💭 Monday: Scheduled Daydream Day.

🧠 After working all weekend (and having amazing conversations) my brain always needs a responsibility-free-day. I mark these days in my diary as days for daydreams and weird ideas only.

🪫 How do you recharge your batteries?

Interesting answers so far! And the fun thing is you get to see how everyone else answered.
Which label would you rate as the most: Floral / Woody / Sweet / Citrus? Quick Buzzfeed poll here www.buzzfeed.com/typetasting/...

This is the first stage of an experiment that I’m planning to run at in-person events. I’ll be doing the second stage at our Open Studios day on Sunday 1st December.
