I'm currently retraining so I can leave my miserable company and set up a new business doing something I love and that I'm good at. I just have the small matter of a qualification needing completed standing in between where I am now and where I want to be.

I've got seven assignments to complete and some other bits and pieces to write up. The practical side is all done but I'm really struggling to motivate myself to get the written parts done. There is no firm deadline which isn't helping me and I've broken my made up self-imposed deadlines several times over.

Is anyone else a champion procastinator like me? My new plan is to write something everyday, even if it's just a wee bit. I know that when I get started I actually get quite engaged in the topic and can get a lot done but it's the starting that's the problem.

Would anyone like to join me so we can hold each other to account and report back on a daily basis that something has been achieved that day?

Hi, I could possibly be interested but sounds like the work we are doing is hugely different..

I’m going back to studying this year - once I can decide on the subject! Happy to be in a study group
