Without words

Desk day today after a few days of out and about and before the folks arrive from Scotland. ☕️ So it’s all the tea ( & coffee) & attempting to focus, single task and block out the other news and goings on in the world. 🌎 What are your tips & tricks when you want to really focus? . . 📷 ☕️ from wonderful @veronicadearly . . . . #focustime #timefortea #brexit #ecodesigner #freelancerlife #emotionalresilience #creativefocus Some Wednesday morning autumn leaf magic to get you through the week 🍂 Lovely morning out with @limeorangeheart making some footage for an upcoming @rdghydro community #crowdfunding ( stay tuned) 💧 . . . . #communityenergy #rdguk #caversham #getoutsidemore #wednesdaymotivation #instavideo #fallingleaves #autumnsun #grumpyface #liveyourvalues #authenticbusiness #hydroenergy #renewables #ecodesigner #sustainabledesign #inspiredbynature North, South, East or West? Sunday’s are about resting, resetting, clearing the skies after the often unpredictable weather of life. 🌧 Connecting again with your inner compass 🧭 . . . #lifejourney #innercompass #liveyourvalues #bethechange🌎 #sustainabledesign #sundaymotivation #rdguk #ecodesigner #emotionalresilience #weathervain Yep, no things today! It was all about adventures.✨ VERY wet ones on a new walk from Henley 🌧 . In the run up to the big C word, this is a great campaign @makesmthng from @greenpeace highlighting all the good stuff you can do for you and the planet ( and it often doesn’t cost much). . So time to dry off and feel good after exercise and adventures 💙 . . . . . #makesmthng #wastelesslivemore #inspirationeveryday #getoutside #everdayadventures #ecoliving #rdguk #conciousconsumption #ecodesigner Still time to grab yourself a ticket for the first @rdgukoh on the 7th of November (that's tomorrow or today depending when you're reading this) 🤓 Head on over to their profile, follow the link to the website & check out the super range of sessions all held @fora_space by the station and fuelled by food and drinks with support from @oracle as well ✨ I'll be hosting a relaxed session where we will explore sustainable circular design for your business ( & you). 🌱 Let me know what topics and questions, advice you might have as well on this! 💙 But perhaps not my phone......for a week! Yes it finally happened, the dreaded dropping out the pocket and into water and testing out the old rice trick ( with no success) 🙈 When I was away for work for a week in Edinburgh for @climate.kic Pioneers @climatelaunchpad (and combining with catching up with family) 💙 But guess what! I survived. I planned my journeys, arrived on time, checked bus stops in advance and remembered the way to go from previous trips. In workshops, events, meals and play I was completely present! 🙌 I've maybe not been updating here ( and well breaking your phone is not the way to go). But perhaps we all need to all breakup a bit with technology in our lives, less tv, less scrolling, less screen time? 😊 More time to think More time to connect More time to really listen More time to be creative More time to just be, on the bus, train or in nature 🌱 Anyway I'm now researching repair options....... . . . . #unplug #digitalnomad #ecodesigner #repair #pioneersintopractice #systemthinking #systeminnovation #ecoliving #rdguk New week, new routines! Ours now involves this one 🐶💙 . As if I needed an excuse to get out into nature more and away from the desk.... 🌳 . . . . #rehomeddog #newweek #mondaymonday #rescuedog #newroutines #rdguk #mondaymotivation #ecodesigner #patterpoo ( we think ) #2ndhandclothes Excited about the Festival of Digital Disruption @fodd2018 coming up in November ( and you should be to)! www.fodd.co.uk 🙌 It’s a 3 day celebration of digital creativity and innovation from the 21st – 23rd of November in Reading, UK 📸 There’s an amazing and growing line-up at the #TechforGood conference to help inspire the next generation. 💻 You can also sponsor a place or 2 and enable students to attend ( #TechnicalNature got behind this one, as engainging in thoughtful, considered tech that can help support people and the environment, is right up our street) 🌎 Alongside this there’s the #fashtech challenge for schools where I’ll be joining to talk all things sustainable product design for the fashion industry. 👗 You can already get involved, download the Mobile Games #shoplocal #rdgindies App! 🤳 So what are you waiting for? Head over to the website and share, support, attend, speak, sponsor and let’s Disrupt Digitally ( for Good)! 💫 . . A huge shout out to the super team & supporters behind it @louconnect @feelgoodcreative @carolinegratrix_viva @antoniataylorpr & @henleybschool and loads loads more! . . . . #rdguk #greentech #smallbusinesslove #rdgukbiz #ecotech #fashtech #ecofashion #sustainabledesign #ecodesigner #techtakeover #digitalnomads #disruptiveinnovation #dodisrupt #circulardesign #stemgirls #womenintech #womeninengineering #digitaldesign #productdesign #startupbusiness Hello Monday 👋 You may be a bit grey & wet but it’s “Thyme” to get to work.
