Ever tried free-writing? I've just completed a Masters and would use free-writing as a warm up exercise fairly regularly. Not sure it works for everybody but it seemed to work for me.

I have started to put my work in my diary, particularly when I need to focus completely. People look in my diary and if I have a meeting-free day, they assume that I will be at my desk with my feet up waiting for some work. The office cultu

Ever seen http://iampaddy.com ? I like this site because: there are very few posts; all of them are quality; the design is engaging; it is very easy to follow the author on twitter; reading each article takes little time. Looking at your b

Another thing is that I have a clear separation of work and home life. When I leave the office then I don't think about it until I arrive the next day and can generally wind down very quickly. I am probably fortunate that my work does not d

I've agreed with the good lady that I will work in the evenings between Monday and Thursday, which normally gives me three-four hours a night, after the kids have gone to bed. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are for the family with the odd exce

I check it at least five times a day, normally reviewing the comments. Favourite posts for me are requests for help, e.g. to review sites or ask a general question like this one, because you can generally learn something from people's exper

I'm not a big facebook fan. I joined but then deleted my account (or so I think!). So I quite like the idea of this, but I wonder if the distributed node based model will ultimately hinder this idea from getting real traction.

I've only recently joined, posted my first request for advice and received some great advice. In a world of social sites where people just tell you what they had for dinner, this site feels like a great find which is full of interesting art

Reasonable comments. This - and the above - is the type of commentary I was hoping I would get. If I consider myself as a customer aswell, then am I likely to be swayed by a few dollars difference in a monthly subscription. Probably not. An

I have updated the title. Rewarding the beta testers seems like a fair thing to do. The banding we are thinking about is between $4 and $8 per month and we would probably like to start at the $6 per month mark, or $5.95. We are not particul
