Nicknacks had a rather straight into deep water start to the year. Hopefully getting back into the swing of things helps with your mindset. It

If you have busy days then only aim to do the bare minimal, and more on the more relax days work wise. It is a trial and error process but it is totally worth figuring out the specifics which work for you.
