After eating one too many Magnums to acquire free Gold Class upgrades, it was about time to appreciate another Gold Class experience. There is nothing better than enjoying a dessert wine & a hot chocolate in the cinema!  I pressed the button to start my seat reclining in preparation for the commencement of “Julie & Julia”. Julie Powell’s goal was to make her way through 524 recipes from Julia...

I’ve noticed lately that I’ve been struggling with my time management. After a busy day at work, I’m not coming home with a focused mind ready to achieve the tasks at hand. Part of the problem is due to the fact that I’ve had too many projects on the go at once – and I’m trying to do them all simultaneously. I’ll start something; I’ll think of something else 20 seconds later, and then I’ll...

I’ll often come up with some of the best ideas at the most strangest of times. Capturing these ideas on paper has been my challenge. I often feel like I’ve got all these great concepts that need to map further, but by the time I get a chance to break it down on paper, the meaning gets lost in the process. Little did I realise that the solution has been sitting on my bookshelf for some years, unread.  It...

Time for another challenge! Every morning I must wake up 45 minutes earlier, in order to find my ideal morning ritual. I’ve never bothered with a ritual in the past, as I’ve always felt like I haven’t had enough time (after sleeping in). It’s about time for me to devote more moments to myself each morning to practise meditating, goal setting, exercising, reading and more. I’ve been monitoring twitter...

After celebrating Father’s Day recently, I decided to interview my very own father, Anthony Annesley for the second podcast in the My Creative Escape series. Anthony and his partner Cheryll are beginning their  online journey by creating a blog site and developing eBooks in their niche of natural health. We discuss both online and offline businesses, and some tips for maximising our energy levels during the...

From the 31st of August to 4th September, I set out to solve one of my biggest challenges. Can I be a morning person for five days straight?  This week was all about testing my will power and changing my mindset in preparation for whats to come. I also really wanted to capture the sunrise on video, so I decided to take my HD handycam with me to capture my journey. Part One: Day 1-3 Part Two: Day 4-5 Day...

At 14 years old, I built my first website. When I initially started exploring the Internet back in the late 90’s (I believe the year was 1999, and I was in the first year of high school – year 8), one of the first things that excited me was the concept of having my own website. The question was – what topic to pick? I started a fan based website on the Star Trek Voyager television series (yes, I will admit...
