over the years and naturally, it’s affected my workdays but there are some golden rules that I now try and stick to and if I go off track I notice a big difference in my productivity levels and also how I feel about work in general. When you’re your own boss you have to have to be strict with yourself there is no denying that and learning that kind of self discipline by itself can be so difficult but these are the things that help me stay on track.

I hope you’ve all had a good first week of September? I’m such a summer lover but I can’t deny that I’m a little excited for the cooler weather, for the leaves to turn a vibrant shade of red and to not have to worry about walking my dogs. September is one of my favourite months for a couple of reasons; it signifies a fresh start and all the good tv shows come back on tv and this is everything that I've been enjoying lately on tv and online.

Happy September! And apologies for being a little bit quiet over on this part of the internet, I wanted to take a small break before summer came to an end to regroup and find my focus again. I don’t know about anybody else but August is always a difficult month for me, I think all those years in the traditional school system are permanently etched on my body clock and I slow down a lot as the summer haze takes over. That being said it means that September always signifies a fresh start for me and this is what I’m changing up for the last quarter of the year.

I’m not sure what it is about Sundays but they’re my all-time favourite day of the week, Monday is a close second but there is something about Sundays that make my heart so happy and it's been that way since I was a child. Especially really early on a Sunday morning as the world feels so quiet and peaceful. And weirdly, it’s always my most productive day too and this is everything I love to do on a Sunday.

It’s been a while since I’ve spoken about one of the biggest loves in my materialistic life…stationery. A few years ago I was a little obsessed by picking up different journals and to-do list pads but then I found myself too scared to use them as they were just so pretty so I put myself on a spending ban and forced myself to use up what I had. But now I’ve been able to work in a few new paper products into my life and here are the details on my current stationery favourites right now.
