For what seems like an age I have been trying to put a strategy down on paper.

Today things just seemed to fall into place and I’ve just added up that I’ve worked for about 8 hours on this today, re-drafting and rethinking and all the time getting a little more energised, rather than deflated which is what normally happens when I try to get stuff on paper.

It’s strange as I look at my work now and think ‘that’s flipping obvious’, and ‘how come I never thought of that before.’ It’s probably not a great strategy, but on a day when I planned to be doing other things the ideas for this just flooded in.

Seems like that when I took my focus of this task which has given me a headache in the past that the ‘de-focusing’ allowed my creative brain to start to work on the problem. I’m pleased with what I have so far.

The day ended well chatting with Malcolm from GYFC and then with a good short governors meeting at my local school.

Tomorrow I am off to Loughton to meet up with a good number of YFC friends at one of our annual get togethers.It’s a highlight of the year for me as I look forward to catching up with so many people.
