Thoughts: The last half of the year

So it's the last half of the year, I hope the first half was a good'un!

But even if it wasn't, it's not too late to make it the best year of your life so far.

Think about:
  • how you use your time - after all, time=life
  • what matters most to you
  • what drives you mad
  • what makes you happy
  • who you could help
  • who you could ask for help
  • where you are most needed and find satisfaction.

Don't beat yourself up. Just switch it up and start with one decision - that's all it takes!

Have a brilliant weekend

Life: 2010 - So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye!

The year has been eventful hasn't it? No Big Brother on channel 4 (but I think The Family has replaced that reality hunger ;o) ), X Factor's growing bigger than ever (thanks Wagner!), Kate and William are giving us a Bank Holiday next year, the economy was a lil' better than last year (but it's still not great), cables released what world leaders really think of each other, parts of the US and UK almost came to a standstill because of the white stuff - snow, that is ;o), Northern Ireland and parts of Yorskhire are without water a man who created a system for guys and girls to rate attractiveness (allegedly) became TIME's person of the year , and we came to learn that 500,000,000 of us use it in an entirely different way as Facebook. So, what did 2010 mean to you? I hope it was a good 'un, the fact that I'm still here to make my dreams a reality is sommat I'm grateful for. If 2010 wasn't your best year so far, make 2011 so. ...

Art: Joe Simpson: Your New Best Friend…

… well, that's according to his Twitter bio, anyway. Ebunola Adenipekun talked to the 26-year-old portrait artist who’s managed to merge his (and many others') two loves: music and art Joe doin' what he does best - paintin' masterpieces How much art do you do in a day? Today, for example. Are you an night owl, early lark… or both? I try and keep normal-ish working hours – generally I go into my studio about 9am to 6pm on weekdays and have weekends off. I do this so that I’m in line with other people and it’s easier to make social arrangements. I spend a long time on my own in my studio so I need to interact with people in the evenings to stay sane! Sometimes, when I want to accelerate progress I’ll do long stints and stay late (and become less sane), I very rarely do anything before 9am though.  Joe at Brighton There’s always been that cliché of artists starving for their craft. Have you always worked as an artist and/or had other jobs in addition...

Career: Ever wanted to know how to succeed as a journalist?

Freelance writer Bim Adewunmi, 28, who’s written in publications such as BlackHair magazine and The Guardian , gives us some tips… Bim in the sun How did you get into journalism? I decided to be a journalist when I was 18. It sounds slightly immodest to say that I was always good at English, but I was – it was my favourite subject through all my school years. I dallied with the idea of pharmacology before coming to my senses – I can only assume I was drunk or high to think that was a good choice – and so alongside my A-Levels in Chemistry, Biology and Psychology, I tacked on an AS-Level in Media.  After a year out spent working and travelling in America, I went to Bournemouth University and did a degree in Multimedia Journalism. It was a great course and I’m really grateful I did it. I learned old-fashioned journalism skills – teeline shorthand, newspaper reporting, the basic rules of writing copy – and also benefited from a great teaching staff of working j...
