It’s that time of year again – back to school. Now, it’s some years since I went to school and I don’t have any children of my own, yet I’m still conscious that it’s back to school time. I’m resisting the urge to go and buy a new pencil case, though in my view there are few ills that can’t be solved with some quality stationery.
Back to school is a bit like Spring, a feeling of something new starting, the next phase getting underway. Those of us lucky enough to have been on holiday – or even who made the most of the bank holiday weekend – will be feeling reinvigorated and ready to get stuck in again.
In my life, today marks the one year anniversary of my freelance working life. That being the case, I’ve scheduled time to have a review meeting with myself, look at what took place in the past twelve months, and what I’d like to see happen in the next twelve.
As always with exercises like this, it’s an opportunity to remember some of the things I’d forgotten about, celebrate some successes, build upon the things that surprised me and guard against the things I found tricky - short, dark days of winter, I’ll have more planned treats this year for a start!
If it’s been a while since you took a pause to reflect on where you are, where you’ve been and where you’re going, why not do so now as we move into the autumn term. We’ll be crashing into Christmas before you know it!
