Yesterday was a great day. The sun was shining and I managed to get a huge\u00a0amount done\u00a0whilst also spending time with Max.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t get much better than that!<\/p>\n
Because the weather was so good, Max was\u00a0outside playing with Holly. His favourite toy is a\u00a0push car, so while I was mowing the lawn, he was pushed alongside me getting\u00a0involved.<\/p>\n
Then I set the sprinklers up for the lawn, which gave us plenty of time to play in\u00a0the sprinkler\u00a0before we began to water the plants.<\/p>\n
Max has turned out to be a great plant watering, particularly when Holly is nearby and he can\u00a0try and surprise her by showering her in ice cold water \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Then I got the fire burning and got rid of all the garden waste.<\/p>\n
And finally… I finished off the day after Max had gone to bed with a bit of work.<\/p>\n
Damn, it felt good to have done so much in a day.<\/p>\n
It’s also started off the week\u00a0with a great feeling.<\/p>\n
Try and get one day of high productivity at the beginning of the week and it will make the rest of the week\u00a0go well.<\/p>\n
Ciao,<\/p>\n

Just how has Cramer pulled all this off?<\/p>\n
