I am quite the queen of time-wasting. I have the knack to fritter away the day surfing the net, reading emails and browsing photos on flickr. Before I even look up it is 3pm, the cold remnants of a bowl of coffee by my keyboard and I'm still in my dressing gown. Do you think I could get a job doing this??
I'm supposed to be researching a new project - a new way of making a living, where I have the freedom to be my own boss and have only myself to answer to.
This new found laziness does not bode well. The fact is, I am perfectly happy doing very little. Unfortunately, I don't think 'very little' pays well...
There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. The cold sharp reality of the end of unemployment benefit is sure to jolt me into action. I have been lucky enough to be cradled by the French unemployment system for the last few months. It's the first time in my life that I have ever claimed any kind of benefit and I am starting to understand the kind of apathy that creeps up on you when you are out of the structure of a working environment.
I know I am more than capable of starting my own business (it will be my third) but it's the lay-ins and flickr addiction that will be the hardest to give up!
