Still, there is still time to turn this all around and I’m going to try and be a bit easier on myself because it doesn’t ever do much good to set unrealistic expectations. Factor in a return to office working (been working from home the last two years) and my time has been much more limited. My mental health also took a bit of a downward turn which really hasn’t helped. I think I might have been putting a little too much pressure on myself. I was determined at the start of the new year that I was going to try and blog more consistently but that ended up not happening (the opposite occurred actually).

It’s been ages since I last posted an STS post and I’ll freely admit that I have been dragging my heels a bit because I’ve accumulated a load of books in that time so I knew it was going to a bit of a monster-sized post! 😉Īs to what I’ve been getting up to lately, well I’ve been neglecting my blog for starters.
