NBD normally means no big deal, but for me it is a noisy brain day. Which in itself is no big deal.

It’s when I don’t sleep because my brain decides to list things I want to do. It also decides to try and incorporate all my interests into projects. Half an hour passes like this:

• Research land that is small enough to buy
• Write a business plan for an ecobuild that is also interesting to look at
• If the build has a use for the community I have a better chance of funding, but what am I good at?
• Could the build be used to show the process of the build?
• Look up how to ram earth and source hempcrete
• How do I make windows?
• What if it all falls through? Can I obtain a storage container and make like an avant garde living space?
• Shall I crowdsource? Will I look like a freeloader if I do?
• If I cannot find land small enough to buy look into land to borrow – from university/college/council
• Visit Brighton to see Earthship
• Think about doing a course in permaculture
• Are there DVDs/books I can afford?
• Write a budget spreadsheet
• Put to-do list in my calendar
• Subscribe to RSS feeds when I get to work
• What about other plans in the meantime?
• How do I prioritise?
• Is there somewhere local doing what I plan to do?
• Are there local companies who will work with me?
• What order shall I do things in?
• How do I not get stressed out when loved ones suggest alternative plans because mine are ambitious?
• How to stay positive
• How to quiet my brain down
• Shall I get up and write?
• I want to return to Brighton
