Is a blank sheet of paper more intimidating than a long to-do list?
Since the coronavirus lockdown began, I've tried to tame my ambitions. At least, I've tried not to set unattainable goals for lockdown. It's easy to take something like being stuck indoors and tell yourself that now is...

It's been a while. I guess nothing proves the monotony of coronavirus lockdown like my desire to return to Write Together.
I last wrote here on January 15 2019. Three days earlier, on January 12, I wrote about what would happen should my habit break, my writing streak lapse. Would...

I have to be honest. A few weeks ago, I didn't know what an osteopath was.
Maybe I had an incling that they had something to do with joints, but definitely nothing more than that. Then my back started spasming suddenly and I realised that for months - maybe years...

Yorgos Lanthimos isn't the most conventional of filmmakers. His previous film, The Lobster, is described on its Wikipedia page as "absurdist dystopian black comedy film". Any film that requires 4 adjectives to get even a little closer to describe it clearly isn't conventional.
I haven't seen The Lobster, but I've...

It’s 10.15pm and I’m knackered. I’ve had a hangover today, and unlike normally, it hasn’t abated at all in the evening. If anything it’s got worse.
So I guess this is where we really find out how strong this habit is becoming. I almost forgot about writing today, and then...

When I started this job, I didn't have a clue. I had part of a clue. But not a whole clue. But I convinced everyone that I might be able to one day have a clue, and so I got the job.
The hard bit came when I had to...

As a kid, I didn't enjoy watching sport. It made me stick out among my peers. I prefered music, and theatre. My parents both watch loads of sport, and my sister was always the one who was good at it.
My Dad's a massive Burnley FC fan. So if I...

The things they never tell you
Everyone is making it up as they go along. Even the best don't actually know what they're doing.
Sometimes, the people you think are happiest are, in fact, the saddest.
Learning is difficult.
Being a good friend is harder than it looks, and you...

Here's where I'm at. I'm questioning everything. My brain's a bit of a mess with it. It turns out re-prioritising is difficult. Here's where I'm at.
Do I really get value from scrolling through Instagram mindlessly? No. The app's now gone from my phone.
How much better informed am I...
