The posh coaster

Why my pen pot sits on an Ivy coaster - And no one else sees it but me

Sometimes simple reminders are enough to push ourselves everyday. One of the great things about my job (European Event Director, Revolution Events - see if this page is still active - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/deborahpuxty ) is that if you work hard you play hard.

Now a few years down the line (nearly 10) I cannot play as hard as i used to, and i am expected to work harder than i used to - so when there are benefits for my efforts i will take them.

A simple coaster from a nice restaurant reminds me that if i put the effort in then i get rewards.

5 days a week I encourage myself with a simple visual aid - if i put the effort in, i get benefits.  This is not just work, it can be attributed to all aspects of life.  I work at relationships, personal and professional - i work at my job - i work to stay (fairly) fit and so on.  The world doesn't owe anyone a living, so make your own luck and happiness kids.
