Busy busy busy.
This basically summarises my life at this moment in time.
I am currently working on one of my favourite clients, who are an exciting business with some cool products. As it’s a year-end audit the client is FTSE 250 listed, my life is mostly work right now. Yes, the timing isn’t great as it’s summer, but in a weird way, I kind of like it?
Like, it’s nice to be busy throughout the week and constantly have something to do. Of course, long-term this isn’t sustainable, but after the long(ish) break in May, I feel like I needed this. Also, apart from a decent week in June, the weather in the UK hasn’t been that great. So it’s not like I’m missing out on much anyway.
Outside of Work
Apart from that, everything is pretty much normal. My gym routine has slightly shifted as I have been travelling more for work throughout the week. However, I am still getting my sessions in. In fact, I actually feel the best I have ever felt in the gym. Not only this, but I am enjoying going to the gym again. A large part of this is probably as its summer, which certainly makes them 7 am sessions easier!
There is also a big personal goal I have been working towards this summer. I have to be honest, so far, I haven’t been successful in reaching that goal. However, the important thing I need to remind myself is to be consistent, keep pushing, and hopefully, I can achieve what I set out to achieve. I can’t speak too much about it yet, but when I can, I will be sure to share the journey on my blog.
