Just making the effort to wear something other than black jeans & t-shirt might help?

My house is being redesigned at the moment to accomodate an extension on the back of the house, so I've had no kitchen or dining room for a few months, and my new writing shed has been used as storage since it was completed! I haven't succeeded in retraining my brain to work in the temporary work space, the box room, so far. But as the house will not be back to normal for another several weeks, I'm now reorganising the box room with your tips in mind...

The one room I have not gone anywhere near is my study. Mainly because I rarely work in it. I prefer the morning room because it is lighter, I can watch the birds at the bird table and I can get to the kettle. I can also get to the rest of the house too darn easily too. I need and want to reclaim my study. Perhaps I shall start with paint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-88631000609924058212013-03-22T13:20:09.179+00:002013-03-22T13:20:09.179+00:00I used to have an orange balloon as my boss.

It helped me manage the transition from having a PhD supervisor who (occasionlly) checked up on what I was doing and being entirely in charge of my own time. I realise that is far more flippant than your sophisticated technique, Nicola. Sorry, I've lowered the tone...Stroppy Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560035800075465845noreply@blogger.com
